rethinking everything, and to make you make a change your revealed this week on d w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is w news. why from berlin at the un climate conference host country egypt tell us delegates to rise to the occasion. despite an extra day of talks, there's still no sign of a deal to curb global warming at issue how to compensate those countries already

bearing the brunt of climate change and ukrainians, confront the dark and cold aftermath of a week of russian air strikes. he says newly half the nations power grid has been knocked offline and one in 5 ukrainians is now without electricity. ah, a michael. ok. it's good to have you with us. you. when climate talks are dragging on past their deadline, as world leaders wrangle over how to blunt the impact of a warming clock planet. the big sticking point is the establishment of a fun to provide cash to vulnerable nations. the e u is backing the proposal, but divisions remain over who should contribute and who would benefit from? the lack of progress has left some participants wondering if there was any point

showing up front wednesday use top climate official express concern that the global warming limit of 1.5 degrees may be on its deathbed. european union once a positive result. but we don't want a result at any price, we will not accept the result. if it takes us back, we need to move forward. not back with the way we need to move forward, not backwards. and all ministers as if told me, like myself up a bad to walk away if we do not have a result that does justice to what the world is waiting for naming that we do something about this climate crisis. i am joined now by our corresponded julius, our deli and sean will shake, julius strong words. they're from the used top climate official. and as those words reverberate reports today suggesting there's still a long road to a deal. what are you hearing? what we've heard here is,

was actually quite some concern. there are the negotiations were not going in the right direction. there was expectation that there would be maybe progress during the night. but this morning there was a feeling of chaos and uncertainty. and we saw that especially for you officials, not only france tim amounts, but also germany is foreign minister, underlined blue book. seeing that they were really concerned about our back tracking in the agreements here on the 1.5 degree goals, sat in the paris climate agreement, which would mean that countries would abandon the ambition of trying to limit the rising global temperatures to want to point 5 degrees, and that is a level which scientists say would limit to a certain degree, the worst consequences of climate change. and there seems to not really be an agreement on wanting to keep with the paris agreement. and keep with the commitment

that countries, again reiterated last year at last year's corp and, and that has causing quite a stir here at call today. what's in the use proposal and how likely will other countries agree to it? here. so we're talking here about a proposal on so called loss and damage. that is the idea that rich develop countries should compensate the most vulnerable countries developing countries for the consequences of climate change, which they are bearing the brunt of and to which they really haven't contributed much in terms of emissions. and the u. s. has like other rich countries, like the u. s. has in the last decades been against compensating poor countries because they were afraid of, of a liability of being held liable for billions of dollars. and this is the 1st time that the u has opened up and put forward a proposal that they would be in favor of establishing

a fund here at cob this year to put together money to then distribute to developing countries. and we've seen in the latest draft put forward by the cup presidency here that this seems to be the case in the draft that is putting forward that this year's cop would establish the funding that the details would be hashed out next year. but there are still some tricky issues at hand here, which countries are going to be held to have to contribute to this fund, the u once china and other rich countries, india, brazil, to also contribute these countries. on the other hand, especially china, do still want to be considered in the developing sphere. and so it's going to be hard to try to hash out the details in terms of who gives the money and who receives it. got it, and is a d w's. julius l deli, there in shallow shake watering over a very dynamic situation. millions of people in ukraine or without power,

water heat as russia continues to target civilian infrastructure. the latest wave of russian missile strikes has disabled, almost half of ukraine's energy grid. and with the 1st snow of the season falling on quay 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 me sell strikes on 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 where joy, so much a more 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. but with the critical discourse 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. joining me now from cave is d. w. 's are correspond at yon phillip shawls. yon. if our piece is any indication of the ukrainian people, appear not to have lost morale or resolve. how are they doing? yes, i think the piece reflects the moods quite well. the situation is very critical indeed,

and the power is urgently needed here. now that it's getting really cold, sir, and the winter is setting in, but it still doesn't change. the morale of the people here ukrainian colleague told me he doesn't know a single person here in ukraine that is willing to give in and a lot of ukrainians are still optimistic. that the energy situation will somehow stabilize in the coming days and weeks yon. what's the sense there? why is russia resorting to these large scale attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure? i think that has several reasons. first of all, we have seen this patch on over and over when russia suffers to defeat on the battle ground like recently and fair sunday resorts to mess of a missile strikes. but the latest strikes had really reached a new quality and a lot of ukrainians say it's because russia wants to force ukraine to the

negotiation table. and they do this by using 2 methods basically by trying to exhaust the ukrainian air defense systems. as the u. s. a pentagon has just analyzed ends by destroying the civilian power infrastructure. and of course, it's not a coincidence that says those massive attacks happened now that serve into the winter sets in i'm curious, are the russian people aware of these attacks in as far as you know, do they still support this war? of course is very difficult for me to say from, from here, but from what i hear, i think there is still support for this war. and the people are quite aware of the attacks that are happening right now. but at the same time that i still mess of disinformation campaigns in russian media, a colleague, so me almost on a daily basis,

new videos that are published so by russian media outlets that are obviously fake, easy to detect fakes. and that so ukrainian soldiers supposedly committing horrible war crimes. so i think that there's probably not a lot of enthusiasm for the war in russia, but definitely also not a lot of large scale opposition yon phillip sholtes in a very wintry key. there are many thanks time for some other stories making news at this hour. authorities in china's capital beijing have urged residents to stay home. as new cases have grown a virus rise, many restaurants and shops have been shot. the government is trying to, trying a more targeted approach to restrictions and mid public anger over it's 0 coven strategy of city wide locked downs and daily mass testing. north korean leader kim
