thank you, may i you reviewed this week on d, w. ah, ah, this is dw news alive from berlin at break through at the you and climate summit in egypt. delegates agree to create a found that will compensate countries bearing the brunt of climate change. but many say the climate deal falls short on the fossil fuel face out needed to prevent even more catastrophic warming,
8:01 am
also coming up taste of joy in water. ukraine as the 1st passenger train arrives and have song after the city was liberated from russian occupation. but danger isn't over. russian strikes have left millions of ukrainians without electricity and heating as winter sets in and in sport. the 1st president lashes out as critics of the world cup and cattle with kick off just hours away. the focus is again, not on the football, will take your life to doha. ah, i'm will on soccer a very well welcome to the program. negotiate is app you and call the 27 climate summits in egypt. have approved and historic deal on compensation for vulnerable nations like to continue off the days over at local countries after some agreed to
8:02 am
set up a loss and damage fun to help the nation's most at risk of climate change. disasters calls for such a fun have dominated the last 2 weeks of talks. the details of the deal still have to be negotiated, including which countries would for the bill. while the deal has one praise, many officials say it falls short on both climate on both loss or damage provisions and prevention of planetary warming by not committing to reducing emissions. here's what you climate policy chief france tenants had to say. we are proud of our contribution to the creation of this fund that will serve the interest of those most the need of support. but i urge you to acknowledge when you walk out of this room, that we have all fallen short and actions to avoid and minimize lawson damage. we should have done much more. our citizens expect us to lead. that means far
8:03 am
more rapidly, reduce emissions. now the loss and damage fund has been hailed as historic. d. w. climate reporter at its neuron gen, told me what it means in practical terms. so it is partly historic deal for the 1st time in the 30 years of climate negotiation. there is now a dedicated fund that is going to be set up so that rich countries, we did the move to cause climate change like burning fossil fuel stroke, no forests and everything. they pay the poorest ones. so compensate for the damages that have been caused. there we're not just talking about helping them transition from fossil fuels to clean energy or help them that i told him i a see, was them everything like that? it's really about paying for the damages done by extreme whether that sort of already gotten was the secretary that the so the new fund for paying for these damages has been priced as a significant step. but is it big enough?
8:04 am
i mean, all the details of this are very vague and when the rich countries actually pay into it on the scale required is a completely different conversation. and one where i think many of the poor country law, skeptical towards anyway, given how much opposition they faced, even just getting this on the gender in the 1st place or the decades. and them having to fight to the last 2 weeks to get it actually set up and we can the war to down to the extent that countries tried to do. and yes, that's very clear signs that it will be difficult for them to get rid countries on will to pay us. and that's something where rich countries have even said themselves that they're going to struggle to pass the bits of legislation throughout home. although that we don't have the polling to see whether people or not people at home would be willing to pay. but the creation fund is something that has broadly been welcomed. and the next step is trying to get the money into it. so the question of this fund is one issue. what about the other issues at the conference?
8:05 am
so one of the big issues that did not get resolved satisfactorily, i guess from a climate science point of view is the inclusion of fossil fuels in the final agreement. so what was agreed was the same thing that we had last year, and the glasgow climate, something called $26.00, which talked about just getting rid of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. talking in the line about phasing down a fading out unabated coal power meetings. i've called plants where you haven't fit to them with technology to kind of capture the carbon pollution leaking out of them, of what kind of the science showed very clearly that we essentially need phase out old fossil fuels, old coal, oil and gas, with some exceptions for things that could be retrofitted with this technology to capture the carbon and store it. but the vast majority of it will have to go and something where the argument in this climate summit ended up being between essentially kind of the richer countries who she more willing than were expected
8:06 am
actually to, to cut to include language like this, to say get rid of the fossil field and particularly petrol exporting state. so opec, saudi arabia and countries like this, who were very adamant that they didn't want to see any language like that and final agreement. and so when you end up with is scientific reports that been coming out that been welcomed, even in the same decision that make it really clear that fossil fuels need to go. and yet yet from political decision is to just focus on one aspect that i did. thank you very much. that was a climate report that i just ran gen in ukraine. crowds have greeted the 1st trend, carrying passengers to the southern city of her son a week after it was liberated from russian occupation. although there was relief among those returning for many, the danger isn't over. ukrainians still face harsh conditions including widespread power outages. as winter approaches, she is as the 1st train into liberated house on pulls into the station
8:07 am
after enduring 8 months of russian occupation, these families of finally reunited yellow blue through its completed new book. i haven't cried for a long time in the law. and now finally, you cry when i see my daughter ah, ukrainians are calling this the victory train, but victory in her son has come at a heavy price. the russians left the city in pieces littered with land mines and it's power grid in ruins. as ukrainian troops make gains on the battlefield. moscow has been striking critical infrastructure instead. one of the latest targets was this oil depot. fire fighters say they're struggling to put out the blaze. russian troops took the city's fire trucks and ambulances with them when they
8:08 am
withdrew. nearly half of the country's power grid has already been destroyed, leaving millions of ukrainians without heat or electricity. at a time when temperature dropping below 0, the head of ukraine's biggest private energy firm has urged people to leave the country to reduce demand or project supplemental to say no. of course, i think for 38 me working for i may have to make a decision until abroad or vs because without electricity got out. cathy fulcher, without heating, it will be no conditions with a vine working with a child her. she's vocal. the saw snow is usually a sign that the festive season is just around the corner that feel craniums. it's an ominous reminder of the danger that lies ahead. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. turkey says it has launched air strikes across northern syria, targeting the military basis of kurdish militants. a war monitor says at least 12
8:09 am
people were killed. the strikes come days after the turkish government blamed the kurdistan workers party for a deadly bombing in central is double. unless he has general election, has produced an unprecedented hung parliament with no group able to claim a majority opposition leader. anwar abraham says his coalition has enough support to form the next government ex premier when he dean. yes, seen, has made the same claim. kick off in the football, woke up and cats are, is just hours away now. it's the most controversial tournament in competition history. attracting widespread scrutiny due to labor and human rights abuses in the host country. much of this criticism has been leveled at fever and its president johnny in fontana. now he's responded to the criticism, calling out what he describes as western hypocrisy. if
8:10 am
a president gianni infantile should be relieved after long fraught years of planning building and glad handing the guitar, world cup is finally ready to begin. but as the tournament draws nearer, thoughts criticising fifo for partnering with a host nation accused of human rights and labor abuses and were homeless or trojans criminalized, have only gotten louder and 20 new expressed empathy with marginalized groups, including those ostracized guitar and a press conference. one day before the opening game. today, i feel her katara. to day i see. at up to day i feel african to day i feel la gay to day i
8:11 am
feel disabled to day i feel a migrant worker. thousands of migrant workers have faced with staff or even died under unexplained circumstances and guitars since the world cup was awarded 12 years ago. infant, you know, argued the world cup and attention around it have helped improve conditions highlighting for pulse potential for change. the only weapon that we have is this is the ball. and we have to try with this to engage, to explain, ah, and to and they was awesome. despite these words of solidarity infant, tina has failed to speak out about a proposed compensation fund for migrant workers that would provide restitution for labor abuses suffered preparing for the world cup even as the tournament that's ready for kick off. if these and other vital topics aren't addressed more seriously, it's unlikely, infantile, or get
8:12 am
a break from the criticism. joining me now from dough high as d w sports correspondent daniel barcelona. danielle, what did you make of jenny infants? he knows criticism. so many people have called infant, he knows press conference, bizarre now he started that out with a lecture to journalist where he said it was time to start focusing on the football and to start moralizing. i mean, we heard, he criticized the west and europe, and he said that there an absolutely no position to be criticizing guitar after what they've done throughout the history. now, the part where people were most confused was where he actually compared his situation to migrant workers. he said that when his family moved from italy to switzerland, he suffered discrimination and bullying because he had red hair and freckles. and i mean for him to compare himself like that to migrant workers, a life. many people shocked. so as much as infant, you know, might like for the focus to be all about football right now,
8:13 am
it feels like the football is kind of taking a back seat to the other, more important social and geopolitical issues. all right, so it is the opening day of the world cup. what is it like being and doha right now? i mean, everywhere you look in, doha is covered in decorations. it's very obvious that could tar. and if they spared no expense in getting ready for this tournament, there are fan fast experiences, concerts, massive player billboards on buildings. so the vibe is very well cut now. we hadn't seen as many fans from europe and south america, but we did see a lot of fans from the region and they told us how excited they were. especially last night round lucel boulevard. they just can't wait for the 1st row cut in an admission to take place. the guitars were out in numbers, dancing with flags. they do have a game tonight, and they're actually expecting a win. so it is the 1st time the host nation is participating in
8:14 am
a world cup. what can you tell us about the team? right, so a lot of people don't know could tar as it for buying nation because it doesn't really have the history of other countries like argentina or brazil or even germany . but i can tell you that guitar have been preparing their for by generation from scratch for the last 20 years. now they're had coach felix sanchez. he's from barcelona as lamar's year academy. he's really been spearheading this project. i can also tell you that guitar is probably the most well prepared team in the tournament. they've been together for the past 8 months in a training camp that is a long time. some players have actually left their clubs and only trained with the national team for this whole time. so there's also the fact that they are the host nation. there is all the buzz and excitement and kind of a dark horse because nobody really knows anything about them. but what i can tell you is, is that they are expecting a when to night against ecuador. all right,
8:15 am
danielle barcelona. in cat r. thank you very much. fully go has a quick reminder of our top story after day. so for bred law can negotiate is at the you and sculpt. 27 climate summit in egypt have approved a historic deal on compensation for vulnerable nations. by the agreement, has one praise many officials said falls short on both loss and damage provisions and of on prevention of planetary warming, by not committing to reducing emissions. which indeed, only news lived from belen, i'll be back in 45 minutes. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation.
