all these things and more and then you season off the make sure to tune and wherever you get your past and join the conversation, because you know, it love matter. mm hm. ah ah this is the w news live from berman b european parliament votes resoundingly to strip one of his vice president of powers. the greek amy p eva, kylie was arrested in connection with bribery and corruption scandal digital. well kept host top also on the program. a 1000000000 euros for ukraine international terms. got it in paris and pledge knew aid to help the population survived for

winter in the face of russian attacks. well, the science, the weights, the announcement of a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion and revolutionary technology that holds the key to an energy source that is clean and plentiful and excitement built in doha, 1st of all, boiled cup semi final can often tina's passionate fans make the difference in the clash with croatia. we'll go live to cattle. ah, i'm feel gail, welcome to the program. the european parliament has voted to remove one of its vice presidents from office over kylie, where he is being held in jail on corruption charges linked to the gulf states of katara. she's denied the allegations through a lawyer. candles threatened to undermine the parliament's corruption

investigations into several a you member states. she lost her post as a vice president, big greek socialist kaylee remains a member of parliament. and she's one of 6 people arrested by belgian police. 2 of them have been released from custody after questioning 70 in parliament to president roberto met solar says this scandal could go even further. whether it is tightening of our rulers, whether it is inquiring further, whether it is looking at the influence of certain that countries or we will not stop and leave leave no stone unturned. i cannot predict where this will go. but what i can say, i fear, and this isn't a general point of view after our initial findings is that the story will not stop here or put it to our correspondence in strasburg. barbara vase or that this is just the start of an uncomfortable process for the european parliament.

definitely. so i mean, this is just the beginning of the horrors that are yet to follow. you just have to imagine full that the voucher police had wire taps in place for a while on some of those suspects. and we don't really know yet what is going to emerge from news says some sort of for tasty details. have been in the belgian press for instance, say the wife or one of the suspects talking about 200000 euro holiday that they had last year. and this year they would have to be a bit more modest. now, those are the things that are really noxious. for the european parliament, because people citizens who are hard pressed in these times of inflation, they will look at this and say, what are they doing there? this is disgusting, their corrupt and then it's really something that sort of thing. so with the light on the whole parliament and not only on the people who are really actively engaged in that corruption. right, so ever, kylie has now lost her role, her job as a, as

a vice president of the parliament. she clearly has questions to answer. but it does sound as though she's being punished before she says she has actually been found guilty, but she's still in police detention. so that means that a belgian judge judge must, after checking out the facts and the evidence be convinced her that she is guilty enough to be further investigated and maybe go to court. so that in a case in a wage is enough for the european parliament. and there was so much anger here and frustration of parliamentarians that they was almost unanimously voted against her and to kick her out of her office today. because people just feel they don't want to be drawn into this, they want to distance themselves from her. and so the presumption of innocence has ended on the weekend. i'm afraid when the police took her in what will emerge on the, on the judicial side from this. of course we don't know yet. but politically,

the socialist, the greek socialist 2 still parliamentarian is absolutely finished. right. so lots of people are throwing their hands up in horror. i'm sorry, this is terrible, but we, we have the discovery of on that corruption followed by arrest the promise of further investigations and reforms. you could look at this and say, well, this is not a disaster, mrs. proof that the system works. the system hasn't worked, but because the system of the parliament hasn't worked to figure this out much earlier because this has been going on for months. i mean, this has been going on last year for as far as we know. so this is a longer standing scandal. this has just evolved over time. and i and a lot of money has been handed over. we're at a cool 1000000 at the moment. we don't know yet whether they're going to be secret bank accounts and other stuff to be found. so know the system of parliament to prevent this has not worked at all. they didn't figure it out, even though there was suspicions against e for kylie,

because she was so incredibly pro katara. but nobody now to paris where international donors are meeting and they've pledged a 1000000000 euros in a to help ukrainian survive the winter. ukraine is represented at the meeting by prime minister, and he says she will. how are the money will mainly go towards keeping the civilian population fed and warm. russian missile attacks of left millions without water power or heat loss during our correspondent that lisa lewis, who is at those talks in paris are welcome at lisa. so how does this extra 1000000000 that's been a pledge compared with what ukraine actually needs must zalinski. he spake this morning at the beginning of this international conference, and he put his own finger on the table that was 800000000 euros. as you can see, 1000000000 is above that. what, what's really important now is that ukraine does not only need money. they need

other supplies, they need generators, they need gas turbines, they need spare parts. they need, you know, help with civil engineering, with engineering services. and that is exactly what the dozens of countries that have come together and the international organizations that also came together this morning here a have promised to ukraine to it looks like, or at least when you look at the paper on the paper, it looks like a ukraine is really getting what it is asking for at this very moment. okay. and that is brought into distress and we're talking about civilian aid. we're not talking about at tanks and weapons, but this is the 4th of these that ukraine don't conferences this year. is there anything different about this from the other 3? well, there is actually, you know, the temperatures are dropping is getting cold and i'm only here in paris, but also in ukraine, obviously. and as a president my, my car has been underlining over the past few days. and today again,

russian and military is and they are targeting civilian infrastructure, electricity infrastructure, mr. zalinski and today said that 12000000 ukrainians are not connected to the power grid right now. so there is a lot of urgency to provide very fast hub support for these people that are struggling. you know, that they don't have light, they don't have heating in ukraine. and that's exactly what international donors a want to help with. and there's also one other thing at the international community has put in place what they call a platform, a coordination platform, to better coordinate what q crane needs and what the different countries have already provided. so that it really fits to that, the ukranian purpose, what the international community is providing for the country. and with allegations are also meeting business leaders. what's being discussed there

exactly their meeting here. they can amik ministry. a right now, $700.00 companies have come together. french companies that are either already active in ukraine or want to, to work in the country. what this is about, it's not just about reconstruction after the war is also about being active now, helping with reconstructing the country while the war is still ongoing. when zones of ukraine, certain areas are liberated, they want to reconstruct the economy. they are the electricity infrastructure bridges, railways, there were an, a few agreements assigned here today, a, with a figure of 100000000 euros in different sectors. and lots of french companies are determined to participate in this reconstruction effort as m, i call the french president, put it, he said ukraine can only be reconstructed if it has a strong economic backbone that is already there when the war finally ends.

you for that at least louis in paris. russia has repeatedly hit civilian infrastructure since the year started this invasion in february, attacks of left millions in the dark and cold as we've been hearing. are you crank correspondent? dick commonly takes a look now at the support ukraine has been promised and what's actually being delivered. ready. okay. in a vital continued support. ukraine, for as long as it takes since the very beginning of the war. we were very hard together in order to help rain, to resist, and to be resilient. and we, the european union stand here by them in these very difficult times, as long as it takes how generous if european governments really been 9 months into this warren, it's doorstep. and europe has only just caught up with the united states. the queue ensued, the world economy to the you and your pink governments have now together pledged

52000000000 euros. barry, 48000000000 in the u. s. that might sound like a lot, but it's less than a 10th of what they use spending when its own post coverage recovery program. and then there's the question of timing. experts criticize that it can take months for promises and out front of the t. v cameras and keep to actually materialize. and now at least you can government can to afford to patch up basic infrastructure after each new russian attack. but many here and ukraine, where they're countries in such bad shape. they might soon need to put on a whole different level just to carry on. and that's even before anyone starts counting, the cost of eventually rebuilding europeans will be asked to make good on that promise to help for as long as it takes. and that could be decades is look at some of the store making headlines around the world. some bank been free, the founder of the failed f. t. x. crypto currency exchange has been arrested in the bahamas after being charged by us,

prosecutors. the 30 year old was under investigation by us on behavioral authorities on the collapse of f t x. last month. you are a secretary of state on to the blink, and has opened a summit, where the african leaders in washington the conference brings together heads of state from across the continent. present. joe biden is due to address the gathering voters of brazil's outgoing president shire ball sonata tried to enter police headquarters in the capital, brazilian just to set fire to vehicles as a court confirmed that. fernando last october runner is left with rivalry in mass. you let us sunset landslides triggered by heavy rains of killed at least 50 people in the con, gleese capital kent, shasta police say the death toll is likely to rise. major roads, including a key supply route, have been submerged. major scientific breakthrough and

nuclear fusion has been announced in the united states. after more than 60 years of research. the 1st time a nuclear fusion experiment appears to have produced more energy and we needed to start the process. hope continue development could create an inexhaustible source of clean energy using involves the same process that gives the sun advantage experts a morning and it will be many years before the technology is ready for commercial use. we'll talk to rob scott's a senior further assistant britain central laser facility, he described this development as meant as a momentous achievement. i asked him to explain why. so, i mean, the thing about, you know, with fusion, there really is the holy grail of fusion research. so getting more energy out and what whichever source you know, that failed. so in this case they've been getting more and yet was it really that

in the holy grail, excuse me, sash good decade now add them to the last 5 decades. the seventy's later about because then the reason for that is, you know, she can be the ultimate power source, but in order to make it work in need to get past this now more energy in. all right, so this is where we go back to, to, to traffic lessons. can you explain to us, in layman's terms, what fusion is and how it produces this inexhaustible energy fusion is basically the power coldest on leaving our son. and the way it works and they have to get, you know, to few athens, there's types of hydrogen codes, interior tritium. and we have to get them up to incredibly high speeds so that when they live into each other, they actually join together the way that we get him up to the very high speed. and

by heating the few lot to call the matter, we get these particles moving too quickly actually joined together. and then these 2 light particles then transform into the neutron and sophie concilium. and what a key thing is, the mass of these 2 particles produced is likely last in the math over the, the few parkins, and from 90 degrees in e equals n t squared. what we're doing is we're taking you tiny needed to mass from the few tiny into a huge amount of energy to be this equation. so we're able to deliver a huge mess of energy, this reaction. all right, so you back to school to particles together. that combined mass is less than that they than you would expect. and that difference is the energy that is produced. and

the, the product is what says by products is basically a neutral which is called the energy. and just from the helium, which is to gas, i mean, so i mean both x learners, the basics of our fusion works the way it works. there is a fusion which is what this and i 7 more days we actually essentially he talked outside of a very small sphere just about reciting popcorn with all different directions. what that does is it expands that it's an create, this practice the shuttle in woods creating some. so i called close and no contract and so much it shrinks down the side of the human hair. and by that twitter, so dense. and so she created the same condition with the center of the sun, and then at that point it starts that fusion burning. put right bands back, trip, trillion the 2nd got and then it expands again. the reactions finished. so that's

why i was asking about the, the by products because in 200 years, are we going through a similar process as we're going through now with carbon based fuels that the power the industrial revolution looking around in essence and thinking, well, what will we thinking back then so this is the dtn creation. yes. it doesn't have any to train radioactive waste in the same way that sufficient waste not create regulated waste with fusion radio. and one of the very nice potentially you can actually use the fusion, the action to what's called the know old fission radio, radioactive waste, which is after the translation reacted they can actually get rid of by this thing, right? right. well, generating, you know, ultimate energy storage, which is carbon free, safe, secure on a

sir, dr. robbie scott, from the britons as central laser facility, talking to me and learning the usaa energy department. as i've just made that announcement, here's what they said. today we're here to talk about fusion combining to particles into one last week at the lawrence livermore national laboratory and california scientists at the national ignition facility achieved fusion ignition. and that is creating more energy from fusion reactions than the energy used to start the process. it's the 1st time it has ever been done in a laboratory. anywhere in the world. simply put, this is one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 21st century. you're going to want to remember where you were when the announcements, when you heard that announcement more. of course, i'm as we get it here at

d. w. now, to new zealand, where it would be smokers are going to find it difficult to indulge the habit a new law bands. anyone currently under 15 from legally purchasing tobacco ever. i mean, future generations will not be allowed to buy cigarettes. but factors will also have to make their products less addictive. no one born after 2008 will ever be allowed to buy secrets in new zealand. by the many hopes the new law will put people off smoking brought us to. there is no good reason to allow a product to be sold, that kills half the people that use it. and i can tell you that we will in this, in the future as we pass this legislation. this bill will create generational change, and it will leave a legacy of better health for our youth. tobacco companies will have to deduce

nicotine in secret to levels that will no longer cause addiction. they will also be fewer seals outlets, kiosk owner use of muscle. he felt a smoker fears. he blew thiel to the black market. he faced the new law course too far. there can't tell me what to do. why my choice. it's my freedom. to the way, if i want allison, i don't do anything against the law. it's my freedom, my choice. there will be no penalties for smoking less harmful alternatives, such as a thicket. it's hoped that by 2025 fewer than one in 20 new the lenders will still be smokers. ah, now argentina made krasier in a few hours in the 1st of the football woke up semi finals. lena massey's argentina

came into the tournament as one of the favorites. but croatia were runners up in 2018 and have already knocked out title content. as brazil, i'll be hoping to deal argentina. i'm major upset. oh, you do has to go far into hard to find cheering argentina fans. their vocal support is one of the reasons argentine or a favorites to reach this tournaments fine. oh. but this man, croatia coats that co damage wants to use that to his country's advantage. you got it. we're playing the great argentina. a terrific team lead by lino messy. they're highly motivated, but they're under far more pressure than us at the moment. so us go into north cook pressure not least because this is shirley massey's final chance to get his hands on the world cup trophy at his 5th attempt. he is argentina's star man and has the

hopes of a country on his shoulders. but and so does this, and matter can be done in italy that day. as he cannot simple, he tapped in our leader, he's always pushing us and motivating us all. he has that special advantage. and when we're on the pitch, we know we have messy and that's a great source of motivation. it helps us and you always know you can do more. ah expects these fans to bring the noise again on tuesday night loud and passionate argentina, hoping not to be silenced by a croatia team. it is no stranger to spoiling the party. ah, well, i suppose corresponded tonya barcelona in doha. talk me through the prospects of tonight's world cup clash. croatia can definitely pull off another upset against argentina. i mean they're very, very good side. they're very difficult to play against. and they know that

argentina is going to be favored coming into this match. of course they will have the momentum of the stadium on their side, but that's actually when croatia produces some of their best moments in tournament is when their backs are against the wall. they're going to be very organized and compact. and actually if the game does go into extra time, croatia are kind of experts on that either. last, 9 knockout games have gone into extra time and now there are 4 for 4 on penalties. so if anyone can handle it, it's croatia for lots of people. argentina against croatia, it means that leonor massey versus lucas mod rich. what can we expect from those 2? i mean, messy and moderate are to absolute legends of the game. both of them are chasing the world cup trophy for the 1st time in their careers. massey, of course, 35, moderate, 37, very key players for their teams are messy. he's more of a prolific goal score. obviously,

one of the best players of all time capable of producing those moments of magic and making a difference for argentina. moderate. he hasn't scored as many goes as massy, of course, because he operates from a little bit deeper in the mid field. he really dictates the speed of the game. he wins back possession for croatia. so different players. but super important. also, they're kind of connected because when messy scored his 1st goal for argentina, moderate actually was making his debut for croatia. so special game for both of them. i'm. we heard about the argentina fans and i last report. how important are they going to be 2 argentina's chances? i mean, i didn't. tina fans are amazing that are so many of them here in doha, of course, especially because it's probably going to be massey's last rod caught. and they're really excited about that. i mean, they really bring that love that joy for football to doha. i mean, we heard the song in the report, they're always singing in their dancing. they have drums when you hear them all

seeing that in the stadium, you get goosebumps. so the momentum will be huge. off the pitch of course, they're always ready to share their joy and their love for both other people. i mean, i played football with some of them on a beach at a day with jack my team together. so really special environment here. argentina fans have been pretty amazing this entire tournament. i could hear from you tanya, barcelona in. doha. thank you. may remind you of our top stories at this hour. european parliament has voted to remove one of its vice presidents from office. eva kylie is being held in jail on corruption charges linked to cut off. she has denied the allegations and u. s. department of energy has announced a major breakthrough that could provide a new source of reliable clean energy researches in california saying they've achieved a net energy game during that nuclear fusion experiments. for the 1st time in history. a get, you know, always get to
