we still have time to act. i'm going with it subscribe all morning with a with this is the w news. my from bird in the european union agrees a so called road map to head off a winter energy crisis. lead us a message should be in place within weeks to shield households and businesses from soaring gas prices with germany and france remain at odds over how to achieve also on the program. ukraine's president accuses rusher of planning to blow up

a vital hydroelectric dam. florida minutes eventually warns hundreds of thousands are in danger of flooding in the occupied house on regions. british politics is in chaos again to talk of a come back for former prime minister boris johnson. after his replacement quit over her failed economic planning on floods in nigeria and leave a 1000000 farmers say it's impossible to grow crops, fueling fears of hunger crisis. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. e leaders have wrapped up a summit in brussels, dominated by the energy crisis. i've agreed what they called a road map for containing soaring gas prices. lead to say measures should be in place within weeks to protect households and businesses. but france and germany are at odds over a price, and the german government plans a subsidies at

a national level. european commission president ursula found the lion says there has been progress. we had a very good discussion this morning again after having yesterday agreed on this huge energy package at there is a lot of work now ahead of us, what the energy is concerned, but the road map is very clear and it was good to have this unanimity this broad support for the road map that we have put forward to me. let's find out what this means with these are because one and jack para could join us from the summit at welcome a jack and we had a bigger a you commission president. they're saying the roadmap is clear. what does that mean? yeah, really hard to say to be honest fellow road map might by a cynic, be considered something of a copy on an agreement. essentially what the leaders of the 2070 you countries have done is told the european commission that they need to look at the costs and benefits and do a bit of an assessment about exactly what the contentious issues within these

energy debase. how they will affect the you going forward? now we know that specifically the most contentious issues were around the price gap cap for importing natural gas from outside of the european union. the concern is that if you cut the price that there will be more demand, more usage, and therefore it would be harder to buy that gas and that it could, that sort of intervention could have a big, big effect on the market. specifically, the people that are concerned most about that all the germans, we understand that german chancellor left shots was quite isolated in this summit, trying to defend that position. it looks like they just couldn't really get agreement on it. so what they decided to do was put forward this road map was like road map and framework in sort of you brussels speak often mean, but we're not quite there yet. we'll try and find a way through this going forward and then an energy meters. ministers are indeed meeting at the beginning of the next the next week. now what they did agree to do though, is a common per to sing scheme, sol, gas,

a mother's us something that the german chancellor spoke of eyes off to the summit to listen as consents, joint purchase. enough gas we've made had way to unfair recon private companies are now in a position to group together for the purpose of joint purchasing. that's a good step for what we all to want to address joint purchasing for certain percentage of the gas that is to go into our gas storage facilities, as suggested and proposed by the european commission. and it would be good, and it is good that we are coordinating at an early point in time, in order to prepare for the winter 2023. neither all the things like benchmarks on liquid natural gas that have been agreed ways to link increased liquidity in the energy market. all of this is quite technical. phil, it's quite complex and it's very political. but essentially what the lead is trying to do is trying to make sure that prices for consumers heating their homes through

the winter in the european union, or coming down this big divisions on how to do it. but all of the leaders want to do that. okay, so they put a pin in the energy crisis. what else is on the agenda today? yeah, there's been some big discussions about ukraine and also china. there's sort of a turning of the language towards china. they always quoted a sort of strategic partner in areas and a competitor in others that the leaders were having discussions about that on ukraine. we had some interesting comments about the financial support that ukraine is getting a broader mr. lensky. the ukranian president says that they need 3000000000 euros a month in order for just basic infrastructure, heating, electricity, etc, in the country while they continue to fight rushes invasion. we've heard now from the european union that they're going to provide $1500000000.00 euros per month of that, which will be $18000000000.00 euros through the year through next year through 2023

. so that's, that's something that we've, we've seen and there will be continued discussions. the european union continues to want to show it support for ukraine. but obviously now, as i say, the contentious issue is this energy issue for the e. u. an energy ministers will be meeting next week and all eyes will will turn back on to then. thanks for that, jack. i. date of the correspondent jetpack the grounds present is accused russia of planning to blow up a vital hydro electric dam in the occupied the house on region 40 minutes. and he says, russian troops of mine the kafka power plant on the day pro river, and hundreds of thousands of people are in danger of flooding. if the dam is destroyed, then i thing for margie, according to our information, the aggregate same damn of the car, kafka hydro electric power plant. we're mind by russian terrorist. now every one in the world must act powerfully and quickly to prevent

a new russian terrorist attack, destroying the dam would mean a large scale disaster. i'm not at the stove. and a correspondence that is bullying her in keith told us more. the attacks on ukrainian energy infrastructure continue just before the winter and new concerns are rising around the damn in nova hoffa in the occupied territories and the hassan region. the ukranian president has accused russia of having mind the damn possibly planning to blow it up. if the russian troops retreat speculations about a retreat of the russian troops have been around since the russians admitted that they were in trouble in the region, russia itself denies this. it uses ukraine of planning to blow up the damn. if this dam would be damaged and if it would break, this would have severe consequences. possibly, the whole city of her son would be flooded. it would be a disaster that he's better in keith. now the 1st of 9000 russian troops arrived in

bella, roost men's gun moscow say they're setting up a joint unit to defend beller roost borders. the countries that lead alexander lucas shanker claims that the bedrooms are faces, threat from neighboring ukraine and its west and allies. ukraine accuses moscow were trying to draw bell roofs into the war. a train said to be carrying russian military vehicles arrives in belarus. another apparently full of russian soldiers over the last few days, bela rose's defense ministry has been releasing images like these to prove that a deal struck between it and its giant neighbour, russia is really happening for perimeter. we arrived from the central region of russia. well, specifically, i'm from moscow,

was come to help the brotherly people of the republic of billy rose to strengthen their borders and to make everyone feel how good night the peoples of russia and billows are yours. alexander lucas jenko announces and last for a joint military unit, more than a week ago, minsk, his sense confirmed that around 9000 russian troops will be based in the country, close to the ukrainian border. but location co continues to deny that his country will attack ukraine. it's no secret though, that russia is vladimir putin has been using bela rose in its war against cave, including launching air strikes from their ukraine, has already released images of its armed forces. said to be training near the border with bella. ruth, with the chance already been holding military drills in the region before the deal

between minsk and moscow was announced to pay your hulu. but better? well, this is going to show it's giving these russian soldiers a warm welcome. but once the show is over, no one's quite sure what will happen next. let's take a look at this with a katerina schulman, who is a political scientist who left russia shortly after the war began. she's a fellow of the robert bush, a shift on, and joins us from burning. welcome to the w. what's your best gas as to why this joints? russian bella ruffian unit has been set up. actually is the position of the fil, a russian president. alexandro, catherine, curt use one of the most remarkable in political history. he stranded between 3 and it is all of which one came away and, oh, each of which is more powerful than he is on the west. russia and his own people.

and yet human, there's managers to preserve power. he has but also are somehow managed to wiggle away from direct entanglement. in the are you bring your door? he's paying now he's respect to the russian president. he is doing all the leap service he possibly can. he's also allowing the use of the russian territory for the launch of russian me styles. but he has not given any people to his ally the away of it so desperately needs more man power over. as far as it is possible to determine the future or to understand what will be happening, he will try to keep the same policy that has so far been so successful to him, he will try to continue in his unique position of the same time at jailer and an execution of his native land and a preserver of its independence for at least its independence from russia. but this sounds like a step away from that study neutrality that you bet you just outline this sounds

like a joint bella ruffian and russian unit. that sounds like a step towards involvement beyond allowing russia to use his country as a sort of launchpad. i, you know, during the last 20 years we've seen and heard so many announcements of the next phase off russia and bill, russian entity, russian, bill, russian, unity are, we have seen the creation are and down the disappear into all of our collective bodies like the joint part ones are we have seen, we have heard so many declarations of this kind and the up, sam, how are nothing very material now happened after that it may be that now are remarkably successful in this direction, but he wants to have his own country to himself he is also aware of that, as we are aware, all the independence, it's all of you still more you still less possible invalid was than in russia. but until we do have data, demonstrating that the war is extremely unpopular in bill russian society. and that

is also unpopular among the military. so he has managed to preserve his power in 2020 solely with the help of russia. and yet his independence you serenity is still with him. and since our february, he has also managed to stay away from direct entanglement, may be knowing that should he give the order for the troops to march towards ukraine. maybe this will not result in the execution of the order, but rather loss of power for himself. that's a fascinating analysis and we thank you for it. it kathrina schulman political scientists. thank you. thank you. we'll take a look at some of the stores making news around the world. now. you fire up to the central mexico when a fuel truck crossed into an overpass, the explosion scorched home in vehicles. 100 serve hard to leave their homes with truck drivers not under arrest or cannot to. kevin spacey has been cleared in

a sex abuse case. a new york jury found his accuser who's not 50 years old, did not prove that mister spicy made an unwanted sexual advance when he was 14 security forces of clash with indigenous protesters in the colombian capital bogota . and people displaced by civil conflict, demonstrating against poor conditions in temporary accommodation emergency services in nigeria, se flooding has killed at least 600 people and left more than a 1000000 homeless flooding crops and farm lander raising fairs of a food crisis. climate change and poor planning of being blamed. hey, this is what the rainy season usually looks like, an ambrosia in southeastern edge area. and this is what the same community looks like now. swollen weavers, have inundated numerous towels and villages across nigeria,

cause in 1400000 people to flee their homes for camp set up on higher ground. 27 out of 36 states have been affected. alhambra state is one of the was heaped. one 3rd of the state is now on the water. we are suffering, but suffering is better than stealing. that's why we are here in this condition. the clothes that i'm wearing are the only ones i have left. the flood carried away all our belongings. studio about polar schools have been destroyed by water. so our plea is anyone that can help us should help us. any one that you help us should help us please local and yields and philanthropists as crumbling to help where the camp people here see the feel neglected by the government. the government manager, have them gone and do not see any resent

with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flooded communities are without power and people's generators have been destroyed. critical infrastructures such as schools, health care centers, police stations, and banks can't operate. the nigerian government says that thought they received only one in size of the flood. they never foresaw at this level of destruction and with the number of farmlands that have been washed away. there are concerns about foot scarcity in the coming months. south eastern nigeria is at risk of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season. in november. we get war from dw correspondent to flourish to cora in the nigeria commercial capital lagos. welcome 1st. so those figures are staggering, $600.00 dead, more than a 1000000 displaced aid nowhere to be seen in some areas and what's causing those

problems with the systems. well, the, the reason is simple. the problem is simply overwhelming for the government, the nigerian majesty magic em management agency is doing their best to reach out to people who have been affected by these flaws. but you have to are less than that. many of these places are very hard to reach and the scare of the problem, the magnitude of the problem is one that the government did not really envy sasha, like they didn't seed commune. and so reaching out, so up to every one or been able to reach out to every one. you know, i immediately is almost impossible. so many people are just relying right now on and use an philanthropies to send them money. i mean, we are talking about almost a whole of nigeria being affected right by, by the flood, right? i'm with huge sways of farmland destroyed. is the country now having for

a crisis or food crisis? that projections of food crisis is coming up in a few months, according to the president of the all farmers association, which is the association of farmers. an area about 60 to 70 percent of nigeria from land would, will be lost to these floating. of course, that means that we're going to see less how this less produce carmine in the coming months because farmers are planted crops on now. they've all been washed away by the water. other than that, 6 months ago that was already a prediction that nigeria was going to be among 6 countries. who would, that would experience extreme food shortages. so the picture really looks very bleak right now. i'm be the worst of plugs in decade and blame is being a portion not just to climate change,

but also to poor planning. it's exactly the nigerian government has simply shown their lack of ability to really plan ahead. now just speaking about the short term, the government was aware that there was going to be a flood coming, but not much was dawn to prepare people for reeds. and also to, you know, stuck up on food materials, relief items for people. there may be affected. you know, and apart from that, there is a dam ink in there, barring cameron that releases water every year. and that water flows through the river and ever been re baseline. and that is what also mixed the flooding issue. very, very bad. so this happens every year, just that this year in particular, the damage and the destruction is just on preceding it. it's one like we've not seen in, in about 10 years late, like you,

you rightly said. and so and so what we are seeing is that the government filled supplant, and prepare for the water that they knew was commune. and in fact, you could see this evening the, our body language. they have this kind of, you know, fed our body language like, or we are living up to god yesterday, a minister that said that 80 percent of the flood that we are seen is as a result of ream sent by god. that obviously shows that they have this attitude like there is nothing they can really do to, to salvage situations of control this issue. and that is a huge problem because we are talking about the lives of lots of people, lots of our women and children. of course will be highly hit by this and yes, it's not just a problem of climate change, but also of planning. i just also wanted to mention that 40 years ago there was a damned hours where to be built in nigeria. that would have been able to accommodate all of all this water, but unfortunately, 40 years after that damn is nor yet complete. so this is

a complex problem of leadership planning on of course a climate change and a sort of thank you so much for that. flourished cora in lagos. so to the u. k, which could avenue prime minister, another new prime minister within a week, the races on to replace it, liz trus, who bowed to a pressure resigned yesterday. oh, her failed economic plan. the governing conservative party is to choose a new leader, but many voters would rather see a general election to primaries, questions after weeks of chaos and british politics and parliament. the countries top job is up for grabs. again, price guarantee senior conservative party lawmakers were quick to lay out the conditions for finding trusses replacement just to confirm a maximum of 3 candidates. and they must get the backing of at least 100 conservative members of parliament. by monday, frank runners for the job include penny more, dont

a former defense minister who was a passionate supporter of leaving the european union and richie snack, who served as finance minister and boris johnson's government party. also, the former prime minister barak johnson himself is said to be considering a comeback, or on friday morning, much of the british praise focused on johnson as a contender. a new poll shows the majority of brit support holding an immediate general election. it's also what opposition parties including the green party, liberal democrats and labor calling for. well, i remind at myself that only 3 months ago, boris johnson left office, because most of those who were serving him on his front bench had declared that he was unfit for office. so to go from the county county budget on the list trust back to a man that his own parties declared is unfit for office. is the most powerful argument you could possibly have for a general election. meanwhile, out on the streets,

when it came to backing the push for a general election, opinions were more divided. absolutely 100 percent. they've got no mandate. they need to. they need to let the people decide, you know, they're trying to keep in power when nobody wants them. i'm not sure if general, that action is the best way. but anything that boris, i just want stability and quickly. i don't think so. i think we need to stabilize the country and picker pick a new leader, someone like richard sooner. who can just stabilize everything? before we move on to a general election, the conservative said trust his replacement will be picked within a week. there under pressure to move quickly, the british public is keen to draw a line and to one of the most motorists periods of politics ever. the president of iran's olympic committee says, climate al, missouri cabby will not be punished for competing in an international event without

a mandatory headscarf recovery. isn't the 1st iranian woman to break the rule. in 2019 boxes said i've had them one an international fight without a he job. but unlike recovery, i had them didn't to go home to run after the competition. it was 3 years ago saddam hadn't was working out, having won her 1st international fight. the 1st of any iranian woman in the aftermath of victory, this was how she looked in the colors of the flag green top over red shorts and no hid job. she was to fly back to iran before long, but she says an arrest warrant was issued for her. she stayed in france and decided to lay low and were just sunny. i, val, it's name that speaking out against the government in iran is a very dangerous activity. that's why i've stayed silent the past 3 years,

not for me, but for my family in iran, but seeing the deadly policing pushback to recent protests over the death of young gina masa armine. while in the custody of iran's morality police was too much. i mean, he was accused of wearing her her job too loosely. in france, hud am goes without a head covering and fears for the protesters back home, who want women to be able to decide on his job for themselves and truly a year. they arrest people. the government and they kill people and i'm afraid for people's lives, but that's why i don't know. i hope that it all works out, but i am not very optimistic as when she's battling a strong opponent. hadn't believes a change of tactics is in order for the protesters. she seen a fellow iranian athlete illness recopy who went without a hitch job while competing hustled home and in the process kept to the
