switch all power for much of the day. britain's prime minister liz 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 se trust has just hours left in office . ah hello m terry martin. thanks for joining us. german chancellor, all of sholtes has given a key policy statement to parliament ahead of a summit of ear leaders in brussels. that's about to start in just a few minutes. the address touches on challenges facing germany and europe in light up the war in ukraine. but while sholtes voiced germany's unwavering commitment to key, if some say the government could be doing more when all of all it took center stage
2:02 pm
and the bonus tag, he spoke in front of the german parliament. but his message was directed toward a wider audience. but worcester anglophone of deliberate attacks against civilians, a war crimes on was glass, was that even this scorched earth tactic won't help russia when the war that missed her from the intrigue should given. it will only strengthen the resolve and perseverance of ukraine and his partners. ukraine will successfully defend himself and will support it as long as necessary, afforded a message. a majority of parliamentarians in the bonus tag agree with in fact, many here, belief germany should do even more. of course, 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 or scratch, i'm inspired and,
2:03 pm
and emotional. we could do more and we should deliver concrete answers. i'm quite confident that are, that ukraine is receiving a lot of, of our weapons or that of our, of much use. but of course, main battle tanks, for example, have not been delivered yet, and i would be strongly supportive of this idea. the bar shows also addressed the global consequences of the russian war against ukraine. that's a reliable partner in europe and elsewhere have shown a lot of solidarity, he said. and if help germany overcome its reliance on russian guess anti want other nations around the world need help averting a hanger crisis assistant of cargo when it's a question of humanity. but also of our credibility, and if we want the countries of africa, asia, and latin america and the caribbean, to continue to support us in defending international law against attacks like russia's higher than it's only just that. we also take their concerns about dealing with the consequences of the russian war he seriously in spite of all these
2:04 pm
challenges shots, i that he was more certain than ever that put in swore against ukraine and the entire free world will fail. our political correspondent, neither has i was following the chancellor speech in the bonus tag this morning. i asked her what we learned from shelters address. well, if anybody expect it news coming out of their speech, his a day, they were mistaken. but all i've heard seized as 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 attacks 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,
2:05 pm
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. d infrastructure terminals. so he said, and that was also interesting, as 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 shortcut a give any indication that germany is now prepared to send more weapons to ukraine . well, all of so it's
2:06 pm
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. 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 gemini 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. those are political correspondent, nina hossa. they're speaking to us from the bonus tart, well,
2:07 pm
chancellor shelters policy statement comes ahead of a key meeting of you leaders starting in brussels as nina mentioned, the energy crisis and a looming recession are just 2 of the challenges facing the e u. the war and ukraine has driven up energy costs, and there's fear that public support for ukraine could weigh in as winter bites. do you leaders will be looking at ways of cutting energy costs for consumers. dw tessa . clara auditor found out more skyrocketing prices for gas and o 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 that 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
2:08 pm
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, or has the risk bad. suppliers will not deliver enough gas to european states because 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
2:09 pm
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 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 and a lower cost and paste the difference itself. this ease of suppression, households that drives up demand and could create supply issues. put these propositions on the table. you lead us now have to come to an agreement on how to do prices. what securing energy supplies for next winter. now to ukraine itself, where people are being told to switch off their electricity from 7 this morning to 11 this evening. that's a response to russia's widening,
2:10 pm
strike against energy facilities. national grid operator, so as the curb is limited to thursday, but more restrictions of blackouts may be needed with winter approaching for many ukrainians. the 8 month war has meant getting used to life without power, heat and running water. preparing dinner in a make shift, outdoor kitchen 9 year old autumn and his grandma rena. hurry it and to get dinner ready before the setting, sun plunges their home into cold and darkness. seeing a horde you it's rainy. cold, young my guess is i'm sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now. li, issue. russian strikes have cut off utilities and cities and towns across ukraine, and many residents here in the hockey region. we have been living without gas water for electricity for weeks down. i don't think it moved this enough. what did you
2:11 pm
have 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. who do it's abroad, so it's really cold. now, if it wasn't for myself only i would freeze. i should in the homes of residents, living in villages like these in the hot heat region have been thrust into a pre industrial era with no modern comforts authorities. the trying to reassure
2:12 pm
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 for more that speak to yvonne accomplished and sod says she's a member of ukraine's parliament where she chairs the committee on integrating ukraine into the e. u. thank you very much ring with us today. well, russia has been targeting for having me bride. so russia has been targeting water and energy facilities across ukraine, causing severe disruptions. how much of a problem is this for your country with winter approaching? well, definitely it is creating a problem and challenges for many communities in many, many families. and we are grateful to the mobilization of all of our emergency
2:13 pm
services and our energy experts that are capably repairing the the grids, and it capable, repairing our capacity to provide for electricity and thus having also water supply and so on. but that's definitely not enough in russia will not be cutting on. it's attempt to, to set down the country as a whole and to get us out from our apartments, from our homes and from, from the country basically. so therefore we need right now to additional assistance in terms of a securing our home with air defense with that to rocket defense, but also some of the capacitive ration of the loss. hip abilities is also a priority for us. now the ukranian army continues to push towards hassan in the south. what can you tell us about the situation there at the front?
2:14 pm
well, we are grateful to the resolve of the ukrainian armed forces that have been that i have been making possible to liberate some of our territories in the hot give region in the den. yes, lead region in low hon screech. and then now in saw the beach, but we also see that russian federation, when it did, failing to counteract and this counter ukrainian counter offensive is getting to to those instruments that could be applied as genocide because they are forcibly reporting people from the headphone region. they are forcefully separating kids from their parents and bringing them to the russian federation and so on. and we believe that this process will not stop unless these areas will be liberated by screening armed forces. so slowly it is, we're getting there. understand there's
2:15 pm
a bit of a news blackout concerning the what the, what the army is doing down there right now. so it's difficult to give detail information, but let's talk about another of this war and that is iran. iran is believed to be supplying rusher with attack drones, which are being used with devastating effect. um, how concerning is this for you? while we see that iran has actually joined this war as a co aggressor together with the russian federation and together with bill, that was, that has been giving it's very, very, to be used for launching attacks on your own ukraine, on our state. so i think it's very important to that much more. my stronger response will be given by the west also to to this action. so by it on i think we have all knee arguments infects already on the ground that these are iranian zones. and unfortunately,
2:16 pm
we are less prepared with our anti drone system to, to pound to them. so whoever can help us with, with any capability that would be something that is urgently needed that i wanted to ask you about that. more specifically german chancellor of sholtes this morning . david an address to parliamentary again promised unwavering support for ukraine to questions. do you think germany is doing enough to help your country and what does ukraine need most from its partners in general? right, though, while we are grateful for all the changes that germany has made in its policy, in order to actually help you. great. and you've gone a long way from, from 23rd of february to angela and applying i live defensive weaponry with the air defense as well. but unfortunately, this is still not enough for us to be capably securing our civilians. and you
2:17 pm
know, it's, you actually conduct a serious counter attended to the great our terraces. i am very saddened by the fact that the father is, and this is circle, that is, that is not breakable somehow. for example, with dividing ratings with tax and, and germany can leave this effort with liberties, ad tags, among other counsel, for example. so far it's still not the decided issue. so there are many things that can be done right now for this war to be solved and for the aggressor to be defeated. her event clim pushed and sancha ukrainian, m p, and chair of the parliamentary committee on integration of ukraine into the e. u. thank you. very much for talking with us. thank you. well, ukraine's forces say they're pushing closer towards the city of chaos on russian president vladimir putin announced marshal law on wednesday, in that area. and 3 other regions in ukraine, south and east, have been that had been illegally annexed by moscow,
2:18 pm
kremlin appointed authorities. there say they're moving tens of thousands of civilians out of the region, but it is not clear how many are leaving voluntarily. these images purportedly show civilians crossing the strategically important to new for river t w's. killian buyer is covering russia for us from the latin in capital riga. russia shut down w moscow bureau. earlier this year, i asked him what vladimir putin declaration of martial law means for the household region. 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 as 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 buildings to confiscate cars. they can also search telephones, they can intercept communications and they can relocate people. they can move
2:19 pm
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 harrison? well, hassan 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 your training 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, and boats. and so of course, this is the natural bottleneck for supplying troops if they can get the civilians out of there and of course eases and the pressure on this bottleneck. so i think this is a, one of the things that they are implementing with this martial law. ok,
2:20 pm
this martial law declared in a decree, it's not the only one that putin has passed. apparently there's 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 it do, especially on the areas there next to ukraine, next to the fighting like belgrade. 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
2:21 pm
instruments that are being given to the local authorities instruments that they need to react. but, and this is the official narrative from the kremlin, 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 can. and thank you so much. t w's, killian by other enrica now to london, where you k prime minister least trust is clinging to power as her government alls deeper into disarray after another tumultuous day. a chaotic vote in parliament prompted allegations of bullying and manhandling and came just hours after. another minister packed her bags the hard line, interior minister to wait. a brother, monk stepped down saying she had concerns about the direction of the government. small nicole, it's found more pressure on the prime minister using questions about how long she can survive in the job are correspond bergen mass in london told me why the
2:22 pm
tories are so divided. yes, it vaccines of absolute chaos here in london in the parliament. and it really shows the division of the conservative party. so it's group the split into factions. one are the centrist, our m p 's, the pro institutional, and piece. and they are broadly or they're also the pro european. then we're seeing another fact and, 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 bab own tray deal in place. really, the hardest breaks if possible. this is the wing also. that's our list trust belongs to even though she was a remain of it. she as somebody who lobbied aggressively for tax cuts 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 crash. the financial markets she's, she is on the fire from the conservative moderates who are really saying that she
2:23 pm
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 beer? every hour is another mystery. he, terry? and we know now that sir graham brady, who was an inferential, are back venture. her has he has been seen to go into downy 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 dim at developments here quite close the to day. could be 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
2:24 pm
left to actually defending las charles. but it's not clear in what way she could ah, have another prime minister follow ahead. see them, he's are trying to find a candid or a unit to canada, somebody with economic competence, the former chancellor reach you soon. ok, his name was mentioned, but at the moment is not clear. we even want to take over this jealous 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 bigger mouse there in london. the cutter football world cup starts one month from today, despite france being the defending champions. many in france are boycotting the event because of caught us human rights record. katara and fifo say the country has made huge strides, but sites us cities such as bordeaux have decided there will be no public doings. so public viewings and the goals celebrations that go with them have become

2:26 pm
