we explain how these technologies work, how they can work for but how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. with this is being able to use a live from by nature, promises to increase aid for ukraine as when to sad,

saying late is of the military alliance and meeting in romania and promising more military equipment fuel and medical supplies. and the w is that also on the program, beijing cracks found hard on protest against it, 0 cobit policy, least target individual campaigners and check cell phones for evidence of illegal activity. agrees a major deal to supplied gas to germany as you look for alternatives to russian energy supplies. and at the football world, coughing tar, iran and usa fans gather to watch a match that walks the line between sports human rights and politics. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. nato allies have promised to increase a to ukraine as he pass for a tough into 'cause by moscow's bombing of its energy infrastructure,

foreign ministry. the foreign ministers from the military alliance are in romania discussing how best to support keith. no specific. so yes, you merge, but with millions of ukrainians now without power and heating expected to provide military equipment to fuel generators and medical supplies. the alliance, the secretary general. yes. yes, sultan accused russia weapon, isaac winter, preston. the person is failing in ukraine. he is responding with more a brutality attacking a gas infrastructure power lines and trying to deprive ukrainian or over water. electricity lights are on duty, therefore we need to support ukraine. of course, what we see is that the president, putin is trying to use winter asa weapon the war

which is the thing, a lot of suffering on the premium. and people like our respondents, alexander phenomena, is up back to a meeting in the romanian capital, bucharest at welcome to alexandra up. so what can we expect from this meeting? well, we expect to their foreign ministers here in bucharest to issue a strong statement in support of ukraine. a statement that is suppose to send the message that to need to allies are not backing down on their assistance. so on the contrary, that they are ready to ramp up their efforts to help you crane, and there will be talking about non lethal assistance, for instance, drone jamaris about fuel material to be provided to clean. but the quick question here is, of course, whether there will be any new pledges with regards to a happy weapons with regards to air defense systems. and that is of course what you

queen needs right now. when do you see the constant ration attacks on the ukrainian cities that's been taught for weapons manufacturers in nato members at the having difficulties increasing our production to sort of war capacity? how big a problem is, is going to be for ukraine? ah, well, i don't think that this problem is now affected ukraine and we have to be fair here . there are still waiting for have the weapons that were promised to then weeks ago . for instance, janet germany has committed to delivering for iris t systems, air defense systems, and only one so far is opperation on the battlefield. so, but in the long term, this is of course a source of concern. as sir, the stock piles in natal members are shrinking and manufacturing are having a hard time to replenish those stockpiles. it could be

a problem and long term, and we also have to consider their needs of the alliance. the incident in poland to miss iow strike there are 2 weeks ago has also shown how important it is to strengthen nato capabilities on its eastern flank. i and nato ministers later foreign ministers that are also talking about supplying non lethal agencies to britta winter sat st across ukraine. yes, said they will be talking how you queen can be supported. because of course, they know that the country is facing a cold and probably very difficult dark winter. we just mentioned the constant attacks by the russian army on the countries power grid. so they will be trying to coordinate their efforts to provide blankets, generators, and bigger transformers. to make sure that ukraine is can

survive this winter. right. and there's also germany as to say there, there are sort of meetings with in meetings going on here on germany, which is holding the, the g 7 presidency is organizing a meeting of g 7 leaders on the sidelines of these talks, they're looking at screening of the repair of ukraine's energy infrastructure and what sort of assistance is likely to come out of that? i think that the key question there is to provide ukraine with a substantial financial aids. so they are that they are able to rebuild their power grids because up to 20 to 30 percent are already destroyed. so that is important. however, some critics here are saying that to this and meeting bad sir, germany and the u. s. has invited to have invited to is coming to late. that is too little, too late. what allies i have trying to do here because of some critics say it could

be expected that russia would be trying to use winter, and the cold weather as a weapon and this war bag without alexandra alexander from nomine in bucharest, or expecting the nato secretary general against dalton berg to talk to the press in the next half hour or so, and we hope to bring that to you live. so do stay with us or right now we'll join our correspondent nick connelly, who's in the ukrainian capital. welcome, nick. what are ukrainians? are hoping for from this latest at nathan meeting. well yeah, interesting enough here in ukraine. this is a topic that basically hasn't been featuring in people's social media feeds today. previously, near b, cranes were very, very keen to see what nato was saying about potential ukrainian nato. membership that is just all so far off the people are just looking at the sky, seeing if there's going to be another rocket attack or not. but we have heard from

ukraine for mr. mitchell caliber who said, basically he expects to things of nature at this summit. transformers, so electrical grid infrastructure and patriot patriot missile system, the anti aircraft, anti missile system that is basically the most high tech system in used by nature countries right now that hasn't been handed over to ukraine so far. they've been lots of different excuses that it's basically too complex requires too much training and essentially too expensive to send in any great scale. but right now, there's interesting case been going on where the germans, after that missile fell, or on a polish village, just 2 weeks ago, they offered to send a missile system to poland border with ukraine to which the polls said no, send it to ukraine, where it's really needed, you can protect us and nature better by putting that system on ukrainian territory . that's also something that the ukrainians will be very happy to see. we haven't seen any willingness to go there yet. from the gym and government, they seemingly aware that this would be an escalation that this would be, you know, nita equipment on the ground probably operated. we're needing to be operated by

nato countries cruise. but there is definitely a sense here in ukraine that nato lots of western european countries just don't get it. they don't get on what scale this war is being fought there, too slow, even they promised if it comes weeks and months later, and they're just not sending the kind of number of munitions the number systems needed given how intense the fighting isn't. just how can relentless the forest and there have been multiple warnings from ukrainian leaders that said i might see more russian air strikes. are our things looking for now there hasn't been the kind of shoot strike that we saw last week. i think that doesn't make anyone feel much better here. there is very definitely that expectation that there is more to come, that russia has more rockets to throw it ukraine and it's going to do more to attack the energy systems. here. it is true that basically every time that they attack ukraine's energy system, it takes longer to repair. now we're kind of a weak on from the last one and it's things that kind of slowly getting back to normal. but there's definitely been

a lot of activity at you crate at russian rather airfields russian ships the black sea with missiles out on the, on the sea. so that if the, the expectation here that there is more to come, as you can see here, it's pretty cold and things going to get golden data come. so more expectation of attack. so thank you. nick at nick connelly in keith. take a look now it's about stories making news around the world. the iranian army is put, the number of people killed in nationwide demonstrations that more than 300. that's much lower than estimates from rights groups of protests of rock the country since the death in custody of a young woman who was arrested by iran, so called morality police officials on hawaii's big island are urging people to be ready to leave. if lava flows change direction, mount a lower, the world's largest active volcanoes erupting for the 1st time in 40 years. lava flows are far from homes at the moment, but scientists are warning that they can change direction quickly. truck drivers

and south korea have shave their heads in protest at a government order to end a strike. thousands have been refusing to work because they want to hire minimum wages, actions disrupted supply chains and construction sites. the reports are emerging from china that authorities are seeking out people who took part in the weekends. anti lock down protests as beijing deploy, more security forces to clamp down on demonstrations against it. 0 covert policy, frustration, and nearly 3 years of testing and restrictions which have set china apart from the rest of the world. as far to read public descent, police have responded by increasing patrols and universities, sending students home in an effort to prevent them from taking part in rallies. solidarity protest have also been held outside chinese embassies around the world. william hearst is professor of chinese politics at the university of cambridge. we

asked him how widespread the demands for political change. our it's extremely difficult to say because what we've also seen occasionally happen is that when some protesters say something like that, others in the same crowd will start singing the national anthem or shouting that, no, no, they don't agree with that. so i think the more true extreme, or general the claims become, the less able they are to actually capture and hold together this broad coalition of different groups that are in fact aggrieved, about lockdown and other things. so the other thing that's happening is that the state is beginning to turn up the pressure in terms of at least signaling the possibility of repression. most of what they've brought in have been what i would call a nuisance measures, putting up barricades and streets where protests have happened, making it difficult for people to get their stopping people and looking at phones, deleting images of protest checking ideas. the other thing they've been doing that

it's rather interesting is they've apparently been tracking down people who were captured on video at protests using or facial recognition, or other means i don't know exactly how they're doing it, but they're tracking down people who've been at the protest calling them on the phone and asking them some questions about what they were doing, why they were there, whether they planned to keep protesting and so on. they haven't actually threatened them as far as i know, nor of they arrested people through that means. but it's a clear signal that the police are watching and that things could turn far more repressive, and that may be enough to deter a lot of people from turning out. professor william hurst, cambridge university of thousands of people in syria have been protesting against attacks on kurdish groups in syria and iraq and iran have intensified action against the kurds in rounds launch. drugs strikes on the rack, walter, he has hit what he calls kurdish millicent post in syria. so he has also announced plans from the ground offensive. when mohammed sully man drives through his village

near the turkish border, it's like driving through a ghost town. the syrian curd says nearly every one has fled from here. the attacks of the last few days left no other choice were not known with the jim though we were bombed by turkish drones. why our families have lived here for hundreds of years. there's no military presence here in the village. nobody from the syrian democratic forces them. nobody from the p k. k. sunny feels either those groups or kurdish militias and political parties. turkey blamed them for a bomb attack and ist and bull. 2 weeks ago that killed 6 allegations, the kurds deny circus. artillery is already firing at kurdish positions in syria, trying to enlarge a buffer zone. turkey says it wants to stop so called terrorists from crossing the border. but many curds said, is the turks who are the terrorists,

the head of the get it so the church of state be allowed to continue its fascist occupation policy and massacre. people were shedding. let's tell them that we are prepared. what that our armed forces are ready for a big war to wake either we shaded yard or we can. it's a bitter pill for the kurds of syria and a rock after they made huge sacrifices fighting the so called islamic state demonstrators in this border town. say that if the west abandons the kurds now, it will betray its former partners. ok, taos energy minister has announced a long term agreement to supply germany with liquefied natural gas. the 15 year deal will deliver 2000000 tons every year from 2026 u. s. companies, conoco phillips will transport the fuel bye. see germany's efforts and securing gas supplies after russia's invasion of ukraine may be bearing fruit. katara has committed to a 15 year contract with

a u. s. company to delivered liquefied natural gas, or ellen gee, to germany's plants burton port on the north sea coast from 2026. got our energy and canoga phillips signed 2 agreements, promising ellen gee imports up to 2000000 tons annually. this is catherine 1st major supply deal with germany or the 1st 15 uses. great. these obviously seem to be good conditions. i wouldn't mind 20 years or longer contracts at all, but the companies just have to know that the declining side and germany will then decrease at some point if we want to meet the climate protection targets that as well known. the count harvick also said german companies are securing flows from different suppliers, and katara is just one of them. the gulf nation has the world's 3rd largest gas reserves behind russia and iran. this gives, though, hire the her on an edge in energy exports. the latest gas deal with germany come

soon after cut are also signed a long term deal with china spanning 27 years. law political correspond, julius, our deli, told me about the likely effect this deal on german energy consumers. well, we know that the amount of gas the car is now expected to deliver, will not be enough to substitute the gas that was coming in from russia, but also to just in general, fulfill all of germany's gas needs. there are some estimates that point to the fact that the gas out of guitar will amount to less than 5 percent of germany's total need for gas. but it is one of the building blocks of the strategy brought forward by the german government to try to find alternative sources of gas that have to substitute the gas that is now not coming from russia anymore. and we've seen the government pursuing this strategy in the last few months. we've seen

a german economy minister of about how big travel to guitar with a business delegation with leaders of energy companies from germany all the way back in march. we've seen german chancellor all of shows travel to the gulf states in september. now the, these agreements like the agreement that was announced today or not signed between the governments of guitar in germany, but between the energy companies of these countries. but still, the german government has shown that it has facilitated this deal and make sure that it happens. but how does the german government respond to these accusations of double standards criticizing calls, human rights record while doing this energy deal? at the same time? well, the german government is certainly in a difficult position because a whole, but how big the economy minister himself has said that he finds it a crazy idea, for example, that the football world cup is taking place in co. tar,

but germany does need the gas and how big himself end chancellor olive shots have defended the need for a gas deal with guitar. if we look at guitars and gas reserves, they are the 3rd biggest in the world after russia and after iran. now if you look at human rights situations and all of these countries, germany has positioned itself against and criticize these countries for their human rights situation. so germany is a bit between a rock and a hard place on this, but they have decided to go ahead with the deal even despite the criticism. judas are deli, thank you so much. chris more headlines from around the world of all the president of the indian ocean island of commodus has been sentenced to life in prison for high treason. a court convicted abdullah sam b of illegally selling passports to state was people in gulf countries. i'm who was accused of pocketing millions of dollars. united nation says australia,

to advance to the knockout stage. but with iran currently rocked by unrest. the games taking on even most political significance than usual for many iran fans this world carpets become a rallying coal for something bigger than football. women lie freedom and no to the anti government protests going on back home. and that call is extended to the team who stood silent during the anthem in their opening game. the players families have reportedly been threatened over the apparent act of solidarity. meanwhile, some protesters accused the team of not doing enough. the man failed in the questions around portuguese coach carlos. queer us is having to choose his words carefully either if we could talk about to a human rights race, either kids that died schools or would shootings, we are fully buried with all those causes. but here, our mission is,

bring the smile for the, for the people, at least for nike, min quiroga was responding to a question about a social media post by the u. s. t. in it. the emblem of the islamic republic was removed from the iran flag. the post since delete it was in support of women in iran that in turn has led to accusations of west and hypocrisy. are you okay to be representing the us? meanwhile, there's so much discrimination happening against black people in america. there's discrimination. her everywhere you go, ah, you know, one thing that i've learned, especially from living abroad in the past years and i having to fit in different cultures and, and kinda assembly into different cultures. ah, is that in the us? we're, we're continuing to make progress every single day. as long as you see progress. that's the most important thing. the m a deft answer from adams ahead of a football match that will be even more political than usual. it's got more or less

from it. is brooke from dw sport. welcome mathias. so iran versus usa, one of the tools was politically charged games as we've seen as what has been crucial on the pitch. absolutely. so we for destroyed and the report, there's political tension there, but it's a crucial match on the field because usa currently in 3rd sport and iran in 2nd sport, which means in this group which is wide open usa have to win this game. a draw wouldn't be enough, so iran under but less pressure. but the usa came into this group with the ambition to go through to the knockout stage. and right now they have this grocery games against iran to secure that 2nd spot. u. s. a. at a very decent game, the last game against england with a new new draw. i think they will happy with it. and iran coming with a lot of momentum of this last minute victory against wales. so these teams played once before at a woke up, which was 1998 in france. and in this game, they even exchanged flowers before the game and they post for photos together. the

fee for later awarded both countries, the fair play award for that, and many iranians still seed as the biggest achievement in the history of their football. so they're really hoping that the iranians can replicate that today, but it will be a $5050.00 game. so you as a slight favorite, but iran could easily go through as well. ok, the other group be game is england against wales, england. the favorites are absolutely england. clear favorites here. wales. just a little bit of a chance to go through, so they have to be to england and have to hope that the iran versus u. s. a game will finish in a draw, but it seems with wales if garrath bail, the superstar is not on. then wales are just really not finishing the yeah, the pos up front and not finishing for gold. so garetsville is on well to the chance if you're with bill is not really in the game like he was in the last game than england should be dominant with that power. jude bellingham, in mid field, absolutely stunning performance at that young age. and harry came the captain carrying the steam. they want to bounce back as well after that no,

no against the u. s. a, which i'm sure they weren't happy with after that 1st game, which 162 against iran. and they want to keep, that will meant i'm going into the knockout stage. england, the clear favorite here and wales little bit of hope, but i think they're almost as good as eliminated. ok, this is brooke, date of this book. thank you so much. on mondays action portugal field as part of the last 16 after 2 pro fernandez goals and b o t a y 2. now after goal this 1st half political dominated the 2nd christiane. every now there was just a distraction during this cross from fernandez and other didn't touch the ball but went in and said or to go on the road to victory. monday's other group h, match a gun, a saw off a fight back from south korea to win 32 gun, this victory maze. i'll go through to a knockout stage with a win against order go. i and that final group gain

a job would also be enough to see them through. if south korea don't be portugal, brazil in switzerland are faced off in monday's, a group, g actions since each one their 1st game a draw would have. all right, i listen, i'm going to add that. and what we're going to do now is that join is joined, just oldenburg, who is giving a press conference, speaking in bucharest, preston to since is using winter weapon his weapon icing winter for this just making it even more important to support your crane and also of course we're looking forward to meet you later on today. i'm to discuss further. could you so please. thank you. yes. the last time i was invited to the nathan ministerial, i came with 3 words which were weapons, weapons, and weapons. and a lot has been done since then in helping ukraine to equip army was necessary

weapons. and you've seen how we deliver this weapons, help us to liberate our territories, to safe people from toward sheriffs. and this is regarding treatment by the russian occupational forces. so i would like to thank you and the alliance as a coordinating force that allowed necessary weapons to make it to ukraine. today, i have 3 different war. 33, other words which are foster, foster and foster. we appreciate what has been done, but the war goes on. we proved that we can defeat russia. we prove that we can win together in the interests of the entire euro, atlantic space and the world is the right to dimension. decisions on weapons decision on launching fuel production lines of weapons in western countries. they

have to be made, foster and deliveries of weapons have to make have to be done foster. and this is what we're discussing here today was ministers, how dual speed up everything. and of course i think it will be probably the 1st need to me, serial where issues of energy security will be as important as of heart security. yes, transformers, generators and other equipment are very important. and in this sense, a comprehensive assistance packet shrunk by nato and coordinated by the secretary general is playing a very important role, or this non military assistance to ukraine, to help us get through the winter. so to got story long, we need air defense, iris, hopes, patriots, and we need transformers. when we have transformers and generators, we can restore our system, our energy agreed,

and provide people with decent leaving conditions. which president put in this, trying to deprive them of when we have air defense systems, we will be able to protect this infrastructure from the next russian missile strikes. and they are definitely to come. unfortunately, this is the reality that we have to prepare for. so in a nutshell, patriots and transformers is what ukraine needs the most. and we're discussing it here in bucharest, of in the media studio. thank you. just a brief statement that from a dmitri collabo, ukrainian.
