thousands into darkness or sea accordingly, russia continues to launch me sell strikes when ukraine civilian critical infrastructure, waging war against the civilian population, and depriving them of light water, heat, and communications. almost half of our energy system has been disabled labo, while authorities are scrambling to repair the battery power grid as best they can . residents are preparing for more blackouts. those young woodrow 7, which i'm not counting on cas, we bought firewood in the spring when it was already clear. it would be tough and winter. you know, i'm going to live with my parents and use a stow for heating. but with the disco, the risk was 5 years ago, it makes life more difficult, but i bought flashlights and candles. so everything is fine and was of i have this winter. but with russian missiles striking across ukraine for millions that winter

will be cold and dark. well, i asked maria of dba, a ukrainian security analyst in odessa, how the power outages have affected people there, including her actually the place where i'm staying now. this hotel is running on generator for the last 3 days because it's the 3rd day when the power outage is side extremely high in odessa and according to the latest 70 percent of the population of people and consumers in odessa. dont have electricity for 3 days in a row. so the only way you can get internet connection and electricity is if you have the generator and a bought from electricity, communication is a very wide till seen that is now missing for a lot of people. because the antenna, the power,

they agreed to the communication which is needs electricity as well. and the better is die very fast in for 5 hours. and after that, there is no possibility for people to make close. maria, let me ask you this, and if so many people there in odessa are without power. how are they? how are they coping? because i assume not everyone can have a power generator. if you do have a generator, that means you have to have enough gasoline or diesel to run it. so what are people doing there to cope absolutely for a lot of people, this is a total disaster, and there are a districts there where it's, every sin is dark. and the situation is a very hard, not only for odessa but, but the nearby regions. i've been also to make alive and to check so on, and people are struggling. and because for many electricity is also the mean to heat their apartment because they can then you assess them heaters and without the

electricity. this is not where i can and more or were the what to pumps need electricity turan so no electricity or many people means no no no heat and and no water and the temperatures are getting really low. now, especially in the night hours when people ask in what you are describing is a situation that many people will not be able to withstand for a very long time. you've got winter coming, you've got people without power without heating. i'm wondering, maria, do you think that we're at the beginning now of another people exodus will ukrainians once again, have to leave their homes just to survive and and to find heat the bell the trying to prepare them south saffel? well, this winter, because everyone in ukraine, you and the government was born and people that did this will be the most difficult winter for ukraine ever. and, but it's very difficult to prepare yourself for this kind of situation. so for now,

people are still hoping that the government will be able to cope with the situation and this will not become critical because said the officials were preparing for this as well. and many hospitals and schools. kindergartens have generators. so people who go and who take care about the children, they can provide these. but for how long will this last depends on how will you grand be able to protect itself from that but the possible or, or get attacks that might come from russia? maria of diva joining us tonight from odessa marie, we appreciate you taking time to talk with us helping us better understand what people there are going through. thank you. thank you. my pleasure. what else to the climate crisis and divisions between rich and poor, delegates of the cop 27 climate, somebody,

egypt they've been given one more day to break a deadlock topping the list of issues. what is known as a loss and damage fund to help poor countries hit by climate disasters. european union is backing a proposal to compensate countries that are suffering from extreme storms. droughts, or floods provided that these countries make tougher emissions cuts. but divisions remain over exactly which countries would be eligible for the money. delegates are also waiting to see if the world's 2 biggest c o 2 emitters, the u. s. in china. if they will sign on d, w 's, tim schellenberg, he is at the summit in egypt. he says that china is reluctant to contribute anything to the loss or damage fought. it will be very difficult for china to agree what's on the table at the moment. and that's because china has been part of the g 77, a group of developing countries pushing for exactly this lawson damage fund in the

last couple of years. and also doing this past 2 weeks and, but was actually on the table right now, would mean that china would, would switch from being a potential or put from a potential receiver of money to the side of those who pay for it a donor. and not as that is not very well seen. among the chinese negotiators, the european union says it doesn't want to help developing countries. the terminology it supports now is helping the most vulnerable countries. why are we talking about this change and terminology and which countries qualify as most vulnerable? the criteria to which most vulnerable would referred that is still part of the negotiations and it will also still be beyond this a year's conference. but what is very clear, what the you wants to address here, is that as you just said, only the very vulnerable should

a benefit from payments. and who are those countries? and those countries are island states which are actually threatened to be washed away by sea level rise or storms is. those are countries in africa suffering from child countries in south africa and so sorry, social south east asia and countries which do not have the means, the economic strength to recover from damages being caused by climate change. and this does not include china as very strong economy, which does it indeed has the means to pay for its losses and damages the throat has the means. maybe it lacks the will. what about this summit? as a whole, delegates have an extra day to find common ground. are they going to be able to do it for you? sources we spoke to today, we're slightly optimistic to find

a solution not only on the loss and damage fund by tomorrow afternoon evening, but also on other topics. but it's not only about china coming back to the fund. it's also about the u. s. the u. s. has been very reluctant on this on this issue and is still is and there will be challenges to convince these 2 parties. he abused him schellenberg, joining us tonight from the top 27 climate summit in chicago. shake egypt. tim, thank you very much. are let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the u. s. attorney general has appointed a veteran prosecutor to oversee the investigation of former president. donald trump . jack smith will lead inquiries into why truck had classified documents at his florida state of coast, as well as his role in the storming of the capital. in january, 6, swedish officials say that explosions on the north stream gas pipelines in the baltic sea connecting germany and russia were caused by sabotaged moscow and

western nato. countries have accused each other of damaging the pipelines. the white house has asked a u. s. court to grant immunity to the saudi crown, france mohammed bin selman. he is facing a lawsuit for allegedly ordering the murder of the journalist, jamal cas shogi and turkey. american intelligence. officials believe the prince ordered the killing guitar has banned the sell of beer at the world. cup the stadiums just 2 days before the opening match. now this caps, months of tense negotiations between fever and guitar. the band could violate a multi $1000000.00 sponsorship deal with in highs or bush beer will be available in the i. p. areas in the state. sobering, sobering facts tonight about the world cup. here with me to discuss that this last minute rule change is tom, away from b w sports. so tom, didn't they get this stuff actually clarified years ago?

well, you might have assumed that they would have done. it's kind of difficult to believe the, you know, could, i was awarded the tournament 12 years ago and it's taken until 48 hours and to kick off to get a definitive answer on whether or not it will be available in the stadiums. now alcohol is available in guitar in normal times, but subject to strict controls, it's available, for example, in certain places in hotel bars, prohibitively high prices, those high prices did appear to have been part of the settlement. that fever had reached with kentoria authorities. now we will let leap as we're supporters that be it would be available in stadiums for something like 13 euros for half a lita which is a fed whack, but there wasn't money available for those who wanted it. now we've heard early on friday that there will be a total ban on the sale of alcohol at grounds themselves. as you can imagine, many of the support is already there and were taken somewhat surprised by the 11th hour announcement on friday. i jen,

tina. it's essential that you always share with friends and family in moments of tie. and right now and teens, i thought so i to be here at work up and we really want to win here is normally indispensable for us. it's like a bottle of water. when you're in the middle of the desert, we definitely thought there would be a here, and i don't know what going to happen a not even in there with everything you want to live there. well, that's about, i mean, so people like this decision, some don't, of course, i mean, you know, there are some people for whom b is irrelevant anyway, there are some people for any number of reasons, including of course, religious reasons who don't drink and you know, this decision won't affect them if your v r, p, or hospitality guest of v for at the stadiums that won't affect you either because

alcohol will still be available in those areas of the grounds. but of course, there are many people for whom, you know, i'll call it beverages are part of their supporting experience. so yet, there are a lot of people for whom this decision is a big could be a lot of tiers in beers next couple of weeks. so where does this decision leave fee for or frankly, looking rather city, you know, we mentioned that they've had 12 years to get this sorted out. and the decision has only come out 2 days before the start of the 1st game. and it also draws attention to the many ways in which this tournament is an aberration from what we usually expect for a fee for woke up. it's happening in november and december, regular football seasons, domestic seasons have been interrupted for the stadiums that will have to be built brand new and many of them will be ripped down straight off the tournament. and the sale of alcohol is another way in which this is no well cut like any. i'm not to mention the number of workers who maybe had to die for all of this to take place. tom, thank you. you're watching the w news up next. business news with christie plants
