cause internal bleeding to interesting. fiona was given 1st aid in the ambulance. now dr. mario beveled is assessing the situation. he spent some time chatting with the young patient to gauge her memory and level of consciousness. a physical is also essential after a full like this. and so can you look over at your mom while i check your ear or mouth wide open? they are really loud. i'm good. good. did you buy your toner? heard it business, whatever your time. no, no, no, well up there. oh, there of it. as a general rule, when a child falls from twice their own height, there is a risk of serious injury. fiona only fell one and a half meters, but for canada to so if you fall awkwardly, when bleeding occurs in the brain and you fall on conscious discipline, director of was close is da since fiona showed absolutely no neurological abnormalities during the examination. that doesn't appear to be the case looking

around one vice, but we don't know what might happen over the next 2448 hours. so we'll keep her here for observation. it's keen, as you fall off, been young was off, could be a symptoms emerge like headaches, vomiting, or your daughter suddenly becomes extremely tired, thinking we'll catch that here. i thought, and just check in with the nurses afterwards. yeah. right. and that's the plant lawn. we're lucky, he put, we monitor her pupils once an hour to begin with, finished english dot. so her mom did the right thing on that because that was a really bad falls on as it was. he wanted the samsung in on just so calling an ambulance is the right thing to do. i think i don't think so. who is a stick that ah, you leaders are wrapping up a summit in brussels focused on tackling the energy crisis. let's listen now to european commission president, an ursula funder line and president of the european council showed michelle at dr

a few elements, just to summarize this discussion, it took more than 3 hours. the aim is not to come up with written and conclusions, but truly to discuss strategy to prepare the next major meeting. and that would be with the, as the ann countries here in brussels in december 1st element, we have taken stock of the fact that the chinese political system does not operate on the long the same rules as we do. we considered that we are a democracy and that is a very pivotal issue. we have human rights, personal rights, freedoms, wearers in china. the point of departure that the state and indeed the party is the determining criterion. so you are operating with a very different matrix, a very different political system. this is an objective,

neutral. oh, way of ascertaining the facts were concerned remotely. oh, we have looked at various believers that we have to be strong and upright and defend the principles that we believe in more strongly fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms. we are committed to introducing. so did more reciprocity remain at economic relations with china and warm europe. this is work that will have to be done across the board in all what topics and it is the orders with. it's closely connected to engaging with china on other subjects. climate change, which is a very obvious and topic. we want to engage with china. and so this discussion showed a very clear will to avoid being naive, but neither did we want to embark her in systematic confrontational have we

have our own model to develop into repealed to model and form our relations with china warner. we have to ensure that we can respond to the way that our program is organized and has it been some time. now. those great consensus and convergence amongst the european leaders on the importance importance of truly developing a strategic autonomy. the capacity to be less dependent in strategic terms, to increase my independence in strategic terms. but also as part of that to reinforce and diversify ad partnerships with the rest of the world. more, we had a summit in february in brussels, with african countries and partners, which was an opportunity to build the foundations for a new relationship and had

a new mutual relationship partner to partner across africa. are we wanting to ensure that we, the leaders can deliver on our promises? we don't want to bring about any disillusionment. there aren't expectations. so we haven't assessed the promises we made how they're implemented and how they're being brought about. well, this is a very strong tool, and it's something that needs regular and political assessment to ensure that the objectives the bruce and our sales are met. and that our partners do again added value from their relations with the european union. latin america. i'm sure you will be aware. next year, under the spanish presidency, there'd be a summit to present would be brussels of, with latin american countries. and we are preparing this semester. there's also be in the window pacific region. and as the end, we'll have the meeting in brussels in december, we need to engage with the rest of the world diversify our partnership. build

strategies to ensure that we are more ending independent. and then this is a link course to we're very dense. the best of discussion that we had one from a in a few hours. it reflects what we discussed in march in their say. this is on the strategies at the european union. we considered the between key pillars that we had to work on in order to reinforce our capacity to influence, to defend our interests and promote our values. the 1st pillar is an energy which said you overlooked about that recently. so we continued to be extremely committed to building up autonomy and sovereignty in this area. because when we are very dependent on, there are causes, there is a price and there are difficulties in energy dependency. so we are trying to deal with that issue. the 2nd element of security and defense. this is a key moment to reinforce you appear in defense,

increased cooperation amongst ourselves to decrease dependence there. and this is when very close of corporation with nato. and we are actively working on declarations on the part of nato and the e u. and then technological leadership would want to look at technologies for the future to there are stakes that are also touched upon by the previous topics. we had a strengths, we have a weakness, is we have to ensure that in terms of technological dependence are we had the tips or act and other abs will to seek to mobilize the resources that we have at our disposal. and we have to encourage innovation, technological development and be ambitious in this area. these are a few elements, a few of the lines of thought that showed the very density of discussions and the fact that a blog directly linked to very good topical current issues in we are in

a phase of geopolitical transition. and it's important that in europe we have clear ideas that we act in concert and movies and really good that is perhaps the best and summary of the very spirit of our discussions of this. you go and the referral affairs and then on to iran. we have a reference to this in the conclusions, it illustrates and values and protection of women. this is very clear. sanctions have been taken against those who are participating in the repression of a peaceful demonstrations. and this is of course, linked to return earth, their support of russia against ukraine. so again, they were in debt discussions that we looked at the situation in ukraine and interventions. we had a virtual intervention from

a present worth zalinski. and we have looked at our support for ukraine. there's a lot of support for it, military, financial, humanitarian and political group. and we have to put on the public pressure against the offending regime. and we also have to look at the freezing of acids assets that have been series and they use for reconstruction and some port often of ukraine. there will be a conference there at the commission and the world food program are involved in this said the international community is involved in coordination. very strong coordination in the short term to preserve ukraine. and we have to bear in mind, this is the nature bagged that the whims with a few weeks ago will be granted ukraine candidate status, which is something that is very important. so we also need to act to ensure that

this is a credible answered wrong perspective. for ukraine, so we've been working on this very directly with the search, the very fruitful you currently worked within a reasonable time frame on very difficult in the subjects. and this has certainly demonstrated that we have this conviction that when we meet together, we can increase our influence and have a genuine constructive impact. and it's not done yet. we have work to do, and this lies ahead of us. and this is some, it should give us confidence for the word that we have to do in the monster. com. thank you very much. indeed, we had a very good discussion this morning again after having yesterday agreed on this huge energy package out. there is a lot of work now ahead of us what the energy is concerned, but the role map is very clear and it was good to have this unanimity, this broad support for the road map that we have put forward today. the focus was

indeed on the 2 topics, ukraine and china. and here i am looking at as ukraine. let me 1st of, of focus on the financing of ukraine. as you know, we had agreed to have $9000000000.00 of macro financial assistance to ukraine, which will be partially dispersed till the end of the year. over all so far, the european union, the european level have supported ukraine since the beginning of the year, with a, with, by now $19000000000.00 euros. but the focus was in the discussion more now on the, on the year to come. it is very important for ukraine to have a predictable and stable flaw of income. and therefore we, um, we assume, and we, we, the ukraine is telling us that they need approximately $3.00 to $4000000000.00 euros per month. and to have for them to,

to have enough resources for the basics. and these 3 to 4000000000 m u, or should be um, financed by the european union, by our american friends and by the financial institutions. therefore, the discussion was about round about $1500000000.00 per month for ukraine financed by the european union. so this will give over all a figure of 18000000000 for the next year. and amount where then ukraine can count on and where there's a stable and reliable, predictable flaw of income. we have task to finance ministers to develop the appropriate met mechanism. but it was important also to give this signal to ukraine that we very well know how important this reliable flow of income is. of course, there are other topics on the agenda and having seen in the last days the atrocious

and deliberate attacks of russia against civilian infrastructure and ukraine has other needs that have to be addressed. for example, the mobilization of humanitarian aid to help the most vulnerable in ukraine to get through this winter. in particular the more but then we're 11000000 internally displaced people by now who need to support who need access to water electricity heating on it. shelter. or we have announced this week that we will provide of further 175000000 euros for food, for shelter, for health support and for education. and we will provide emergency shelters in there, even a boucher and hockey if regions. of course we are in very close contact now with the ukranian authorities. um to look at how we can restore as best and as much as possible electricity, water supply, and other essential services. like,

for example, heating for that purpose, commissioner leonard, which was on site this week to assess the situation, to activate the civil protection mechanism and to look at how best and quickly we can support ukraine to deal with these vicious and atrocious attacks on the civilian infrastructure. this is the immediate support, but of course there's also the mit and long term support for reconstruction. and indeed, next week we will have in the context of the german g 7 presidency co hosted by the chancellor and me a conference on the reconstruction of ukraine. this is a conference that looks at the how should we address the reconstruction? it is a huge task. it is an international conference. the best experts are world wide art we'll come, we'll join and discuss how to best approach technically,

ah, but also financial and financially. this reconstruction process together not only with the european union, but also with our global partners. and of course, the reconstruction process. and the massive investments that are necessary should be aligned with the needs for reform in order to really pave already the pass to your membership or ukraine as you know, as a candidate country. so everything should be focused on this common journey that we will undertake together. the 2nd topic was indeed china. and yes, the discussion showed that will witness and witnessing quite an acceleration of trends and tensions. and it was very clear from the congress that we've seen, and that president, she is continuing to reinforcing the very assertive and self reliant course china

has taken. and clearly china is continuing a mission to establish its dominance in east asia and its influence globally. and at the same time, we have been witnessing, you will recall that in february, the so called agreement on no limits partnership between russia and china right before the invasion in ukraine. so these developments will affect the e u. china relationship. the chinese system is fundamentally different from ours, and we are aware of the nature of the rivalry. and against this backdrop, we had a very good strategic discussion on our relationship with china. obviously, we have to be very vigilant when it comes to dependencies. and we've learned our lesson, what the over dependency on fossil fuels from russia is concerned and how tough but

necessary it is to get rid of this dependency. in the case of china, it is the risk of dependency on technologies and raw materials. and therefore, the priorities here are to reinforce our own capacities and of course, also to diversify the supply of raw materials towards reliable, trustworthy suppliers in this context or the chips act concerning semiconductors. so technologies and the critical raw materials act are the major initiatives. and that we have put on the table, they are basically the strategic response to our dependencies. but so are also the free trade agreements and raw material partnerships that we are working on with other countries. in other words, with reliable partners, the recent fine direct investment screening is also as a strong tool that has been given to us. so with our new instruments,

like the international procurement, instrument and the regulation on foreign subsidies, we will have a new foundation how to approach china. those 2 are the international for human instrument and are the fine subsidies these regulation will enter into force in spring next year. and this shows there is a broad approach on the, a judicial side towards and the risks that we see in the relationship with china. also the difficulties to achieve a level playing field and the steps forward we have taken to solve here the imbalances and to really at re level the playing field. i hope we can soon add another layer to that. that will be our antiquarian instrument, a broad discussion on all of these different topics, an excellent or discussion and a very good counsel and that, that bargained i give the floor back to you. thank you madam president. her sam

will start, were you, sam fleming. thanks. finance. i'm coming from the financial times, i had 2 questions on china. her 1st li, the usaa recently announced a very stringent export controls in the area of semiconductors and technology exports to china. i wondered, what's the assessment of the impact of these measures on european industry and is there a risk for to europe could start to become more of a rule take or that a rule maker in this, in this area of true in this high tech trade was china, given the trends in u. s. policy, and the 2nd was one this week, or the u. s. navy chief one that there could be an invasion of tie one by china us or before 2024. i wondered if you are a sense amongst you leaders, a similar concern. how high is this concern right now? based on the debate we had today, thinking for a certain topic,

us or the semi conductors is of crucial importance. and um, these topics are we discussed, for example, with our american friends in the trade in technology council. this is the place where we figure out how we go forward. what the differences are in the approach is what the differences are. for example, in the legal settings, and therefore it's excellent that we, german chancellor, although shalt is speaking now let's listen in nation traces that element of speculation and we reached agreement in that regard. we will not be able to move. we also took a closer look at the so called iberian model, offloads elijah young graphic, not the iberian your peninsula. you print and being still somewhat warm dogs are all pos, are separate from the european structures of over great. some for her number of questions have been asked in that regard. if listen to some answers in tune of i to wish we will continue to examine with the matter, which is

a good thing to 3 also don't and financed side of matters. we have an immense opportunities and kind of her to as, as on, but also the recovery fund, draw designer invested towards positive i, which is about to reach the investment stage now as a to point in time where the pandemic has almost neared in us. and so we can draw on the funds available there. and how to finance ministers also ensure the funding of the re power you program, which is a program for that that amounts to roughly 250000000000 euros are which is designed or designated to expand renewable energy and who's, who has become even more independent of your home room, energy supplies, and visits largely, argo practice visual freshman of your own study. dorothy had refused to talk difficult a companion to prevent fraud bye to a new college and he would continue to be on the end of the european council. we

will have to take a closer look at i cannot make developments without a guard, and we will have to also focus on national european did more on the discussion. i no longer think quite prominently in our discussions today. and that has been a good thing when you take a look at what's the outcome here. yeah, i usually beside the sentence that says we've talked about, i think that was understanding of the thing to really provide us with an opportunity to have been told in greater detail and even throw in a very, to attractive spirit about these. and it has huge hospitals 1st, who told us to listen to one another to change change plans. if you aren't on object matter or behind all, this one can all say that the european union through the legs pride. in fact, i'm glad it is a union that has an interesting globe. i trade it is not on the side of those that make out in favor of d globalization as of the room. on the other hand, in seattle hold said clear that we have to angel asked for warranty. our ability to produce a port in your ha, technologies fountain doesn't venice or play

a part in our economies. so quote, dell technologies like a i can, but the quantum computers, the production of batteries built on buses. so this is the base and on foreign dns model and how things are going to evolve in that regard. these are all matters that i pray on our minds. it's a question of supply chain here. it's about commodities them for materials fuel we have to diversify and as you prepare, sadly talking a big world here, there are many countries on our globe. so this is also part of our consideration gretisca my is a that all sounds from through the steam mother. of course, this is right. as you say, i was at the point of departure word on the asking the rising energy prices rush is warf aggression, which is behind it's raising prices. and i only think it very prominently in our debate. i don't have much of our time between continued to support our cooperation to defend ukraine in many different ways of making available weapon useless victim

. yesterday, president landscape joined us by mature link and reported in very haunting group of dealers. language under about the recent development stand the attacks issued by russia. i'm on new electricity plans and on other civilian by the infrastructure here, craig room. the early spends 1000 plays an important part for the pip claim key. finnow d. yes. and in other cities, because they have to be protected against russia that attack and with the help of drones, i forgot the president said lensky highlighted germany, a supply chain disregard hygiene. we provided for a martin air defense system. we will train last week and with only 4, we've already provided ukraine when, for example, are the position of our cheater tanked of the so cut gape health g to view before going to be very clear. targeted tax on more civilian population constituted time would prime lawyer and has to be very key in that regard. this is why we imposed
