ah ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin. an imperialist war of aggression, germany is transfer. all of schoultz chastises vladimir putin in the address to parliament. sholtes says russia will not achieve its war aims in ukraine. also coming up, keith tells ukrainians to curb their power usage as russia steps up, strikes on energy infrastructure. with winter approaching,

people are being asked to switch off power for much of the day. and britain's prime minister is trust faces enormous pressure to step down. after the departure of a 2nd cabinet minister, there are reports of m. p 's being physically bullied into supporting the government. some conservative say, trust has just hours left in office plus new hopes for an end to the 2 year conflict in t g. ride as ethiopians government analysis piece talks will take place in south africa next week. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. german chancellor love schultz has voice skepticism over a proposal to cap gas prices in the e. u. he was speaking during a key policy statement to parlor ahead of

a brussel summit where you leaders are seeking consensus on energy security. clouds said a gas price cap out can only work if it's backed up by non u partners such as japan and south korea. but he emphasized western unity in the face of what he called an imperialist war of aggression, and promised unwavering support by for ukraine in the war. that mortality. here's a bit of what a chancel sholtes had to say. okay, in hooton's ward again to crane and own of the free will will fail from things really it already has enough don't train of germany and europe. ha, that on the old remains strength and from these hes more united i've and more independent. and then before our political course, while it, nina hossa was following the chancellor's speech. in the bonus tag, i asked her what we learned from shelters address. well, if anybody expected news coming out of their speech his a day, they were mistaken. but all i've heard seized of the half an hour or so that he

spoke to parliament, to reiterate just why germany needs to stand by ukraine side unconditionally, for as long as it takes. those are his words. he as said that the russians attacked the deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure on the civilian population in cities like eve, and live that they amount to war crimes. and he said that this is something that is not going to go away any time soon, but that the west does stand united. so this was a very clear message from the german chancellor to ukraine. you can trust, as we will stand by your side, even though we know, and we are beginning to feel that as this current aggression by russia is having implications on our lives. but we are willing to make some sacrifices. he talked at length about energy security. you said that germany was well prepared for this coming winter, that it had made that transition from being almost completely dependent on russian

gas to and for example, extending the use of coal power, but also building l n. g infrastructure terminals. so he said, and that was also interesting, and we were dependent on russia. we are no longer, but we will need this transition period to get away from it. you know, as you know, ukraine desperately wants more weapons to help defend itself against the russian aggression to shots. good a, give any indication that germany is now prepared to send more weapons to ukraine. well, it shows a somebody who doesn't publicly talk about things that are being negotiated behind closed doors. he's not a politician who tries to win vote as over by making promises that he is not a 100 percent sure that he can fulfill them. so this is not a surprise or left charts will only announce new weapons deliveries as soon as he's got the 100 percent support from everybody involved. and so i can't rule out that

this is currently going on behind closed doors, but this was not the opportunity for him to to announce anything new. this was a traditional speech before the council where of course, lots of topics are on the agenda. but he also reiterated again, just what germany has been delivering to ukraine on the stress, the fact that germany has sent the advent system iris t that is helping ukraine and shoot down rockets that are coming from russia. can you know, in his speech, she said that a proposal in the e u to cap gas prices would only work if non you countries were to support her. that's going to be a big topic of that usama coming up in brussels. or is it clear that countries like south korea and japan and countries that sholtes mentioned in the speech, are they willing to support apprised cap on deaths? well, germany currently has the g 7 at presidency. so all i've saw is can use this platform

as well. so the platform of economies, the strongest economies, and strongest democracy's world wide to try and influence the asian partners. because all i've towards his argument is it is no use to implement a price gap on a gas for europe. because then the ships that deliver gas will simply turn away from europe and they will go to where prices are higher and that could be in the asian markets. he says he does need the support from asian countries as well, who are also struggling with high energy cries on. need to thank you very much. our political correspondent, nina has of there will chantry chancellor sholtes. his policy statement comes ahead of a key meeting of you leaders starting in brussels later today, the energy crisis and a looming recession or just to the challenges facing the ear. the war and ukraine has driven up energy costs, and there's fear that public support for ukraine could. wayne winter bytes. you leaders will be looking at ways of cutting energy costs for consumers. the w's test

cloud bother found out more. 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 the next meeting here in brussels. the fast proposal on the table is joined purchasing, but this motto, 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 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 or they have less incentives with a lower price to, to do so. the 3rd proposal is a solidarity mechanism. with 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 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, mike had prices that passes that on to consumers at a lower cost and paste 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 on securing energy supplies for next winter. ukrainians are being told to switch off their electricity from 7 this morning to 11 this evening. that'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. the 8 month war has met getting used to life without power, heat and running water. preparing dinner in a makeshift outdoor kitchen. 9 year old autumn and his grandma arena hurried to get

dinner ready before the setting. sun plunges the home into cold and darkness. seeing a horde you it's really cold. yeah. like yes, yes, i am sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now. li, issue rushing strikes have cut off utilities in cities and towns across ukraine, and many residents here in the hockey region. we have been living without gas, water, or electricity for weeks down to push. the kids 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 there any way? don't care for many people bundling up at night and cooking outdoors is a matter of survival growth. the situation is like this is no electricity,

no water, no gas, we're cold, you can see we're building fires. and tom lives with his mother. she's disabled. it is totally dependent on her son's help to you. it's a brother, so it's really cold. now, if it weren't for myself, only i would freeze. i should be on the homes of residents living in villages like these in the half he 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 art him and his grandmother can only prepare for what will likely be a very harsh ukrainian winter. earlier i spoke with her correspond mathias

bellinger in chief. i asked him what the ukrainian government was saying about the blackouts and electricity rationing. you know, the government has asked people to cut down on energy use. it has not asked people to cut completely but cut down on energy use today to see whether this can work. it's clear that the grid is that there's too much pressure on the grid and not enough energies. produce electricity with 30 percent of the facilities are destroyed or out of function right now that produce and also parts of the grid for the country needs to cut down on energy use. today is a test run whether this can be done voluntarily, or whether the government will have to resort to what we've seen last week when parts of the city and here was shut off for several hours. there was a scheme, so the entire residential areas are being cut off in order to

ease pressure on the grid. what's the latest from the battlefield? but she is. we've been hearing all week that things appear to be coming to a head in the southern castle region. that's exactly what most observe is make out of the situation. we've seen these announcements by the command us where we can command the russian troops in ukraine who has warned about difficult at times that had difficult decisions to be made. this is read by many observers as an announcement of possibly a retreat from these areas, or the expectation that the russians would expect a ukraine to attack massively on these areas. there's also a warning that russia could maybe try to blow up the dam on the nip in an over her hope that it was would flood the 50 hour day something in the making. man. that's

for sure. i'm on the russians have tried. i'll have a known evacuation of people which many he appear might be a force displacement, deportations of people possibly into russia. we've seen this in other areas, so a lot of things going on there, but we don't have the full picture yet. when he has thank you very much that update our correspond mathias putting that in the ukranian capital key. ukraine's forces say they are pushing closer towards the city of cas on the russian president, vladimir putin announced martial law on wednesday in shelves on and 3 other regions and ukraine's south and east that have been illegally annexed by moscow. kremlin appointed authorities say they're moving tens of thousands of civilians out of the region, but it's not clear how many are leaving voluntarily. these images purportedly shows civilians crossing the strategically important, denise progress. more of this return to our corresponding killian bio. he

joins us from the latvian capital reagan as d w. moscow bureau was closed earlier this year. so callian, russia has declared martial law in its illegally annexed ukrainian territories. what does this mean for the situation on the ground? well, it really enables the russian authorities or the authorities that are in controlled in the russian occupied areas of crimea to inhibit the freedom of movement. i think that is a one of the big one of the big things. it also allows them to detain people for up to 30 days and to confiscate and buildings to confiscate cars. they can also search telephones, they can intercept communications and they can relocate people, they can move people according to this martial law. now, these are all things that russia could have done in any way, but now they are creating a kind of legal basis, at least in the russian legal system. in regards to international law,

it is of course, completely illegal to move citizens from an annex territory or from the captured city. why are they doing this in her son? well, her son is strategically for the russians on the wrong side of the river. the russian army is trying to secure the city whole, the city from attacking ukrainian forces and in the city you have hundreds of thousands of civilians. now the only way they can supply these troops is through pont, on ferries, and air and boats. and so of course, this is a natural bottleneck for supplying troops if they can get the civilians out of there and of course eases the pressure on this bottleneck. so i think this is one of the things that they are implementing with this martial law. ok, this martial law declared in a decree, it's not the only one that putin has passed. apparently there is another one that affects the rest of russia along with occupied crimea. tell us more about that one . well, there's kind of

a martial law light and going on in russia, i would say, and it's set up in different tiers. so the closer you are to the fighting the, the stronger the marshal law is that you have there than when you get to the center of central region of russia around moscow. it's a bit less and when you get to the far east it's, it's, it's even less what can i do, especially on the areas that next to ukraine next to the fighting like bo garad. it enables the russian authorities to do basically the same thing. they can, they can confiscate cars, they can attain people, and they can search people, they can intercept communications and it's been kind of portrayed as the instruments that are being given to the local authorities instruments that they need to react. but this is the official narrative from the criminal, but i think in reality what they're trying to do is they're trying to create the opportunities to tighten the thumbscrews down if they would need to come in. thank

you so much, dw kelly, and by other enrica to catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world. today. a new law tackling the legacy of spain's fascist dictatorship, has entered into force in knolls convictions for political or religious beliefs as well as for sexual orientation, and also promotes the search for victims buried in mass graves. over a 100000 people disappeared during spain civil war and dictatorship from 1936 to 970 pod for ruins. president petro castillo, has asked the organization of american states to help preserve the country's democracy. after what he calls and attempted to. last week, the attorney general filed a constitutional complaint, accusing costeo of corruption and criminal activity. the aos plans to consider the issue on thursday. brazil's far i president,

minister stepped down saying she had concerns about the direction of the government responsible, final, more pressure on the prime minister raising questions about how long lose trust can survive in the job are corresponded, bigot mass is in london. following all this bigot britton's conservatives elected trust as their new leader hoping to get a fresh start and now they're tearing themselves apart. why are they so divided? yes, it seems of absolute chaos here in london in the parliament. and it really shows the division of the conservative party. so it's broadly split into factions. one are the centrist r, m p's, the pro institutional m p's, and they are broadly are the also the pro european. then we're seeing another factor. and those are the libertarian m. p 's, the ones that made sure that the u. k. would leave the european union with just a babel and tray deal in place. really,

the hardest breaks it possible. this is the wing also that's a list trust belongs to even though she was a, remain over to you as somebody who lobbied aggressively for tex carts and for a small state that brought chaos when she and her government, i'm had a budget just a few weeks ago was completely crashed the financial markets she's. she is on the fire from the conservative moderates who are really saying that she has no authority, no economic competence. and they really want to see her go. the prime minister is being slammed left, right, and center. what can we expect to happen with her period? every hour is another mystery. terry. and we know now that sarah graham brady, who was an inferential, our bet venture. her has, he has been seen to go into down the street that's normally read as a sign that he would discuss with her the way that she can go,

or the way that she could make way for another prime minister. this is obviously not confirmed. so we really sort of baiting our breath and we're seeing her watching the dimmer development here you're quite close the to day could be a really another big day in british politics. if lose truss is allister. where would the government go from here? or are there any obvious candidates to replace her? this is really it's at the moment. i think there are not many conservative empties left to actually defending las charles. but it's not clear in what way she could ah, have another prime minister, follow her. they m p 's are trying to find a candid, a unity candidate, somebody with economic competence. the former chancellor ration soon on his name was mentioned, but at the moment is not clear. we even want to take over this challenge because we've really seen that is a very, very difficult job with a party divided as it is. good. thank you very much. our corresponded big mouse there in london. the government in ethiopia says
