hi thing again, sexism, abortion. how effective a protest on the street that up with dogs, november 25th on d w ah ah, this is dw news live from burly deadlock at the coff 27 climate summit in egypt as talks enter their final day agreement on new goals seems a long way off bought an unexpected proposal from the you could see a deal, tiny compensation for climate disasters to tougher pollution cutting measures lost
11:01 am
the island paradise being lost to the sea. a warning of what will happen if climate change continues unchecked. and russia launches new attacks on cities across ukraine as winter closes, and russian forces target ukraine's energy grid, knocking out power for millions. ah hello, i'm clarity and thank you so much for joining us. it is crunch time at the cop $27.00 climate summit in egypt. delegates are supposed to wrap up their talks to day bought negotiators are still trying to agree on a final statement. addressing several thorny issues. one of the biggest is compensation for countries hit by climate disasters. but there could be movement on that after a surprise offer from the european union linking financial aid to tougher emissions
11:02 am
cuts. vulnerable nations have already made it clear time to act is running out. when it comes to the effects of climate change that cop $27.00 delegates are battling against few things stand out for the public. light polar bears losing the arctic ice. they depend on or the pacific island nation of 2 volumes, seeing its islands potentially overcome by rising seas. dolphin won't pacific greetings from 12 to values. foreign minister spoke from a digitized version of what could be 2 values, 1st, landmass to go under line. we have not stepped up to the television. we must not doing so today. otherwise, within a lifetime, to well will only exist to you. to follow officials at the global summit point to the long held goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial age levels. scientists and activists say catastrophe looms of
11:03 am
temperatures rise more than that, the planet has already warmed by 1 point one degrees. why? the u. s. behind president joe biden, and the european union insist there holding firm to the 1.5 and are pushing china and other resistant nations to include the 1.5 degree figure in the climate summits, final agreement not back pedaling to 2 or even 2.5. degrees experts say that what's required is a phase out of the use of fossil fuels, the types that release carbon dioxide into the air that then traps heat in the atmosphere causing global warming. but a late draft of the declaration now calls for efforts to phase down as opposed to phase out fossil fuels. i think what we need at this crucial time in infancy, we need solidarity. we need to think about ella will in a sense of taking care of um,
11:04 am
a well another sticking point to the concluding statement. delegates from developing countries like nigeria and pakistan, which endured extraordinary flooding this year, or somalia and madagascar suffering from major drought. the poor countries are calling for richer, more polluted countries to pay financial relief to nations that feel the pain of climate change, but are responsible for comparatively little of what causes it. it's a massive and controversial matter that rich countries like the us are concerned, will set too much precedent. even this climate, meanwhile, to follow officials say that about massive efforts to tackle the causes of climate change, setting a precedent of any kind will no longer matter. and reporting from that summit, informal shake, egypt, i'm very pleased to be joined by w's, sam baker. sam, the conference is supposed to be wrapping up today. how close are negotiators to getting the deal?
11:05 am
well i don't think it's looking like today will be the last day. it's spend very slow here. one negotiator i spoke to yesterday said it's been an especially hard year because so many issues to do with money or on the table. we have seen some movement in the past few hours, however, from the you are proposing a fund for loss and damage funding. now this is the sort of money that climate vulnerable countries need after climate disaster strike to deal with the devastation that they caused. and the you is proposing this in exchange for the countries here, agreeing to face down coal, oil, and gas. ha. now this hasn't been reached in an agreement yet as a consensus as needed here, which can be quite difficult. so the u. s. for example, has been very quiet on the matter. however, smaller island states and other climate vulnerable countries have been holding firm on their demands for this sort of funding. we spoke yesterday for example,
11:06 am
with environment minister joseph from antigua and barracuda, who's also the chairman of the alliance of small islands states. you take, for instance, some of all countries, i think in dahlonega they have been debts and until they have been debts, result are public. so we consider this an urgent matter that should be addressed and we will not back away from a minimum position of this call or a lawson. dumb is fun. establish in order to make available nestor of financial resources to pay for the wives. for sam, the commons by the environment minister there, they echo those of many other poor countries, most impacted by climate change as it appears to be. the defining issue at this conference is getting money for loss and damage. why has it become such
11:07 am
a sticking point? well, dealing with climate change is expensive, though i should say it will be less costly to deal with it now than down the road. but one report there was commissioned by last year's cop host the u. k. as well as this year's egypt estimated that 2 trillion dollars per year will be needed to deal with what climate change has to bring and for climate vulnerable countries. poor nations. at least half of that is gonna have to come from external finance, things from other countries, from the private sector from somewhere else. and so that's one trillion dollars a year. a wealthier countries previously have pledged 100000000000 dollars year and they've been unable to live up to those pledges. so it's hard to see how if they can't make a 10th of that amount of money, how they're gonna get up to what is needed. so that's really been the sticking point here in terms of implementing what's needed to deal with climate change to
11:08 am
speaking of not living up to pledges activists including credit to embark have stayed away from this summit, accusing it of green washing to thank a call. 27 will have exceeded their expectations i don't think it's going to exceed their expectations. however, there are still many activists here. and i have spoken with many from various countries in the global south. and you know, what they tell me is we don't have an option to not come to this conference. you know, this is our one time of the year that we get the year of world leaders. and that goes also for smaller countries. you know, it's, it's kind of an unusual venue where activists can interact with the world's top leaders. and n g o is, can come across, you know, other countries. so it's really a unique opportunity even if it's very slow and can be very frustrating for them. a very important opportunity as well. did you, sam baker, for us at the top?
11:09 am
27 in charm all shake. many thanks for reporting. let's go now to some other stories making world news headlines. japan's prime minister told reporters that a ballistic missile fired from north korea likely landed in japanese waters. the presumed test would be the 2nd in 2 days. john gang has warned it would take fiercer action if the united states continue to strengthen alliances in the region . the white house has asked a federal court to grant immunity to saudi crown. prince mohammed ben fell mon, the kingdom de facto leader, who's in thailand for the apec economic leaders. meeting face of the u. s. lawsuit for allegedly ordering the murder of journalist or marker shogi in turkey. us intelligence officials believe the prince ordered the killing. and swedish officials say the explosions that burst the nord stream of pipelines under the baltic sea, where acts of sabotage, the controversial conduits for transporting rush and gas to germany became a flash point for diplomacy and energy policy. after russia invaded ukraine,
11:10 am
moscow and nato allies accuse each other of damaging the pipelines or russia has launched another wave of missile attacks across ukraine, killing at least 7 people and injuring many more. he says the strikes were mainly directed at tower and heating facilities. that with winter arriving as much of the nation sees its 1st significant snowfall. president quality murs lensky says more than 10000000 ukrainians are currently without electricity. well, mike martin is war city senior visiting fellow at kings college london. my colleague asked him how ukraine's allies can help them millions who are now without power in ukraine. it's very difficult if not impossible, which is why, probably why the russians are doing it. what's happening is the infrastructure of the power grid. so substations transmitters transmission lines as well as some power generation are being hit and damaged. and obviously the same structure takes
11:11 am
years to build in many cases. so what the ukrainians are going to be able to do is repass parts of it. and it is possible to provide pin prick power in places like hospitals by using generators. but the vast mass of the population. $10000000.00 people prisoners, he said, afraid is going to be when to largely without power from any of them. mike martin speaking to us earlier and even as they continue attacking civilian infrastructure, russian troops have retreated from several ukrainian territories and that they had occupied for much of the year and dw mateus bull and go went to the town of chance near ha thick kiff rather just for kilometers from the russian border, the invading troops there are gone, but they have left devastation behind them. it used to take less than 2 hours to drive from heart, give 2 of chunks. now it takes 5. you have to take small,
11:12 am
local roads and long th was all the major route and bridges are destroyed, which is 14 inches from the border with russia. the town was taken on the 1st day of the war. lucas, tell us the russians set up a torch and when this they mostly took young men that very kind of allah says so just ordered him to go there after they caught him outside of the curfew yard, the 11 of them i thought they would torture me well, i came as i was told at 8 am, but they just made me dig trenches were carry stuff around the door and stack sandbags who had to be there at 8 and would work until 5 was. that's how they made me slave away. miss girl with a girl for the last minute. your heart and everything
11:13 am
looks broken and the russians do so from across the board. the people were still here with soon face a tough winter. the electricity is often out and there's no gas for heating. some humanitarian aid does come, but not often. it's so hard to get there. given these conditions, not everybody is happy, the russians are gone. so usually when they were here we could still live more or less. normally there was work and we were getting humanitarian aid every 10 days. they would also hand out money. now we have nothing, excuse me. there's not much for sale at the market and not many people, many left for russia with the retreating soldiers. it's an area long considered pro russian. now the ukrainians are in charge again. many are anxious and suspicious.
11:14 am
painters as collaborators as a woman, she won't be on camera all the time. miss trust is everywhere. soldiers in charge of the town worry that local or informing the russian yet, but we hear about those who are working with both sides. they used to tip off the russian hill. now they come to see us and say this or that person was a collaborator. they put them put y'all on the job fair. he is only here to have his mother prepared for winter on board. took his wife and young daughter out of town and were soon joined. but he's determined to return and hope the tone can get back to normal. we were on our soil when we didn't attack anybody another, we don't want anything else.
