ah ah ah, this is the w use lie from berlin, chancellor. ola sholtes gives a key policy speech to the german parliament, the war in ukraine and germany's response to it is expected to dominate. the chancellor's address comes ahead of an e u. summit of leaders in the coming out ah,

this is dw news live from berlin. chester, all i've sold gives a key policy speech to the german parliament. very soon. we will be shooting into i tuning in for that speech and also crossing life to our corresponded in a moment. i been puzzled and welcome to war in ukraine and germany's response to it is expected to dominate this speech. it comes ahead of an e. u summit of leaders in the coming hours. well, let's go over to our corresponded need a hasa who's standing by for us. ah, our political correspond, can we bring in nita, please? ah nina, what kind of speech can we expect from the chancellor today? and what will he use this occasion to convey

well, it's a tradition, the german chancellor does give a big speech ahead of every you counsel. so that's not like an emergency speech today, what we're going to be seeing, but he's going to stress why his decisions in recent weeks and months have been right. and especially when it comes to support for ukraine, he does need to have everybody support. he does need to have the backing because of course, the efforts to support ukraine are also having implications on domestic politics. and so this is something where he's going to try and conveyed to members of parliament here, just why it's necessary to continue supporting ukraine militarily. but also financially and unconditionally, essentially, as long as it takes this has been the message. but then he's probably also going to tackle the issue of energy and just how that governments across europe are going to try and prevent prices from going up through the roofs. and this is something that he's going to have to explain because it's also drawn. germany's measures have

drawn criticism from other you partners as long as it takes. and it would be interesting to see if there are any solutions in the speech. ah, as far as ending this war, which has been going on for some 8 months, germany recently set its 1st air defense system to ukraine. can we expect more modern arms as urgently requested by the u. credit government? well politicians here in berlin and stressing more and more that this war hasn't just gone on for 8 months. it has in fact, gone on for 8 years. it started with the invasion of crimea. but of course, this phase, this current phase started in february. so this is something where we'll actually has repeatedly also said that we are going to have to prepare ourselves for a situation in which putin is going to try and basically destroy ukraine as a nation. and at that, nobody knows just how long he's going to be able to do that,

and that everything needs to be done to help you crane defend its own sovereign territory. so this is something where we're not going to expect. we'll have chose to announce new arms deliveries to ukraine. germany has you mustn't forget delivered the 1st air defense system iris t to ukraine. that was a vital step because of course germany had also been criticized for being too reluctant, too slow, not delivering enough, but with this iris t now in use in ukraine, that has also managed to restore trust, somewhat between ukraine and germany. the next 3 models are going to arrive in ukraine from germany, in the course of the next year. so germany has been doing a lot more than people have criticized it for that love. so it will probably also focus on just how nations g 7, but also that you can help you crane recover and how those partners can essentially

help the country reconstruct itself, how you train economy can be revived. and we'll have childs is going to invite partners like the and the i m f and the european investment bank to berlin next week, where they will be discussing exactly that point. what needs to be done so that ukraine can continue existing as a country. this is something that he's probably also going to highlight. we're still waiting for mr. shalt to address parliament while we're waiting that pick up on a point you made. then nina trust, which is based of course on or is built for unity and shelters. giving this speech ahead of an e u summit in a few hours where soaring energy costs will be top of the agenda. germany had drawn criticism for announcing its own huge energy age package without 1st going through the french. and that's causing a few problems between the 2 big economies of the you do expect the

chancellor to change this plan? well, negotiations are ongoing. what germany keeps dressing. and the chancellor himself as well is that germany has adopted measures that are in line with you. rule so he says there can be no talk of germany going it alone. he says, of course, because we're a big nation. everybody is watching us all this more closely. but essentially, germany has promised a german voters of that 200000000000 euros will be spent up to 200000000000 euros over the next 3 years. so that consumers, but also companies can deal with those high energy prices. now that has drawn criticism from you partners because of course not every country has the financial coffers where they can just pull out money like that, like germany is promising to do. but then at the topic of energy, of course,

is something where it will have shows that said, this is just a measure that we need for the transition period. we need to become more sovereign, we need to become more independent. we do need to take these measures at the moment, but what we also need to talk about, he says, is add the transition towards a green economy or how to boost investment in renewable energy sources, for example. and there are a couple of proposals on the table from the european commission and germany's position there is something that is, again, also drawing criticism because germany says it's not a good idea to him, to essentially set up some sort of a dynamic price cap as was left on the line, the head of the commission has suggested and because that would essentially mean that the security of energy supply can't be guaranteed. it's a complicated thing, but all i showed says, if we decide in the you to said c, tap the prices for gas,

then m of the ships that will transport gas might just go off to asian countries to other countries, also need gas because of course they want the higher prices. so this is going to be a very big discussion all night in brussels. we're expecting a very late press conference because of course, and the issue of energy security is something where all the governments are under pressure to deliver solutions to their own populations, carry their voters as a big fear that will leave her in europe. that could be social media and get back to you in a minute. they get the chancellor, isn't that again? the very colleague and i'm calling i hadn't speaker colleagues, lady santana jacob, that those are warding crowds. it's laws i'm proteins are merciless weapon, eyes in your hunger out. energy in mind, must price rises, it and we're going to via germany in europe. if his are experiencing a testing times we haven't known in decades before, denot tests in which the shooting of be forced on us with his imperialist technique

. board of aggression here shredfly for our whole war, racy houses as human weakness clause, and seeks to exploit it. shooting half on clouds of its roach, but see that's how caught in acts a doctor, he subject you crane follow to terror. for those rosemont him, i blatantly without any responsibility threatens the use of nuclear weapons to the world. he once dear, so fear divide and intimidate, he speculates that we are weak, isn't that he's wrong? we are not we in the lunch did susan? good morning. this is dave to let the urine don't stamps together and show solidarity of it. vitamin with each other than and with ukraine, our global alliance is a strong deal and alive as never before i put in will not achieve his range

of huntingdon, he can fit, were begun when put in his daughter the war. in february, speculated ukraine will be vanquished in a matter of days. siglock put in himself, believe that joe assist and ask as well, is the scales differently, try it out on different because ukrainian missing or bravely defended by a country fried with hines and a painful sacrifice of it opened differently also because of the partners of ukraine, including us to support this country in political, financial, humanitarian, the terms of vance, my supplying weapons of artillery air defense. that is what ukraine needs particularly urgently. and that's exactly what we supply hockey. we have modern tank. how it says we have multiple rocket launcher systems. the backfill deal with the checks with i said, are here with grease in slovenia. has been criticized by some people here as being damped, grabs but mo, it has become clear that this way the ukraine receives

a good 100 tangs, that their soldiers can use immediately. okay, now we are one of the 1st countries at the beginning of june to sublime, more than to pledge more than air civil defense is dom and the 1st one was actually handed over to her ukrainian weeks last, last week over earlier than planned. and 3 more will follow as soon as possible. we have heard of light anti ages, aircraft massages, we have supplied man pegs and see the gay par, denti arkwright vehicles, where people said, oh, they won't do anything. there isn't even enough ammo for it. now we see they make a real dizzy on the understood, suggest a time, right. i also thought is, is shown by the brutal russians really attacked by rocket as well groomed out on the civilian targets which was seen in previous fortnight. their random victims, men, women, and children healing diseases even though so like you, mister shaw is up to love, have experienced persecution and terror and survived it. da see you again have to

fear for yet of their lives. and we are really honored to have you to day as our guest velocity use an escalade, even the most reasonable escalations coming from our slow do not all turkey to remain unanswered. we have another packet of sanctions, which means the you is increasing the pressure on the russian government and we will stick to that cause why russia continuous, this brutal war of aggression, even in the cycle of the g. 7 hits of state and government last week together with president zalinski, we reaffirm flat intentional attacks against a civilian population constitute war crimes. to put it bluntly, even this is the type of scorched arch in tactics will not tell bratia when let all of you. it only lee and firms. the determination, the endurance of ukraine and its partners in the end are russia's, i terror of my bombs and missiles is an act of desperation,

just like the mobilization of russian men for war. mr. kick. this means that the finally the was reached, the very heart of russian society. it's reached families and the strainers hundreds of thousands of russians avoid the draft. many are leaving the country on all these lines is either the propaganda that talk of your special operations and fast winds . all this is just like a stage setting like potemkin village. the ocarina ukraine will be successfully defend itself, and we will support this country as long as it takes long as alluding thought spoken, he could divide as europeans, but his chief, the oper, siding target a few days ago, at the founding meeting of the european political community $44.00 european

countries and the eel institutions have reaffirmed the principles that the borders must not be moved by force. hunter, not one of ice and no other civilized country in the world accepts the title. that very clear attempts not the russia is using to try and gain parts of ukraine for itself, the illegal sham referenda and danny, at school hans grierson and somebody's year we're just a fast and their results on millen void with the of the want to secure because the resolution should understand lives when they're looking at the result of the vote in the general assembly you united nations last week, north korea, syria, nicaragua, and belarus. thus finding these appear then were the only 4 countries that voted with russia on that $343.00 countries. those of, in my contrast, clearly committed to this sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. that's

actually more this time then in the march vote, which was taken after the war started freely the frog. at the same time, many people ask themselves how eliza crazy ward of futons could be ended. but most i think the ukrainians wish for peace. i chose to present insolence, his readiness to embrace a just peace cannot be overestimated. therefore here in close contact with our friends in a cave, we as the d 7 declared a few days ago, what exactly is necessary to achieve that? a just repeat means it must not be appeased, dictated to we are integrated. but on the sovereignty, territorial integrity and defense capability of for ukraine's must be guaranteed to day and in the future. our willingness to give as the guides long term security guarantees to ukraine with a view to work truly viable piece solution is something which we have reaffirmed

again at the g 7 meeting at the beginning or pearson got them. and the european council meeting, which starts today, we will also see deliberations on further support the ukraine. the good news is that the financial requirement cleaved up until the end of the year's been more less covered with the you and the g 7 playing a decisive role. sure, but the war and its consequences were keeping busy for many years to lung. it's all the more important, therefore, to think to day what we can do to support ukraine in reconstruction in the future. if you've seen the pair of pictures of the villages and towns which have been liberated from russian occupation will understand that this is adult for generations. where all the civilized world we need to bundle the strength was a lot on the line. and that is my ursula on the line and i as president of the g 7 of lea, economically strong democracies, have put together bright minds from academia, business and the civil society to come to berlin on 25 october. as going to be an

international law meeting of experts where on proposals can be made for a long term, reliable and transparent reconstruction of ukraine. and thus they will provide an input trade for an international marshal plan for ukraine. little internet sooner. liquid, closer european and international coordination is also necessary when it comes to the military support for ukraine that is addressed. and i already made when i spoke athletes. charles university in prague in late august. this idea has since moved on on monday, the e u for a menace i've decided on a new training mission for about 15000 ukrainian soldiers here in the european union. one of the 2 headquarters is going to be in germany and. and until spring, we're going to train a full brigade with up to $5000.00 soldiers. thus,

we underline our willingness to be involved in the long run fold and building up the ukranian armed forces, hand in hand with our partner in the light off, is changing. well times we also offer change our own from security policy set up in germany for she did a focus. the reason for that was the special assets made available for the armed forces, the re focusing of armed forces to national defense and nato. and to take over greater responsibility of the alliance is east and flag. and another pointer is the national security strategy we're developing. and again, my that are also proposals for security corporation in europe, which are outlined in might ranks b. i'm very happy that the idea of close at corporation in europe when it comes to our defense was so quickly taken up by 14 other european countries of expressed their willingness to work on that with us. that's exactly the type of synergy, the kind of very smart division of labor that we will need for europe. security now

also months pleated the recent war, though fords does not only have profound consequences for europe all over the world . it has caused bottlenecks. when it comes to fuels and food and fertilizer, but fatal consequences is 830000000 more than one in 10 people in on this planet haven't got enough to let it go and cut foot and doesn't just excel that. he uses hunger as a weapon, must not deserve veiled pork. we need to face up that alyssa test. actually it's a question of humanity architect love. it is also a question of our credibility of the lender. if we want to select the country costa africa, asia, latin america, and the caribbean, to provide support in the future as well, to defend more international law against aggression such as on the russian aggression intrigue. then it's only necessary that we take seriously their concerns

when it comes to copeland with the consequences of this russian wall. it is thought it very early in the year in union to find alternative ways of exporting ukrainian grain by using the railways or to see rules like the danube river right. to see. but we've also supported the united nations and turkey when it comes to negotiating to opening up see roots in the black sea. and we are helping countries all over the world who are dealing with crop failures, with hunger, and with bright sites, with bread and other basic food stamps. one of the central objectives of the g 7 was setting up an alliance for global food safety. and am very glad we managed to do say in these in tucson, because even though this is the ledges of the deserving the mounting to $14000000000.00, we have at least an opportunity to avert a global minor hunger disaster of in

a give that ladies and gentlemen, energy is where police bye put in till the last long before destroying than all stream height alliance in the baltic. sea russia already cut it's deliveries of iron or stream ones without any comprehensible reason. sales was law. this russia, under putin, is no longer a reliable trade partner. with you, the for us is the door did us. and for all the world, it means all stolen from a large part of the 155000000 cubic meters of gas that russia used to ship to europe through its pipelines is now missing. and the wild market put in health by turning off the gas, you be able to blackmail us out of the truck, but he miscalculated there as well. but it was because europe understands together . and we as a country or guy, i've made sure through the measures taken in recent weeks and months that we can

say with optimism, we have work weekdays, and together we will and become my la throughout this, if it went a little to an off in our time at all, we were able to build alternative infrastructures for imports versus l. n, determiners, and vill. hampton and bronze riddle will come online before the end of the year, and the 1st deliveries via those mean may well follow. more terminals will be added in the course of the next year, just for the past week. we've had the 1st gas coming to us from france and the capacities in the west. european poets from the netherlands and belgium are also used in order to acquire additional gas supplies. reliable partners such as in norway, have increased their deliveries to us that option. and so i'm good when it comes to united states in the countries of europe peninsula, we've concluded new supply contracts and more are being prepared to do all these measures by half. and so i've been instrumental in filling our gas storage in your event, in germany dipped in in time for the winter better than last year. by the way,

the level of to 95 percent working gas storage available, which we wanted to achieve by the 1st of november has already been exceeded. that's a huge achievement. yeah, mm hm. and even does me calling weekdays the li did snip that we will reconnect it from 5 co fire power plants to the great. just recently 5 more are huge leak nights . poplar units in the in new sasha and in the rhine valley have been added for mom, a measure limited in time, but it's still necessary as an emergency measure because we stand by allah climate targets, which we set with order as we are may make sure that all 3 of them of are still operational nuclear power plants can be used for all of the winter. that's what the cabinet to prepare the ground for yesterday . and finally, companies have made it easier to move from gas to other energy. so the shortest

fuel switch is the buzzword here, checked on all of this strength of the energy supply security, the german urinal. see them in addition to that other savings efforts on the take my, many of our citizens and companies for which i am truly and very great one bills and gas for poll. i'm squeaking together. we want to reduce our gas consumption by 20 percent, because every kilowatt hour we save will increase our energy security. in florida, this is ben, and i'm glad to hear. so even though that we manage at the european levels to agree on their savings target. 15 percent in gas light consumption that we sent out a strong signal european solidarity, particularly video in country which opinion until now was particularly dependent on russian gas. was it is the operative word because we have to buy, freed ourselves on this independence and are well prepared when it comes to this

coming winter and looking at the ledger. and there is one more thing i would like to mention when we're talking about energy security, our security, annoying, foresman agencies, the federal police, the various federal criminal offices, are organizations, the be a drug at all doing everything we can in order to protect our critical infrastructure working together with the providers and operators, we also agreeing with the partners in both you and nato. we have close agreement with sweetener, denmark, when it comes to resolving the eyes of sabotaged property day. we answer to an all stream pipeline social visit. um the navy federal police have everything and dock is available. i'm showing a military presence and this year we also want to decide on corners downs for an umbrella law to better protect critical infrastructure. we know that given the size and complexity of critical infrastructure,

there is no such thing as absolute security. but on file we let it pass me and above all, we will not be intimidated when it underly in again, ladies and gentlemen, energy security is one thing warm in a gay prizes and the energy prices which are far too high. that's another huge test . far country entry iraq, no question, the prices got for electricity for heating, gas, oil, and coal need to go down down into acreage as a level which is acceptable for our citizens. and our company's landline will rightly be one of the easiest to be discussed at the european council meeting today . and tomorrow, in process we've got, we've decided here in germany we'll, we'll, uh, put in a ceiling for electricity prices about back to him to parallel to the decisions

made at the european level. and we work quickly at trying to implement that quickly . the idea is that citizens will then be relieved a bit by a basic vinegar, contingent of electricity. we've tried to do it the european way, and within very few weeks we got majorities in europe on our side. what this shows is that the you is capable to in these questions that germany will always make sure that this european capability will, will be strengthened by utilizing her gulf when it comes to gas and heating prices . the matter is more complex because the gas price is decided by a scarcity is in the global market tissue. but here too, we have to have reached a piercing fart at the european level. at the council meeting today we're going to discuss bundling almost our demand. so i'm very grateful to the european commission for the proposal to build purchasing communities of european countries, which will then jointly buy dazel. it's also right that some of the capacities of

european gas storage systems will be filled together in the next year. the model trading up europe has shown the way the victim by this, against, than just play in developing or an additional gas price index. additional to the t t f. we're going to think about how that can be done. it could be a reference point of future gas in porch a contract submitted again to the best remedy. again for this gas supplies, though, is to quickly develop renewable energy. st commissions has already made some suggestions for simplified planning procedures, which we want to also applied to the launch grades. and that something which i will try to strongly advocate at the council native in the old modem also seemed to replace it with the russians and a gas appliance which had been cancelled. we also need to work with countries when it's possible to open up new gas fields. all of that, of course, within the framework of the obligations we entered into in the paris climate abroad

. where was again to discuss how we're dealing with price, high exec armstrong, doctors, the commission proposals on that will be scrutinized very closely. leadership is at step christ, sticker price milling decor, imposed wides hunter. text always has a bit of a risk that producers will simply sell negative elsewhere and we in europe will not end up getting more and but less gap. so the unit, i agree with other gas consuming countries like japan and korea, so we don't end up competing with each other at woodson, nearby. and we also talking about an appropriate price with the producers. i'm convinced that countries such as the u. s. canada on all way, as i country is not nasty together with us, are solidarity, associate solidarity to ukraine. have an interest in making sure that energy in europe were enough, becomes unaffordable. we also discussing that within the g 7 teams was in finance. ultimately the g 7 in those days it was still the g 6. it was actually establishing a good one. as an answer to the 1st hour crisis of the 19 seventy's and the

breakdown lever bretton woods settlers at a time, it was possible to lead the world back to path of growth. and that is my idea as the current g 7 chair lou looks military of the movie, got the beds for loosely in pamela. we're using the opportunities we have as an economy in order to get the gas and heat your process down to an acceptable level. that's why we have an economic defense. if she you, it was $200000000000.00 euros, which also contains this gas prices ceiling. we have a commission set up from academic scientists, are employers, unions, municipal utilities and energy providers. and i made a suggestion to this last weeks how we could really strongly limit the pi sites or gas and district building the message suggested or have one thing in common. they keep energy affordable to life. i act fast as the ant do.
