10:00 am
ah ah ah ah, this is dw, use live from berlin, an imperialist war of aggression. japanese chancellor, olaf sholtes slams bladder a potent and says russia will not achieve its ball or its aims in ukraine in an address to parliament. keith tells ukrainians to cut that power usage as russia
10:01 am
steps up, strikes on energy facilities. people are being asked to switch off the power robust the entire day. president lensky wardens. they are preparing for all possible scenarios with a view to winter. and britons government did disarray after the interior minister resigns and chaotic scenes in parliament with reports of bullying and physical and to support the government. ah, i've been fas all and welcome german chancellor. olaf schultz is given a, keep all the see state been to parliament ahead of a summer to be you leaders in brussels later today. and he promised the unwavering support for you crated the war there. he touched the conflicts, impacts on energy security and address the rising cost of living. you said the government was looking into ways ensuring energy supplies would remain affordable.
10:02 am
my thoughts also emphasized western unity in the face of what he called an imperialist war of aggression. as was an into a little of what chancellor showed, sad to say in hooton's war against ukraine and all of the free world will fail from things freely. it already has enough, but you train or germany and europe, however, will remain strengthened from these tests or more united and more independent than before. the w's political correspondent, in a hasa, is at the buddhist hug for us, and has been following that speech with us. in nina, an important message there for the people of ukraine, unity and also of continued support from europe. speakers, the economy yeah, and you said it continued support, that is the core message. essentially, all i've showed in his speech m could try to convince german voters that support for ukraine will take quite some time. it is going to stay vital for the next few
10:03 am
months, but also over the next few years. and it is going to also require sacrifices from everybody. this is something that will have. so i said we will continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes, he highlighted russia's threat against ukraine. again, he called russia's a deliberate attacks on civilian population in cities. like keith and levin that we've seen via the use of one used drones. he called them war crimes. now we'll have charge is somebody who's very careful when using weddings like this in the public sphere. so this was a clear message. we need to continue to support the support ukraine and it is going to take time. it is also going to take money. is germany more willing to said more modern arms, though as urgently requested by the ukrainian government o left shows essentially summed up or germany has been delivering so far. and he
10:04 am
highlighted the fact that germany has sent the air defense system, iris t to ukraine. the 1st such models are 3 more are going to follow in the course of next year. and this is a big step because of course, germany have been criticized for being too reluctant to slow, not delivering enough. and these criticism is still ongoing, but with the delivery of this advent system, of course it has waned some what it is and not as loud as before. but all our shouts didn't announce any new weapons deliveries a he but he stressed it. in fact, the need for efforts to help ukraine reconstruct itself and, and help itself recover because he also said that this country needs a vital economy. but i've got with me now a member of parliament who also has been listening to will have shorts. the german chancellor and to myself, a han is an m p. he's a foreign policy expert and is with the opposition. conservative. so what did you make of their speech? it is germany now helping ukrainian or we could do more. but of course,
10:05 am
the chancellor and the government has so the full support from the opposition parties in order to strengthen the european ability to act both in supporting the ukraine and in tackling the energy crisis. but this speech of the chancellor was scratch and inspired and, and emotional. we could do more and we should deliver concrete answers. all i've shown is also spoke about the big talons is that are going to await him when he travels to brussels. because of course, this was his pre you counsel speech that he traditionally gives before he goes to a big you meeting. and we can already see the problems there is probably going to have be long negotiations in brussels today. why is germany isolating itself when it comes to the measures? how to bring an energy prices down like that? indeed, germany is sir, reliable as a partner in the european union. but we also have to rely on our colleagues in the
10:06 am
european union. germany needs energy solidarity. now that's why we are urging the government to exhaust all the opportunities to increase our energy supply and electricity production generation in germany as far as possible and the better we deliver in this regard. the more we will also be able to rely on our partners for your party has criticized a germany's big double whammy. as all i've sold, put it as the 200000000000 years that are up to 200000000000 years that will be available over the next 3 years to help bring prices down. and what is your point of criticism there? why is it a bad thing to help consumers and companies deal with high energy prices? or the chancellor said to dave, consumers and companies should not be afraid of high gas and electricity prices, but he should take the fear from companies and citizens by in concrete answers.
10:07 am
companies and citizens want to know when they are supported and how they get the support. and this answers are needed now and in a very concrete manner. so the government has to deliver, and that the european union should convenience powers to take of these classes. and what is the message to ukraine though? do you think ukrainians are convinced after their speech, that germany really is standing by its side? on the one side, it was a clear commitment to stay at the side of the ukraine and to further support the ukraine. also, with military equipment on the other side, we could do more. many of us could do more, not only germany. and we should agree on doing what is necessary for ukraine also with military kidman in order to get to rush out of ukraine to missouri. hon from the opposition. conservatives. thank you very much. and back to you, ben, the nina,
10:08 am
could i just ask you one more question. i find it interesting either the german parliamentarians or civil one from c s. you said there that we could do more. and the child said in his speech that europe can afford to withstand this energy crisis . why then, isn't he promising even more and being even more concrete in his promises to help you crime we've also got to understand all our shows his character in this context. he is somebody who will try and work behind the scenes as hard as he can, but he will not make promises that he knows he can't fulfill away. he's not a 100 percent sure that he can fulfill them. so i'm not surprised that if there are negotiations happening behind closed doors, this is not the moment where it will have so it is going to reveal his plans to deliver more modern and military equipment to ukraine. for example, this would only be announced as soon as it has been decided,
10:09 am
and also those are still the big topic. ukraine does want modern army vehicles. it does want modern tanks, especially from germany. but nobody wants to see german tanks rolling through ukraine, attacking russian military and russian soldiers. so this, there is also this reluctance that is still happening and this is something white will actually wasn't clear. and essentially just summed up what has been going on already political cars, but i mean a has a at the german parliament, the good to start. thank you very much for your coverage which answer shelters, policy speech comes ahead of a key meeting of e u. leaders starting in brussels later as nina pointed out, there the energy crisis and a looming recession. a 2 of the challenges facing the block and will likely dominate talks there to the war in ukraine has driven up energy cra costs and is fear that public support for you. crank wayne as winter bites,
10:10 am
and people are told to turn off the gas. so it, you, leaders will be looking at ways of cutting energy costs for consumers is look at how skyrocketing prices for gas, and i'll have created major headaches for many europeans. now, european 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 china purchasing, but this model, energy supplies would be bored 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
10:11 am
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, or has the risk that suppliers will not deliver enough gas to european states because, or 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 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, the walls of other countries. we've seen that in the past before. it's always been
10:12 am
very difficult to agree on that. so why should be different this time? another idea is still being worked on is a cap on energy prices as done in spain. that government buys gas at current high my could prices that passes that on to consumers at a lower cost and paste the difference itself. this ease of suppression, 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 on securing energy supplies the next winter. will ukrainians have been told to switch off their electricity from 7 this morning to 11 this evening? it's in response to rushes, widening, strikes against energy facilities. the national grid operator says the curb is limited to thursday, but more restrictions and blackouts may be needed with winter approaching. for many ukrainians, though the 8th month war has already been living without power, eats all running water, preparing dinner in
10:13 am
a makeshift outdoor kitchen. 9 year old autumn and his grandma arena hurrying to get dinner ready before the setting. sun plunges their home into cold and darkness . seeing a horde you, it's really cold here. my guess is i'm sleepy in my clothes, in my apartment now. li, issue rushing strikes of cut off utilities and cities and towns across ukraine. and many residence here in the hockey region. we have been living without gas, water, or electricity for weeks down to push it move is enough. when you are from our windows were damaged to it. now we are only eating here, but sleeping in the next apartment because their windows are not damaged. so it's warmer, they're e, my don't care for many people bundling up at night and cooking outdoors
10:14 am
is a matter of survival. go through the situations like this is no electricity, no water, no gas recalled. you can see we're building fires and tom lives with his mother. she's disabled and is totally dependent on her son's help to do. it's a brother, so it's really cold. now. if it weren't for myself, only i would freeze. got you in the homes of residents living in villages like these and the thought he'd region have been thrust into a pre industrial era with no modern comforts authorities. the trying to reassure people that electricity will be restored soon and that repairs to water and gas infrastructure will come next. that with the war and with absolutely no certainty. people like autumn and his grandmother can only prepare for what will likely be a very harsh ukrainian winter. let's get an update on
10:15 am
the war in ukraine, but she is falling a hazy cave. i believe there has been some movement as far as your grades, military goes, tightening the news around russian forces around hessen. could you tell us more, there we don't have any confirmed advances. he had been fighting is going on there and we've seen some signs in the past few days that it does not look very good for the russian occupational troops command the commander for the ukraine. the russian commander for ukraine has said it very difficult. authorities have started to, they call it evacuate people from these areas, but there is the suspicion that these might be forced movement that you might be dissertations. we don't have any definite information on that. and british
10:16 am
intelligence assume that russia might be retreating from the city of guess on this would be of course, a major development on being the only administrative center that russia has been able to capture in the beginning of the war. i think the next days would bring very interesting you there. at the same time, you listened into the german chancellor policy space just earlier with me. is it disappointing from where your standing to hear that the you does have the funds to fight its energy crisis. the germany does continue to support ukraine, but doesn't have anything concrete to, to promise the ukrainians in, in this urgent time of need basically shows has reiterated what he has been saying and doing before has listed all the things he has done in the past. there was a new, specific announcement of training that,
10:17 am
that was from this week training of ukrainian soldiers in the u. but overall, he's not made any announcements. now, i think the good thing is that governments have ways to talk to each other besides public speeches, and that the more important information will be conveyed in bilateral speeches. so we do not know with anything is in the major making, but for now shows has really not announced anything. there's really nothing new in the speech with concerns to the support of ukraine militarily or financially that germany will continue. but new amount announcements. mathias, how urgent would you say that you need help and need more help right now as far as things go on the battlefield, where they want for one thing that the issue of the tank so that ukraine ones, modern western tanks to that would be used in these advances as in sun,
10:18 am
as we've been talking about. but what the past 2 weeks with these massive attacks on infrastructure have shown is that ukraine needs better defense. germany has started delivering 10 systems to ukraine. the iris d is considered one of the most. yvonne systems that can hit the plane, rockets, etc, but with these new drone, there are also other needs. now the drones, they fly lower, they're harder to catch, they can fly the exact harder to be spotted by raiders, etc, etc. and there are assistance with that, and german manufacturing factor is producing these, these kinds of systems. they also others swedish, south korean, israeli, when you're in. but this is certainly something that you would want from germany that probably folks would go on about. we have heard nothing about it. we've just heard from sources that this is something that you can wishes to have. but it might
10:19 am
be easier for germany to make a move on that than on the tongues which seem to carry a very symbolic meaning for shows. and for the s p d in, in the government, german battle times against russian tongues. this is not the same case for ad defenses, so let's watch what will come out of these talks and also the question on how quickly these can be produced. the german military industry hasn't been very productive, hasn't been outputting a lot in the past 30 years because demand was that high. so it might also take some time for any system to be delivered. he w mathias, boating in keep following the war and ukraine. thank you. very much and it will bring you more on the war ukraine later today. also, it will be following that e u summit,
10:20 am
which the german chancellor is off to it. first of all, let's take a look at british politics because just when you thought it couldn't get more exciting or more verbal, it's now become more physical. a chaotic votes in parliament has prompted allegations of bullying and man handling and came just hours after another minister packed her bags. the hotline interior minister stepped down saying she had concerns about the direction of the government. prime minister, his trust sacked her finance minister last friday following a major, you turn on a new tax policy. it's all raising questions about how long trust can survive in the job. prime minister leads trust is government is on the brink. after dave chaos and confusion at the house of commons. mrs. vega, i have been very clear. ah, i am sorry. i had made mistakes. the leader of the opposition mocked her
10:21 am
apology. and what's the prime minister's response to say she sorry. what does she think people will think, i'm say, that's all right. i don't mind financial ruin. at least she apologized, but the prime minister is determined that she will not resign. miss baker? i am a fighter. and nora this did little to convince even her own lawmakers who were among those heckling the prime minister. ah, another blow came when swallow braverman was forced to resign as the u. k. herm secretary over a breach of ministerial code. she did so with a searing attack on trust in her parting shot braverman said the government had broken key promises. replacing her as the new home secretary is grant shops and
10:22 am
arch critic of her cabinet and a close ally of trust is defeated leadership, rivalry. she threw knock. this is the 2nd major upheaval in the cabinet in a wake. confusion later erupted during a parliamentary vote when it was unclear how conservative and pays were expected to cost that ballot. opposition lawmakers said they so conservative and pays, forcing their colleagues to vote in line with the government. i saw members being physically manhandled into another. i'm being bullied for the government, won the vote, but trust is rapidly losing support within her own ranks. and there are room is, this is absolutely grace is, is tory emp? if 17 years he's never been a minister, he's got on with it loyally. most of the time, i think it's a shambles and a disgrace. i think it is utterly appalling. after
10:23 am
a day of body blows to the prime minister's authority, it's unclear how long her government will survive. well, it seems like they'll have to put in a revolving door down at 10 downing street. let's go over to our london correspond farragut massey's following the story. just explained a bit of the chaos into vision for us among the tories there throughout, while viewers. well, the big question is, how did it come to this? how, why is this tory party that's traditionally the party of government in the u. k. that's been traditionally been seen as a party that has economic competence. how is it that there and such at a k as and i think there different ways to answer that question. one would be with a more short term view. so a few weeks ago the government unveiled a budget and many budget and, and that was seen as a, as not a good move. so they, ah, had their whole program was about an aggressive tax cuts,
10:24 am
but they didn't explain how they would fund these tax cuts in the time of crisis and where the government and also the people's pockets are really stretched. so that said, the markets are into tar mile and that really dented. and while the, the, the idea that occurred or is to have economic competence because it was quite unprecedented . the reason behind it, i think, was that present government didn't have a higher regard of institutions. they did not listen to people who were warning that this might happen. that if they unveiled a budget like this, that there would be chaos and confusion that the markets would not understand. so they didn't listen to the experts and their disregarded institutions that were warning done. and this is also, i think, where the long view is interesting. so the conservative party, since breaks it has seen on a strand of,
10:25 am
of libertarians who are very suspicious of institutions such as the institutions have them in a way regain the upper hand. but that's only a strand of the conservative party. and as a result, the part is very, very deeply divided and this trust doesn't really have the authority over the whole parliamentary party or burger, what's going to be next? because our, it sounds like a huge portion of incompetence to our, to clear up here. but or how much longer do you think liz trust will be able to hang on to her job? there are not that many parliamentarians and even cabinet ministers left who wants to defend less trust and who are confident that she will lead the party into the next general election in the polls. they are facing absolute oblivion. and this was before yesterday's. how my position labor parties about 30 points ahead. so it
10:26 am
looks really, really dire. so the conservative party looking who could be following and just trust them at the moment is, is proving difficult. there isn't a uni candidate unity candidate as yet. but as soon as they find someone, i think less stress days are numbered. being about in london. thank you very much for bringing us up to date on the these exciting times of british politics. latha has just released stunning you images of a cosmic phenomenon known as the pillars of creation. the image was shot by the james web telescope that was launched into space last year. it shows towering mountains of dust and gas in the eagle nebula, which is an incubator for you. stars in the milky white that are below is some 6500 light years from earth. a quick reminder of the story way following for you to day here on t w, use german chance the olaf sholtes is given
