rethinking everything to make you make a change. you revealed this week on d. w. ah . visit d w. news live from berlin. ukrainians, confront the dock and cold aftermath of a week of brush and as strikes keep says nearly half the nation's power grid has been knocked offline. one in 5 ukrainians is without electricity. also coming up, climate change talks in egypt in over time as negotiated. try to break

a deadlock. the main issue you will pay for global warming damage and how much and in the u. s. a major snow storm bath says new york state for cost is born. that was, is yet to come. ah, i'm like, oh, it's good to have you with us. millions of people in ukraine are without power, water or heat as russia continues to target civilian infrastructure. the latest wave of russian missile strikes has disabled, almost half of ukraine's energy grid. with the 1st snow of the season falling on, keep residents are facing a cold, dark winter captured russian tanks covered in the winter's 1st snow. a reminder of when keith was much closer to the front lines. but while the fighting may be

further away, the war is ever present as daily russian strikes have plunged hundreds of thousands into darkness or sea. accordingly, russia continues to launch missiles tracks on ukraine's 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 batted power grid. as best they can, residents are preparing for more blackouts. those young, where do i so much a more counting on cas, we bought far would in the spring when it was already clear, it would be tough in winter. you know, i'm going to live with my parents and use a stove for heating, but with the political 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. dw sir constantine aga jones, men are from vill nears constance in y is russia resorting to these large scale attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure? well, you know, we've been asking the question about russia strategy and russia's goals for the last, whatever, 910 months. and i think by now the goal is determined by the capacity of the, of the russian army and of the good regime. i think the goal now is extra to destroy as much of you grain generally, and its infrastructure, particularly as possible and against the backdrop of persistent rumors of washington wanting some kind of negotiation between key of moscow. this gives

bruton an additional cost to play because this total destruction ukraine will actually a he thinks push the ukrainians to be softer and b, a shock the west enough for it to put pressure on president zalinski. and this will weigh into 2 tens. hands can russians keep up their attacks? do we know what we know about their weapons? stockpiles well, we know somebody not, you know, i'm not serving at a russian military. dep ought to tell you that. but i think that what we've seen in the last few months is the kremlin a unpacking old artillery ah, storage dumps in russia to basically use sometimes 19 fifties and sixties shells. secondly, we're talking about missiles, then the quantum engages in a very, very consistent in the active effort of buying misses from whoever will sell it

in the world. and i think iran here is very much in the focus on the grammar. do we know if there is still support for this war back in russia? do ordinary russians know about the attacks and ukraine's energy infrastructure? for example? well, i think the public opinion is shifting in russia, especially since mobilization was announced on the 21st of september. but it's shifting very, very slowly. we've seen some protests of the weiss and the girlfriends of the mobilized, but the protest were against bad housing conditions. bad ammunition, bad food. it wasn't against the war, per se. so i think it will take time for the public opinion to swing there very, very decisively against the last war. it will definitely take time, but i think again, the reality of war is gradually seeping into the collective rush mind constant in agates in various many thanks. thank you. in

a climate talks are dragging on past their deadline as well. leaders wrangle of how to compensate countries battered by the impact of climate change, the big sticking point as the establishment of a fund to provide cash to vulnerable nations. the you is backing the proposal, but divisions remain over who should contribute and he would benefit the use surprise, awful has shaken up climate dogs. we more heard good morning was the european commission, vice president as the block will agree to a loss and damage fund. but only as long as countries like china contribute to it. huge steps forward. this is our final offer. this is where the member states can find an agreement. and i, i have to thank all of them for, for the courage to go to go this far. but this is it, lawson damage is the idea of some kind of compensation from rich nations to help out. poor nations already had hard by extreme climate events. it has been

a highly contentious issue at this year's summit. many developing countries are demanding a deal on a new fund to help them cope with the irreparable damage of floods, drought, and other climate impacts. time and funding has so far focus on cutting emissions and projects to have communities adapt to future impacts loss and damage funding would be different in compensating costs that countries can't avoid or adapt to germany's foreign minister has warned against excluding major polluters, hinting at china are still, europe is on the side of the most vulnerable countries and as can now show which side there on the ship. the state that really made it should benefit from it. certainly, and not those that are only developing countries on paper and vehicles. linda sent

china and the 3rd largest historical amateur of greenhouse gases and the largest to day. but it has long been considered a developing country by the u. n. b u proposal puts both china and the u. s. on the spot setting of a power struggle among the wolf dog, 3 economies. i dw climate before to i did, man, john is with me in the studio and you've been following the cop conference. it's been extended by a day. what are the chances would get a deal today? if it's fairly unlikely that things are going to move back quickly? everyone journalist watching with were waking up this morning expecting to see a draft covered decision. finally, an agreement that would be debated over that didn't occur. and so i've been, i've had a 6 back to them a few hours from now, but essentially these negotiations consistently going to over time, it's expected all nice. and it's incredibly frustrating for the poor nations who

kind of paying for hotels don't necessarily have the money to just extend the hotels and re book flight from egypt all the way across to the other side of the well, depending on whether from the negotiations do seem to have really hit a bit of a deadlock, and the question is whether they'll be able to resolve that today, or whether they'll push it till tomorrow or whether they don't reach an agreement or tell us more about the use proposal to pay poor countries for the damage the climate change has cost. so the key tension hair is that rich countries have disproportionately heated the planet by burning fossil fuels and making a st and made extreme weather events worse. now the argument is over, who exactly should pay at the minute if the poorest countries were getting hit by these hotter heat waves and stronger coastal floods? they're the ones i know the, the key tension because rich countries have been reluctant to pay up in the best place except the idea of creating a fund or accept any liability of it. a legal sense of responsibility and china has

been pushing along with the poorest countries. so get this set up to say the rich countries should come to play poor ones. what's happened at this conference in the red countries, i'm sure inside the being willing to do so for kind of the 1st time in the history of the conferences. but with the caveat, they want to broaden the number of countries putting money into the pot to include countries like china and also to restrict who gets the funding to really just the most vulnerable countries. and not lot of the countries in the middle, it will all say suffering from hotter he waves and so on. all these other extreme weather events, but don't but up to some degree, middle income or rich countries themselves today. so what are the stakes at? what are the countries fighting over at the end of the day, this is can, when the key put some money that will define who gets paid for the damage that's already been done throughout history. and so, i mean, the 3 different things where money needs to go. one is to help poor countries, clean up their energy grids and have non fossil fuel sources of energy. a 2nd of

paying them to adapt to climate change and adapt to hot apartment. building c was coming up with having the funding so that when bad things happen, they're more able to deal with it. but the 3rd thing, this, the thing that hasn't really been addressed well now is how to deal with damage after it's been done. and what most of for come to the saying that the proposal thing brought up at this conference or germany coming up with what the central insurance scheme, a few countries putting in hand like tiny amounts of money relative to scale problem. that'll happen. all right, so we'll have to wait and see if there is a deal later today. i didn't run jen from w climate. thank you very much. now let's look at some of the stories making news around the world. but the u. s. attorney general has appointed a veteran prosecutor to oversee the investigation of former presidents. donald

trump. jack smith were lead inquiries into trump into white front, had classified documents at his florida state, as well as his role in the storming of the capital building community members. u. s . judge has sent in iran us founder elizabeth holmes, 211 years in prison homes g to investors in her medical started by falsely claiming the company's technology could detect medical conditions from a few drops of glut homes was convicted of fraud in january to fire fighters have died off for a plane crashed into the truck while taking off at lima international airport and peru. both the plane and the truck were motion on the runway when they collided. all passengers and crew members of the plane survived several being treated for injuries. police inter lancoste, capital colombo, have broken up a demonstration by students. they were demanding the release of 2 of their leaders

from the tension. the pair played a major role in protest that's forced for my president. go to buy a roger pucks or to leave the country earlier this year to the united states. now where the 1st major snow storm of the season has paralyzed part of new york state. more than a meter of snow fell in some areas and forecasts as a warning that more heavy snow is expected over the weekend. waking up to a heavy blanket of snow in the us, the 1st major snow storm for this winter has hit hardest in the west at the state of new york. it's knocked out power to thousands of people. airlines have cancer. flights and schools have closed. officials have issued a travel band as the sudden snowfall trapped some dr. is on the road.

we have been incredibly hard in south buffalo, where snow continues to come down. that required us to re impose a driving band. in south buffalo, you can turn very quickly, this is a very unpredictable storm, but not everyone can afford to stay home and wait it out. i'm just going to work. i mean, i work for amazon, so i'll be outside in this most likely. regardless of what the weather is with november snowstorms, a common in this part of the us where warm water from the nearby great lakes is drawn up to meet the cold up atmosphere. some locals are used to it and have brave to the cold for some fun in the 1st snow of the season. as a quick reminder off the top story with following for you,

ukraine's prime minister says nearly half the nation's national grade has been disabled by russia's latest wave of missile strikes, one and 5 ukrainians is without electricity. that's it for me watching d. w. news up next here on the channel shift living in the digital age. of course there are websites you can find much more information there around the clock, d w dot com. thanks for watching. ah a guy who uses your thoughts, they will grade a.
