rethinking everything and make you made a change. you reviewed this week on d. w. ah ah . ah, business d, w. use alive from berlin, ukrainians, confront the dark and cold aftermath of the week of russian as strikes. keith 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 and over time

as negotiators try to break the deadlock, the main issue, who will pay for global warming damage and how much and in the u. s. a major snowstorm baptist new york state forecast is warned that the worst is yet to come. ah, i'm will azako, 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, fur 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 myself 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 battery power grid as best they can . residents are preparing for more blackouts. gozine with woodrow 7, which a lot counting on cas, we bought firewood 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 with the critical discourse. like here's a dolly,

it makes life more difficult, but i bought flashlights and candles, so everything is fine. it was of i have this winter. but with russian missiles striking across ukraine for millions that winter will be cold and dark. so why is russia resorting to these large scale attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure? i put that question to dw correspondence and russia analyst constantine exit. 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 our washington wanting some kind of negotiations between care of moscow. this gives bruton an additional car to play because this total destruction ukraine will

actually a he thinks push the ukrainians to be softer and b, a shock to west enough for it to put pressure on president zalinski in this will way into prudence. hands can russians keep up their attacks? do we know what we know about their weapons? stockpiles well, we know some, but, and not, you know, i'm not serving a russian military dep ought to, 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 6 the shells. secondly, we're talking about missiles, then the cronum in gauges in a very, very consistent in the active effort of buying missiles from whoever will sell it

in the world. and i think the wrong 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 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 needless 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 and climate talks are dragging

on past their deadline as well. latest wrangle over how to compensate countries batted by the impact of climate change, the big sticking point as the establishment of a fun to provide cash to vulnerable nations. the you is backing a proposal, but divisions remain of who should contribute and who should 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 lawson 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 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. his want against excluding major polluters, hinting at china are still europe is on the side of the most vulnerable countries. and as now, show which side there on the ship. the state that really needed should benefit from it, certainly, and not those that are only developing countries on paper and vic, long, slender cent china as the 3rd largest historical emitter 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 world's top 3 economies calling and julia suddenly is in shanna shake for us julia. this summit is into overtime, but we are getting reports that there is still a way to go before a deal is reached. what are you hearing? now, that is exactly what we're hearing here. and there is also a concern coming from from a certain and negotiating parties that there may also be a back tracking compared to the agreements reach that the previous car last year in, in glasgow. we hear that there is concern that are even looking at wanting to keep

alive. the goal of keeping the global warming of, of the, of the globe are below $1.00 degrees celsius or at the limit of $1.00 degrees celsius. may also be called into question now at, during the negotiations, it seemed like some countries do not want to stick to the commitment. and that is very worrying, especially for we've heard from the european parties. but it is also worrying because scientists say that is the limit at which the worst consequences of climate change can be averted. and also on the issue of our phasing down fossil fuels. now, last year in glasgow, it was agreed that only the face down of coal would be entered into the agreement. and this year some countries including india, were pushing for this agreement to also include oil and gas. but it looks like this issue is also not going to be included in the agreement, or we've seen at least in previous draft, that it's still only referencing call. and this is something that limits progress

and trying to reduce emissions worldwide, which is really important in trying to mitigate the, the effects of climate change. and finally, the issue of funding is still very controversial and it seems like no agreement has yet been found on that issue. some of the major issues still being discussed, you. so what funding talk us through the use proposal and what countries do agree with it? yes, so developed countries like e u member states and the u. s. have traditionally been a been against the idea of so called lawson damage. that is the idea that richard developed countries should compensate to developing countries who are being hit the most by the consequences of climate change and global warming, but who have contributed the lease. now, there was quite a major step forward. we could say as in this year that you has agreed to go above

it said it is open to looking into the possibility of creating a fund to which countries can contribute and then give money to the poor countries . but there are some conditions there, there don't seem to be object accepted by the developing countries. on the one hand, you, once china and other countries that were previous, considered, previously considered developing, but are now big economic powers and big emitters to also contribute to this fund. and also they want the money to only go to the most vulnerable and developing countries, and that is obviously upsetting for middle income countries who also thought they could receive compensation for this fund. and this really seems to be the sticking point or the most important sticking point at this moment at cop. thank you very much, julia said oliver in shamela shake. time now for some other stories, making news around the world. us attorney general has appointed a veteran, prosecutors overseas the investigation of a former president. donald trump,
