what are the authorities able to do about it, how can they manage the situation it's, it's a huge problem. and the big problem is that now during the winter season, the people rely on electricity for heating. a lot of solutions have been discussed in the past days or more energy saving as one solution, but even evacuating cities and asking people to go abroad over the winter time has been another option. the energy minister said there is no needs to to panic. and so the government is trying to set up these new centers. what they call in invincibility, centers are that will be available for people all over the country. 247 president lensky said that these centers will not only provide free power and water,

9:07 am
around about the peak hour this morning. we've got reports of at least 14 people are injured for critically and one person has to come to those injuries. so there's been one fatality in those attack. so far i had happened as i said, it during a busy peak hour, a rush hour here in jerusalem, just after 7 a m local time where lots of people milling around. and this is obviously come as quite a shock. the security services are who are, you know, keeping a very tight eye on things going on in this region. security is obviously of the utmost importance in, in israel. they have, they were surprised, caught unawares by this attack. have been shaken on many reports here saying that police quite shaken by this attack. they are cracking down the huge police presence in the city as they sweep through and try and prevent any further attacks. police are talking about this being a potential silvo rather than
9:08 am
a single lone attack. now this hasn't happened in israel for some time or something like this so, so an explosive attack hasn't been insane since around about the end of the into far to some 2 decades. ago we've seen more loan attack stabbing attacks, but these, these sort of attacks are rare in recent years. and as i say, have caught the security services by surprise. ok. and so the government is calling this attack, this an attack, but we, we don't have any, any group that has taken responsibility for this yet. have we? that's right. you mentioned her mass there in your introduction. they have praised the attack, but haven't claimed responsibility just prior to coming on air. there were reports that 3 suspects have been apprehended. and as i mentioned, police are considering this to be rather than alone. wolf attack a sort of a cell attack. they believe that these explosives were detonated remote remotely, and they are now investigating these attacks,
9:09 am
taking it obviously very seriously. but they suspect that this could be a wider a wider incident here, as opposed to just a single one off there is talk in the media here of fees of a wave of new terror attacks here in jerusalem. this comes at a time. obviously, we've just had an election here in the country. benjamin netanyahu is any moment now going to swear in his cabinet ministers and take the prime minister ship. he has come out condemning the attack on twitter, saying that we have to crack down. take a hard line against terrorism. what is interesting honor is we've seen this fi, brown politician here, right wing it to mom. ben via now he's angling for the police ministry that would be overseeing the security services. he is angling for that position. we saw him. he was the 1st politician on the see now he said things that we need to take back control of this country of things that he was saying in the campaign. he's going to be looking at taking that position and of course tightens the security services

9:15 am
government says it wants to see a stroke should pull out starting next summer with everything wrapped up by may 2024, and make no mistake. nobody in berlin won't say repeat of last year's chaos during the us led withdrawal from afghanistan than a man with under normal conditions such a withdrawal cannot take place within a few days and weeks. unfortunately, afghanistan was a very, very bad and special situation. but in marley, we want to leave in a very orderly manner, but without disregarding what we feel obliged to do or die in fit and sent selections. a jew in molly, in february 2024. we will remain on the ground beyond this election date. but we will start withdrawing in the summer of next year. next was germany has around a 1000 troops deployed in marley. they carry out recognizance as part of a un peacekeeping mission. but their continued involvement has been sent out after
9:16 am
a series of fall outs with the ruling military jointer or concerns over its deepening relationship with russia. in april foreign minister alena barbara criticized the government urging leaders to end their ties with a group of kremlin back mercenaries known as the volcanic group who were accused of carrying out attacks against civilians. the opponent china to so we cannot continue to work together if there is no distancing from russian forces. and that's not the case at the moment, which is why we cannot continue the mission here in molly as it is here. molly, o is ordinary fort reuben. the foreign minister had been keen to keep the mission in place, particularly with upcoming elections in 2024. but there is little surprised that a compromised decision has now been reached with growing concern over troops, safety, and the reason withdrawal of other european allies, amongst them the french who depart today august. after more than 8 years in marley,
9:17 am
it had been chance the whole of sites is set to address the german parliament shortly about his government spending plans for the coming year. charlotte and his coalition partners have put together a budget worth some 476000000000 euros for 2023. now that includes more money's ukraine, as well as extra funds to help those affected by the cost of living crisis in germany. but the opposition is accusing the government of budgetary trickery as huge multi 1000000000 euros special funds, financed with new debt. on not included in a horn and a double, his chief political correspondent, nina has had joins us now from the german bonus tag, where shots will be speaking at any moment. nina, give us a sense of what we are likely to hear from the german chancellor day. well, olaf says is obviously going to defend his strategy and the budget that is planned
9:18 am
for next year. it is a very special budget. you've already said it that to 476000000000 years are going to go into the regular budget. but what the current government has also done is it has passed a special budget of some 200000000000 euros to help those in need. because be because of the crisis that is caused by russia's invasion and ukraine, and also a 100000000000 euros that are going to go into the military, into the german forces. so these are excluded from their regular budget. and of course, that is something where the opposition are saying you are not really clear in your strategy. you're also not fulfilling what you've promised to voters. but all i've showed is going to say we are dealing with multiple crises. we are having to make really fast decisions, unlike any other government, as since the end of the 2nd world war. the debate has already started. i can see the leader of the opposition speaking. now, do we do?
9:19 am
we know what he's been saying because i mean, one of his and sort of often used criticisms of charlotte says that it's just too little too late as an am in. what's he focusing on well, yeah, the opposition party, those see to you. the conservatives are the biggest opposition in this car and wonders talk. and of course they were in power for 16 years under ungrammatical. we all remember that and the government of all of choice has often criticized angler macro government for not doing enough, essentially. but frederick mass is saying that this current government doesn't understand, understand markets. they don't understand the economy. he also just now in his speech, said that ad there were a hasty decisions that had to be ruled back. so it seems like it's a chaotic government and he also said, for example, that there is no clear strategy when it comes to the defense policy of germany, of the current government. he said left charles has promised that germany will
9:20 am
spend 2 percent of its budget on defense, but the current budget doesn't say that he says of position as the opposition leader says that on the contrast, germany is spending 300000000 less than it was spending before so this is something where possibly we might see an angry chancellor reacting to fibrillation as that's at least something that happened at the last general debate about a here in the bonus tag where usually com, chancellor will have shows, reacted with very strong, was almost with an outbreak of rage after he spoke, when, when he spoke after foolish met, you said that he is usually very calm and he always chance i felt always tries to come across as very calm, very measured, giving the impression that things under control are under control. and yet has really been a time when i've been so many crises to deal with. would you say that people in germany feel reassured that his government is doing a good job?
9:21 am
well, not if you believe the polls, but then polls are not something that will have shows goes by traditionally. he says, i'm doing my job. i'm working hard behind the scenes and then i'm going to present results. and what he has achieved is he has managed to get the support from the opposition and also from federation mats for some of his bigger projects like that special budget for the military, for example. and where they had to change. and our, our constitution essentially is to allow for that to happen. also there's another thing about how to help poor families, they've just now reached a compromise also with the opposition party. so we'll have chart is somebody who works behind the scenes and then brokers compromises behind the scenes and he's not just having to deal with the opposition. he's also the leader of the very 1st 3 way party coalition government. so the liberal f, t p, the greens and his own social democrats, that is
9:22 am
a tricky job in itself. and many people are saying in light of all the multiple crises that germany is facing right now because of russia's invasion. and because of the former, a dependence on russia, especially when it comes to energy supplies, it is quite remarkable that this government is still going and that it is presenting results to the population that also come in the form of cash in people's pockets. the, the german government will be and presenting its budget for the for the next year and a couple of days. what do we know about the, the priorities that the government will be setting in the coming 12 months? well, a lot of it is obviously going to go into i'm trying to get through this winter into trying to make the system work despite all the challenges that germany is facing. so there is going to be a lot of focus on just how to increase our energy sovereignty on,
9:23 am
on the resilience. and this is something where the germany is having to do a lot of homework because the previous governments didn't really look full, tentative. so that is definitely one of the big priorities, but obviously the issue what the core objective and the mission of the german army is, is also something that is going to be debated. we heard about the announced withdrawal from molly by may 2024. so there is a big debate here. we are very close to russia here in berlin, in germany as a whole. what job does the bonus there? the military forces actually have to fulfill? should they invest more in the bond? is there at home, or what is the bond? is that the military forces are the armed forces needed abroad more so that is going to be one of the key debates are probably going to keep us busy or through
9:24 am
next year as well. if we could just talk about ukraine briefly, i mean, we know that more money will be sent to ukraine. and people here in berlin, especially, are feeling the effects of that war with a number of, of refugees that have already come. and that will probably becoming more of them will become and given the, the onset of the, of the winter. how a p people feeling about that in germany. the fact that so much money is being sent there. and the, the fact that so many ukrainians are, are coming to seek shelter. here in germany, i would say that germany has definitely learned a lot of lessons from the crisis that we saw in 2015 when suddenly there well, about a 1000000 people coming from syria into germany. and we all remember there k yasser conditions that people were facing then, and a german bureaucracy has done its job in the sense many people are saying we do
9:25 am
have better structures in place. so the population in general is still very much in support of helping people who are fleeing ukraine also because everybody knows that they just need a temporary shelter. you have to be honest about this. people are expecting many of the ukrainian families to go back as soon as they can, which is also why one of the strategies of the current german government is to help you train rebuild itself and to help. and you train when it comes to rebuilding energy infrastructure so that you train can stay a livable place. lina, i'm going to interrupt you that because we believe that all of schultz is about to start speaking. we'll come back to you, nina, in just a short while. diggity papa didn't and madame alton, fearless booking,
9:26 am
ladies and gentlemen as you miss them out words. however, when i listen to la, just one alone thing, i had to think the highest in one of my courses, the faith decline. what is great, you talk it down and vice versa. what really happened and who is responsible for shipment all about is, is, is becoming a blurred and what seems logical is actually nothing but rubbish. wine and we are on the, in the get one lira go to flaw our energy storage system. we're as empty as never before today. they're full to capacity. play these live wonderfully good because this government doesn't just talk it adults. and because in the spring and fortunate need we didn't sleep on follow you. a suggestion of almost overnight switching off all gas supplies from russia.
9:27 am
douglas from hamlet ordinance upping his guide from what we did instead of i was gradually english go annual and german dependents on gas and coil one year ago. our gas dependency was if you percent beside, on the, at the same time this government shut the door fast as never before in our country made sure that we did have one in eternity in a few weeks time. in northern germany, the 1st energy terminals will start operation the am calling of their gals that has ever gone. we've gone, i who fire department, your bank, found the reserve, the 3 remaining nuclear power plants will continue running until the lakers of rain . and the most important reform on the energy sector in decades was launched by us need that one as we get got that these are government and making sure that renewable energy unnecessary transition grades are all built. and that includes
9:28 am
much faster ever before. and by the way, also the southern part of our country diesel bond, as will it is on the list that government is disappeared. that brings our country up to where we should be a business day time and age when it comes to defense minute. whether it be capable armed forces, after c, d, u. c, su, defense men as their spend many years neglecting our armed forces. aunt does xander her mom, their mom and leaders, we are the special acids set aside for the german armed forces, which we created will enable us to have 80 a proper orderly change of direction we want. and we will spend 2 percent of our economy for the armed forces for break. want to make sure that the plants and the equipment that we need for all that will be new. it's 1st started that we
9:29 am
order. what is right. and that may make sure that the armed forces i equip, in such a way that what they have will work for decades. that's what's linked to this special asset fund. it's a long term plan, rather than fast with p r slow goals. the armed forces deserve us to take good care and to make sure that all the problems that we now deal with it are actually south because we find that it's not enough to say what we need more ammo. because the plants that produce this me a nationwide is no longer operational you. so it's not enough to say we want a bit more of this particular device because it hasn't been produced for some time . now, what we decided has to do also make sure that we can live up to any more challenging situation, and that's what we are going to do with these special assets. this is the diesel bonus mcgill den gig. i know it was a decent government gym tribe which went counter to decades of priorities and
9:30 am
decided to support ukraine with the very weapons they needed in their be brave struggle every day and weeks that stick to that. all standing showed us. she showed up with our closest allies and they were due, so as long as this horrible, dreadful and criminal, we will last awfully over at madison plague russia hassle does not speak, waging of his wants to give her up. and for that, it was very important that the g, 20 summit on barley send out a strong signal towards moscow. and another thing that it was something was all the g traitor members noted. namely, as for any a nuclear threat of tarver is you're totally unacceptable for every one of us accepting the use of these weapons is not for us that we are being me already is even for that is that i know the of the chain of the g 7 i or.
