also to the 1st little crisis of the 19 seventies and the breakdown lever, bretton woods settlers at a time. it was possible to lead the world back to a path of growth. and that is my idea. as the current g 7 chair elude military of the move because the beds for obviously in polar were using the opportunities we have as an economy in order to get the gas and he, to your process down to an acceptable level. that's why we have an economic defense . if she you worth $200000000000.00 euros, which also contains this gas prices ceiling. we have a commission set out from academic scientists or employers unions, municipal utilities in energy providers. and i made a suggestion to this last weeks how we could really strongly limit the price hikes or gas and district aging. the message suggested or have bunking in commoner, they keep energy affordable to life. i act fast and the, and do not with exclusion incentives for savings. and that's what we are now.

implementing yarmouth at the latest march next year. old citizens that receive gas or distant heat. and we'll get turtle based, contingent utter, become a better price in order to make sure we can provide relief early on. the commissioners suggested that the utilities will get money for this payment, unaccountable by the country of loss already in december. and we also want to, ah, target assistance for companies both began swollen, so we can say to day, no single family, no pension on a student or company needs to be afraid or not to be able to meet the prices for electricity, gas or district. on the cell number, because we have your carefully offered a prepared our defense issued for 2 and a half years. so as to be prepared for the next winter to looking at that time scale the $200000000000.00 euros,

approximate 2 percent of our g d p. that is about the scale of the packages for assistance which other countries in europe are, are, are preparing and will be preparing, such as france, italy, or spain. the all personal use for the european union also has sufficient financial effectiveness to withstand this crisis of fall as from the r r f. the reconstruction and resilience facility, which we designed it during the covert pandemic. only. here's the effect of the funds have been paid out, which means then, more than 600000000000 euros are still available to strengthen our national economies and to use for extending renewable energy. although it ultimately winds up in the front, we've agreed er to finance reap how i e u r. which was the chief very recently by european ministers of fine amazon making available 3 digits are of billions from

the next generation you fans, so that we can be come independent of fossil fuels. i'm willing to see how these and other available funds can be used more efficiently given this current crisis. i live on multiple ladies and gentlemen. it is the know, this is you are being solidarity that makes sure eggs in a european union does not succumb to legal and clear coatings energy as blackmail. everybody busy. but dear colleague over all these tests that we are now facing because of this war of aggression, there's one thing they mustn't lose sight of our target is to phase out, ha ha. so whoever resources will be me, we need to develop renewable energy efficient grades, and it will have more energy efficiency. that's the best strategy for making sure we have both affordable and secure energy supplies. with

a labor you wind turbine onshore offshore. every p v system makes us just a little bit more independent of expensive oil and gas approximation of the energy sector by industry. the modernization of our buildings extending the re way and municipal public transport system driving up e mobility and ah hydrogen, that is what we are really doing as a central job for the decades of your state and beyond. things have been put in motion. we've got the most comprehensive amendment of the renewable energy act of the last decade offshore. that's been decided. we're also accelerating the development offshore wind power. right? we're going to have a new on power wind onshore, wind power law coming into force, which will make available to percent of the area of our country for wind power and in the order in the autumn. another package for accelerating planning procedures will be decided because what i promised at the end of year will be killed. all

roads, regulations, laws that are needed for germany to make its climate targets will be firmly in place before the end of year. but what we will, even though the course at the each level, we stay the course as well in the coming months, we want to come to finer agreements on the fit for $55.00 packets, which will serve a booster for international climate connection issue with the forthcoming european council meeting our position for the or while climate conference in chandler jacob will be agreed on the russian aggression and its consequences must not lead to a global re nations of cold. so we are gay, so constantly clear off us on the table. so that is fine, and that is the flow of developing countries and the other big start, newly developing countries will also be able to go towards climate neutrality and will help those countries suffering from the consequences of climate change. already did it polygonal polygons, debiose hormones,

colleague, thought, and lieutenant, we are still facing these days, require all of us to think, noon, and be brave for faster. with a lot of pressure to in recent months, we were able to make decisions that reach fine to the future. we did so for europe far country for our citizens about the middle under in mavita alden and in this process we kept on vendors. all righty. thinking fighting for the best way ahead, and that's what we will do in the future as well, because it matters autocad, tv in an autocracy like russia. here the target is the best security, greatest uniformity, creativity contradiction or punish the push and brain composition, members disappeared to prison for many years to order, forced into exotics gushing lease back at last, but not least, we see what some of the nobel prize peace prize winners are this year half of cassini, the will, that is a shame we are reminded of, but in this our democracy, i mean our debates, me the free media,

the public criticism give new impetus for change and progress all the time. dick d flat is the screenshot of an open society. that image is the strength of a democracy even do this thing lisa does, ladies and gentlemen, it is but put in and his followers are dramatically underestimate the hero. and that's why i am more sure than ever asking the okay, put in is war against ukraine and all of the free world will fail from really it already has a new trained on germany and europe. ha. that and you'll remain strengthened from these tests or more united and more independent than before.

all united and more independent. you heard of them from all our thoughts, germany's chancellor there his aims in the face of this war and ukraine and the global energy crisis. of course, not the only one facing these problems that are so many countries around the world are facing right now as a result of the war. and in a moment, we'll go to our corresponded at the talk more about that. al corresponded at the parliament who's been listening to all i've showed his speech, and in a moment to our corresponded in ukraine. first, you need a hassle who's been listening to the speech made of what stood out to you most from the german chancellor addressed to the german power. well then to be honest, one of the strongest moments i thought in their speech was a when all sorts called the air attacks are those. so those deliberate attacks on the civilian population in keven of the cities,

a war crime by putin now will have shown is careful when he uses word in words in the public sphere. but he already after the atrocity in butcher back in april, he used the term war crimes, and he reiterated that now to day. and this is probably also something and that he sees necessary to convince people that support for ukraine has to go on for quite some time. and that is something that came across very strongly in their speech that he says, it's a generational task to rebuild this country. and it's the west's job to help you train with this effort and are here in this context. mentioned the big international conference that he's organizing. for next week, ways bringing together expose the i m f, the an investment bank on the european level to help discuss essentially how ukraine can be helped in this matter than you spoke at lang at length about energy security. and we said actually we're doing quite well. gas storage facilities are

filled here in germany. so there's no need to worry about this winter. this was probably also targeting the domestic population at home german voters who are very worried and we are beginning to see demonstrations in germany across the country and protesting against those high cost of living. so he spoke at length about less and try to make people understand and just what the government is doing that. but when it comes to the issue of energy prices, he said that is a different matter. energy prices are going through the roof and, and there are different, different proposals on the table also from brussels, from the european commission, where germany is not exactly in line with other european partners. just which measure met method is the best to use. and it said that prices can be kept. so we are expecting long discussions in brussels to night over this issue. because of

course, this was this piece that he gave before traveling to brussels. the problem being of course, that there are 2 huge challenges here. this is not just an energy crisis, it's a climate crisis. so trying to shift to renewables, but trying to make a quick shift away from russian energy which can't happen overnight, but which politicians have been talking about months now. and of course, all of us are looking for solutions, just like the german chancellor is to bring us back to ukraine, though to russia's wall, which has sparked this energy crisis. what did the chancellor have to say there? for the people of ukraine? what, what did he have to say as far as weapons go? well, he says he's message to the ukranian people. why you can't trust germany. now, that is not something that you can take for granted. there is a discussion in the baltic states and in poland and in parts of ukraine as well.

can we trust germany? is it willing to sacrifice to make sacrifices in this fight? is against the russian threat essentially. and so this was a very clear message from the german chancellor to the ukranian people. yes, you can trust us. we've delivered an air defense system that we haven't been able to afford for ourselves, for example. and, and 3 more such systems of the iris t r going to follow. you also spoke about the training mission where germany is going to help train ukrainian soldiers. they're setting up a new brigade and of course of financial and the financial security of ukraine. he said is also safeguarded until the end of this year. so he reiterated essentially that germany stands by ukraine and some of those soldiers to be trained at the headquarters to be set up here in germany. dana has a thank you very much for the analysis. as i promised, let's go to mathias bowinger, who's in keith and joins me now. what is the ukrainian government likely to make of

what chancellor sholtes just had to say that well, source of course said the things that from the ukrainian point of view when necessary for him to say that ukraine was expecting him to say that he would continue supporting militarily and financially, also the reconstruction of the country. but the question is of course, what the substance of what he said. and he basically talked about what he has already done. now, the criticism of germany was very harsh in the beginning of the war because germany was reluctant to provide weapons. has some, has somewhat softening, but germany is still a con. considered a country that is well, never very much is not leading in these discussions and needs to be convinced very slowly. and this speech is certainly not going to change that. but

on the other hand, of course, discussions about weapon systems, about deliveries of weapon systems, about financial aid. they are not so of via public speeches, but via diplomacy, via talks between the 2 sides. and that's, of course, something that is happening. we've seen this week that was in the other talk between the minister of defense of ukraine and of germany. so these talks are going on, the substance is decided they're not in public speeches, but it's step if somebody had expected that shows might come out with new announcements. this has definitely not happened in this speech. it's pretty much, even the wording things i hear said before. so just to make it very clear to our viewers, germany has said it will continue to help defend ukraine or help ukraine defend itself, as long as it takes the it's help and support will continue. but today,

no new promises of any new weapons of any kind there. and that is what keith has been demanding, though, how urgent are ukraine's needs for more support. now the past 2 weeks, the tax on many cities in ukraine, including the capital key of have shown that the weak spot is still defense and defense is something that germany has been providing the iris t, the system that the very modern system rocket based system that can hit, for example, plains and rockets is working, we are hearing the 3 more are weighted. now ukraine is asking for systems that would be more effective against drones. i would be smaller and more flexible systems. also, systems jam drones. german companies are making these among others,

and that's something that discussing about, i mean, germany is not reluctant to deliver the systems. it depends of course, on the time it needs to produce them, etc. but a defense is something that germany has been doing. also with these gephart tongues, the more critical or the more controversial topic. tons of battle tanks that can be used in battles. germany is still reluctant. there. there was new know, new announcement these times would be needed in the counter offensive shows has talked about the tank swaps with jim the provides modern tanks to eastern european countries, you members and they then ship their own sub yet tanks to ukraine. that also helps, but it's of course not what ukraine is hoping for in the longer run into longer and they want more modern systems. that's the point where the 2 countries are really far away from each other. and yeah, i think the one thing that we,

we should be looking for in the next weeks, again, also said nothing about it is whether germany will be providing ukraine with more modern ad defense systems. that's something to watch. speech hasn't said any, wasn't about it, but i'm, yeah, we all air air defense systems because in that, as we've seen, mathias just in the past 2 weeks last week in the rocket attacks and strikes across ukraine in cave as well. and in these drone attacks that we've seen an increase in drones that are allegedly coming from iran talk also to day of missiles possibly are also being delivered by iran to russia, which are both allegations which have been denied by around. but give us an idea of the picture of where we're at in this war, also in the south, in house,

on hundreds of thousands of people on the move. i trying to get away from this war or being ordered to leave a russian occupied territory. now there are russia, it is in the defensive is losing on the battlefield. so the russian general staff that the commander for the operations here in ukraine for russian troops and ukraine has said that they are in a difficult position in capstone. and they're expecting an attack by the ukranian army on has on an attempt to retake the city and the territories around it. and that's pretty serious because usually you do not admit that they're in difficult positions unless they really are. and they've also started to what they call evacuate people, which some here fear might be forced deputations for movements of people out of

these areas to either other occupied territories or even to russia and all that point to either ukraine really being on the offensive there we don't get a lot of information from ukraine. ukraine is very tight lipped about its operations, usually until they're done that has to do with operational security. but we don't really know that the russians, russian analysts have said that ukraine might have a mass, tens of thousands of soldiers there. they could also be an indication that russia is preparing a retreat from these areas. there has been some talk about that, and that's what, for example, a british military intelligence is suggesting that these talks about difficulties. we're preparing the russian public for retreat. so russia on the defensive on retreat even in the battle field. and they are stepping up their

bombardments of civilian interest structure of energy infrastructure here in order to either or intimidate the population, maybe pressure them into a more defensive position into giving up some of the objectives of this war, which is not really walking working. if we, if you've been following this war them, the more brutal russia was, are behaving in this war. the more determined the ukrainian public was. and the other thing is by targeting energy infrastructure is of course, weakening the economy. and the economy is, of course, something that, or even a country at war relies on it was need to be fine. and that was also an important point to insure the speech that they are that he said that the financial aid and from financial commitment to ukraine will continue. that's definitely necessary.

because besides fighting at the front lines, a war needs to be financed that he is building our correspondence in, keep they're putting out a very interesting topic and that is of energy. and we were all worried here in europe at the moment about an energy crisis. and the people of ukraine have been told to turn out the lights to day to go without power from 7 in the morning to till 11 at night. because russia is as mathias points out, their targeting infrastructure, energy infrastructure, and it is a very hard time for the ukrainians, not just on the front line. those who are also trying to yet get about and live their lives in a country that's in a war right now. but he has also talked about the chancellor's speech there at german chancellor or love schultz just gave

a policy statement to the german parliament ahead of a key meeting a be you leaders starting at brussels later, the energy prices and a looming recession. don't forget that they're just 2 of the challenges facing the e. you right now will lightly dominate talks in brussels. the war in ukraine has driven up energy costs, and his fear that public support for ukraine could wine as winter bytes. so e u leaders will be looking at ways of cutting energy costs for consumers. his a look at how skyrocketing prices for gas and o have created major headaches for many europeans. now europe in governments want to change that at the ear leaders last summit. earlier this month, everyone agreed energy prices have to go down. now several suggestions on the table for their next meeting here in brussels. the fast proposal on the table is joined purchasing, but this model energy supplies would be bought at a european union level rather than

a national one and subsequently distributed. this could bring down prices due to the increased purchasing power that might need some time to be set up. the 2nd proposal is agreeing on a maximum price limit paid for gas by all european importers. the intention is to prevent some of the price spike seen in recent months. but this measure comes with certain pros and cons. the advantage of this measure is that it could really reduce energy prices quite quickly. and at the same time it wouldn't cost anything to european states. but that, of course, has the risk that suppliers will not deliver enough gas to european states. because they, they have less incentives with a lower price to, to do so. the 3rd proposal is a solidarity mechanism. but this suggestion you countries would help each other out in times of the emergency supply shortages, transferring energy from one country to another. but for some that might be too

much to ask for. the problem is that a lot of especially richer countries ah, will not necessarily agree on a mechanism that makes them pay for the walls of other countries. we've seen that in the past before. it's always been very difficult to agree on that. so why should it be different this time? another idea is still being worked on is a cap on energy prices as done in spain. their government buys gas at current high market prices that passes that on to consumers at a lower cost and pays the difference itself. this is as pressure on households that drives up demand and could create supply issues. but these propositions on the table, you leaders now have to come to an agreement on how to lower prices, what securing energy supplies for next winter. and chancellor oil fields has been talking to lawmakers and the buddhist target head of that he use summit meeting. he

told them ross and lead of vladimir putin has failed in his efforts to divide european union countries by using energy as a weapon. put in house by turning off the gas cpa, which a black laid us that as a truck. but he miscalculated there as well. but it's also 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 a true at 1st when title 2 and how will a do that are coming back to our political, corresponding to hossa at the buddhist hog? schultz said his in his speech that europe can afford to withstand this crisis. what is germany willing to do to achieve this then? well, i love shows, reiterated essentially all his plans, how germany is going to get through this winter, but also prepared the public that this effort in supporting ukraine essentially

will continue for quite some time. and it is going to essentially also make people have to sacrifice things eat, try to highlight the complexity of the issue. he said, rushes war on ukraine has implications. well, why there is a global food crisis. and, and so people are also neglecting the climate change, trans transition essentially efforts to make their own economies greener. this is something because fossil fuels will be needed longer than expected. so germany, for example, is keeping its coal power plants running longer than and they had intended to do. they're also investing in l. n. g facilities. the 1st being set up right now. and the 1st gas is going to flow by the end of the year. so dems of energy security, there are quite a lot of measures in place here already to get through this winter. and this is something that we'll have. shorts said we were dependent on russian gas, but we are no longer in order for us. thank you very much. for covering today's

proceedings. interesting stuff. and a reminder of the top, sorry, by following fully german chassis, lola shows has given a policy statement to parliament outlining the challenges, facing his country and migrate the ukraine war. he underlined waste and alliances against what he said was an imperialist war of aggression and said, russian president vladimir, who would not achieve his apes. touching on the rising cost of living and said, the government was looking into waste when short energy supplies would continue to be available. i think as well. okay, 40 i ah

ah. enter the conflict zone with sarah kelly. moscow has stepped up a pre winter campaign to strike civilian infrastructure in ukraine using missiles and drowned my guests this week on conflict building from the berlin foreign policy for him and nato secretary general. yes. in birth, how far can nato members increased support for ukraine? go to help feed repel clinton's invasion with 30 minutes w. as small children. their parents took them to the distance for school. mm. they 1st see each other again, 10 years later, when they returned home, i didn't know what my mom did do i've been nervous. most damaging

and include, i'm in a my, let me know 90 children in 75 minutes on d w o interest the global economy our portfolio d w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance. east this is wes good, a step ahead with the w business beyond ah

ah ah ah ah, this is dw, use live from berlin, an imperialist war of aggression. japanese chancellor, olaf sholtes slams vladimir putin and says russia will not achieve its war or its aims in ukraine in an address to parliament. keith tells ukrainians to curb their power.
