up an imperialist war of aggression, germany's chancellor of shoals slams vladimir putin and says, brush will not achieve its war aims and ukraine. in an address to con ed keith tells ukrainians to curb their power usage as russia steps up, strikes on energy facilities with winter approaching, people are being asked to switch all power for much of the day. ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. british prime minister, lose trust has resigned after just 6 weeks in office. her announcement comes after a bruising week of you turns on. economic and energy policy and backlash from our own conservative party. in a short speech outside downing street trust said she can no longer deliver on the
3:02 pm
mandate for which she was elected. i came into office at the time of great economic and international instability, families and businesses were worried about how to pay that bills. putin's illegal war and ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent. and all countries have been held back for too long by low economic growth. i was elected by the conservative party with a mandate to change this. i recognized though, given the situation, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. or correspond, bigot mass is standing by force in london. bergan list truss has announced her resignation after just 45 days in office as prime minister. how did it come to this?
3:03 pm
a very short stem follows trust in downing street just behind me and very, very dramatically. she has said that she is going to desire to resign to office. we are experiencing really the implosion of the conservative party as we have known it . she is the 2nd prime minister this year. and she, somebody who wasn't elected. she had to, she was basically the replacement of morris johnson who disgracefully had to resign and now she does not command the authority of her party any more. basically, there are deep divisions within the conservative party. this trust lost the authority because she wasn't able to get her budget through that was her whole plan . she stood for quite aggressive tax cards. those have spooked the markets and created cat chaos on the financial markets. and that really, ah,
3:04 pm
brought things on it and brought it into rolling. so she was not able basically to, to have the respect, offer own m p 's and saw no other option as to resign. so her policies obviously didn't go down well, but britain's conservative themselves have been tearing themselves apart. why are they so divided? yes, really they have and traditionally they all seen as the polity of government. they are seen as the party of economic competence. this is what they have been priding themselves in, but we have seen over the last decades that something was eroding the conservative party from within. and that was the issue of europe. it as divided the party between a madrid sort of centrist and broadly pro european wing and another wing which was more libertarian. and those people made sure that the u. k. left the you on on
3:05 pm
really the, the, the strongest and hardest of breaks it with just a free trade agreement and that, but really bad bane and it's these people that are the moderates, are fighting this trust to somebody who comes from the libertarian small state wing of the party, and now she's been ousted by m p. 's mostly by the moderate m. p. 's. but even people to the right of the party. and she had lost that trust to so where does this leave british politics bear good, what. what happens next? good question. this trust a state that has said that she was saying office until a successor is found and that should happen rather quickly. however, we are already seeing the opposition, the liberal democrats and labor. they are demanding that there should be a general election because this trust herself was not elected by the british people . and in a situation like this where there is an economic crisis,
3:06 pm
like other countries, the u. k. is facing high inflation. it's facing high energy crisis. prices and that it is a very tough situation for a lot of people, a lot of people can't afford to eat to heat their homes. they're really are on the bread line and they're in dire straits. so labor and the liberal democrats are demanding that when the country is in such a tricky situation economically, that the good people should have a choice as to which party now, at least the country hopefully out of the crisis soon, or any idea baggett who might take over from liz trust, a conservative party leader in prime minister. well, so far we have only heard from people who have said they are not going to take over jeremy. hon 2 is the newly appointed chance law has excluded himself. the hope was in the last days that the conservative m. p. 's could find a candidates who they can unite beyond even the team that they can unite behind.
3:07 pm
but as we're seeing with such a divided party as for it's proved very, very tricky. and so far, no name that m p 's can unite jain has emerged. very good. thank you so much for now. that was our corresponded burger mos in london. well, german chancellor, earl of schultz, has given a key policy statement to parliament ahead of a summit of you leaders in brussels starting a little while from now. the address touched on challenges facing germany and europe in light of the war in ukraine. but while schultz voiced germany's unwavering commitment to key, if some say the government could be doing more when all our sholtes took center stage and the bonus tag, he spoke in front of the german parliament. but his message was directed towards a wider audience. but worcester anglophile of deliberate attacks against civilians, a war crimes, almost glass,
3:08 pm
was that even this scorched earth tactic won't help russia when the war that missed her from din creeks were 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 upon 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 was quiet. i'm inspired and an 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 by
3:09 pm
chance also addressed the global consequences of the russian war against ukraine. that's reliable partners in europe and elsewhere have shown a lot of solidarity. he said and have helped germany overcome its reliance on russian gas furnace. anti want other nations around the world need help averting a hunger crisis. this is jennifer target when, 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, then 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 challenges shots i that he was more certain than ever that putins war against ukraine and the entire free world will fail. chantelle schultz is policy statement this morning, comes ahead of a key meeting of you leaders starting in brussels later today. the energy crisis
3:10 pm
and a looming recession are just 2 of the challenges facing the ear. the war and ukraine is driven up energy costs, and there's fear the public support for ukraine could wayne as winter bytes. you leaders will be looking at ways of cutting energy costs for consumers. the w as test clara balter, found out more skyrocketing prices, the 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 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
3:11 pm
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. 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,
3:12 pm
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. that 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 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. let's securing energy supplies the next winter more. let's go to our correspond. barbara basal, she's at that you summit for us in brussels. barbara, from your perspective, how united is the e u. when it comes to dealing with this energy crisis. not united at all. that
3:13 pm
is the sorry answer. i'll have to give you on that because it's still 15 to 12. the european union is still divided between those 15 countries, among them, france, spain, italy, and some others, particularly smaller countries who do want a gas price, a cap, who say, if we gang together as a european union, our market power is such that we can more or less dictate lower prices, and it's the other group are led by germany and the netherlands, and particularly say that is nonsense. it's not going to work because then the suppliers of gas will just take the scarce commodity to other parts of the world. we're talking about energy that could be shipped to pretty much anywhere asia or where else. so this is the position that seems quite intrenched and there has not been any real movement throughout the last 2 weeks when the leaders in last met in prague. the problem is, and that is what some say behind the scenes that the german consensus making
3:14 pm
machine that was the sort of functioning was the former driven government. it seems not to be working any more. and there has simply not been any outreach really to bring those positions to get the the e commission is trying its best, but so far it just flailing around. ok, so you say you've got to to camp sir. 15 versus 12 as it were up. what are the prospects for you leaders finding common ground on how to deal with the energy crisis after some it seems to me that the pain is not yet strong enough, not urgent enough. let's talk again at christmas. things might look very different . you know, we've had very mild weather so far, all throughout europe. so consumers have really felt in the, the prices byte so much yet. and so far it, governments haven't felt at the massive discontent except for france off those consumers are on the political level. so things might change very rapidly come
3:15 pm
november and december. when all this gets more urgent, they do know the leaders that they have to get together on this. it's ridiculous, it seems like unnecessary drama, but they're not ready yet to make concessions. so the way, till that point seems quite long. however, we have heard that this summit might go on through all the night. they're ready to fight at this big table here in the building. and it might even get to go all throughout the day tomorrow. so yes, they're engaging, but they're not really at the point yet where they've could get together. now barbara, as you know, germany has come in for criticism for its massive spending in order to try to cushion consumers in companies from rising prices. they say other european countries that that shows lack of solidarity. how is chancellor shoals likely to respond at this to this, at the summit? barbara, he is already responded to that when, when walking in here at the so called arrivals. and he has said one more time,
3:16 pm
as he has said before in berlin m. this is the unfair criticism because germany is doing nothing else but the other than the other countries are doing. every one tries to help of their citizens, the packages that france, for instance, and spain. 2 of the good countries have announced our, our managing a, our, if you look at it more closely, exactly the same as in germany. the problem here is one of communication. berlin went out and said, we have a double whammy. we have a big bazooka of 200000000000, and that was something that didn't go down. well, was the rest of the you barbara, thank you so much. our course by barbara visa there in brussels bill to ukraine, where people 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,
3:17 pm
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 arena a hurrying to get dinner ready before the setting. sun plunges their home into cold and darkness. she knew horgan. it's really cold. he and like guess she's, i'm sleeping in my clothes in my apartment now. lee, the show 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, or electricity for weeks down. i think it move is enough. will you have 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
3:18 pm
warmer, their e, my don't care for many people bundling up at night and cooking outdoors is a matter of survival. go through the situations like this. 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 do it's abroad. so it's really cold. now, if it weren't for myself, only i would freeze. got, you know, the homes of residents living in villages like these in the huff 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.
3:19 pm
people like autumn and his grandmother can only prepare for what will likely be a very harsh ukrainian winter shore. while ago i spoke with a to bonham, clim pushed and sawed, say, she's a member of ukraine's parliament and chairs the committee on integrating ukraine into the you. i asked her about russia's assault on ukraine's energy infrastructure and the challenge it poses with winter approaching. well, definitely it is creating a plot problem and challenges for many communities in many, many families. and we are grateful to the mobilization of all of our emergency services and our energy experts that are capably repairing the, the grades and capably are repairing our capacity to provide for electricity. and thus having also water supply and so on. but that's definitely not enough in russia
3:20 pm
will not be cutting on. it's an 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 capacities for ration of the loss abilities is also a priority for us. now the ukranian army continues to push towards a song in the south. what can you tell us about the situation there at the front? well, how are we are grateful to the resolve of the crating and armed forces that have been that have been, are making possible to liberate some of our territories in the how to give region in the yes, the region in lance creation. and now in here saw the beach,
3:21 pm
but we also see that russian federation, when it did, failing to counteract in this counter if any encounter offensive is getting to to those instrument that could be applied as genocide because they are forcefully deporting people from the south 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 an armed forces. so slowly it is we're getting there. i understand there's 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,
3:22 pm
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 analysts that has been giving, it's very, very, could 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, 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
3:23 pm
to ask you about that. more specifically german chancellor of shoulds this morning, david, an address to parliament 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 in the flying. i will defensive weaponry with air defense as well. but unfortunately, this is still not enough for us to be capably securing our civilians and a to actually conduct a serious counter attention to the great, our charities. i'm very saddened by the fact that the father is and this is circle that is not breakable. somehow, for example, with providing you with tax and,
3:24 pm
and german, you can leave this effort with liberty tanks among other countries. 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. ivana, clint pushed inside the 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. the cut, her football world cup starts one month from today. despite france being the defending champions many in france or boar, cowboy, calling the aback because of covers human rights record. cities, such as bordeaux have decided there will be no public doings. public viewings and the goals celebrations that go with them have become something of a woke up fixture. but they won't be happening this year in many french cities, including bordeaux, which is boycotting the world cup competition reconstruction. did you feel stud and

3:26 pm
only print or poor. think every person she be able to choose whether to watch or not. and for them to have that choice, someone has dish, or the games that govern this this, he will walk in this part, they are exploring a compromise. during the games, money will be collected for amnesty and greenpeace. but will the person in charge of the city watch the games at home? no. surely surely. oh, shouldn't god you? i certainly won't watch the game, so i have to be true to my so havoc more men. the friends cities have announced that they will stick to their boycott, even if the french team gets the final in cotton. you're watching dw news from berlin. just reminder of our top story, british prime minister list trust, has resigned after just 6 weeks and all this announcement comes after bruising week of you turns on. economic and energy policy and backlash from her own conservative party speaking outside downing street trust that she can no longer deliver on the
