ah ah ah ah this is d, w is live from for the european parliament votes resoundingly to strip one of its vice president of her powers. the greek m. e p. eva kylie was arrested in connection with bribery and corruption scandal linked to world cup. i was cut off also on the program, a 1000000000 euros for you cry. international donors gather in paris and pledge new

aid to help the populations survive the winter to the face of russian attacks. eureka moment for energy research is in california, the u. s. finance is a breakthrough, a nuclear fusion scientist data development could paint away to a clean energy future and excitement bills in doha, supposed to football world cup semi final and argentina's. passionate fans make a difference in the clash with croatia. ah i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. the european parliament is voted to remove one of its vice presidents from office over. kyla is being held in j. a long corruption charges linked to the gulf states of tar. she's denied the allegations through her lawyer. the scandal threatened to undermine investigations into several

european union member states, and so she has lost her vice presidential post. the greek socialist kylie remains a member of parliament. she's one of 6 people arrested by belgian police. 2 of them have been released after questioning. 70 years he said, call the president of the parliament to robert. i met sola says, the scandal could go even further. whether it is tightening of our rules, 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 is in a general point of view after our initial findings is that the story will not stop here. so i put it to our correspondent to barbara valan strasburg. 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 bureau 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 ava, 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 fact, sent the evidence, be convinced her that does she is guilty enough to be further investigated and may be a 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 and saying this is terrible, but we, we have the discovery of all 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, this is 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 were suspicions against e for kylie,

because she was so incredibly pro cutter, but nobody even thought that she would be taking money for her services. so what has worked is in the belgian police and the belgian justice system. and that, but certainly for parliament can not be good enough. thank you. about barbara barbara vessel in strasburg. international donors meeting in paris have pledged a 1000000000 euros in a to help you cranium, survive the winter. the crane is represented at meeting by prime minister. attorney says, show me how the money will make me go towards keeping the civilian population fed and warm russian miss. our attacks have left millions without water power or heat. the w correspondent lisa louis is at the conference in paris as to how the 1000000000 euros pledged compares with the amount 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'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 i have promised to ukraine, said, looks like 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 go to 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. opposite. 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 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, that they doubt 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 ukraine knees 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, 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. thank you for that. at least louis in paris la money of course, is needed because i repeated russian attacks on civilian infrastructure since it invaded ukraine in february of left millions in the cold and dark and annex report ukraine correspondent, commonly compares the support ukraine has. so far been promised with what it's actually received. randy 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 build a grant 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 of european governments really being 9 months into

this warn it's doorstep in europe is early just caught up with the united states. the keel in suits of the world economy says that you and european governments have now together pledged 52000000000 euros barrel. 48000000000 from the u. s. that might sound like a lot, but it's less than a 10th of what the ear is spending on its own post covered recovery program. and then there's the question of timing. experts criticize that it can take months for promises and outs in front of the t. v cameras and keep to actually materialize. now, at least, ukraine's government can still afford to patch up basic infrastructure after each new russian attack. but many here in ukraine where he there countries in such bad shape, they might soon need support on a whole different level. just to carry on and that's even before anyone starts counting, the cost of eventual rebuilding. europeans will be asked to make good on their promise to help for as long as it takes that could be decades. is look at task more stories making headlines around the world. johnson landslides

it. so for development could one day create an inexhaustible source of clean energy . fusion involves the same process. it gives the sun it's energy, but experts of war that it will be many years before the technology is ready for commercial use. or the head of the usaa energy department at jennifer granholm announced the breakthrough today we're here to talk about fusion. combining 2 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. will dr. robbie scott is a senior physicist at britain's central laser facility. i asked him to explain why he describes development as a momentous achievement. so i mean, the thing about, you know, with fusion, this really is the greater la fusion research to getting more energy out and what you wish every source you know, be it like that failed. so in this case, laser is getting more and yet was it has really that in the holy grail, the research project, it's happened to the last 5 decades, the seventy's later about because then the reason to 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, so it is more energy in. all right, so this is where we go back to,

to, to, to our physics 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 you have to get, you know, to few, athens or 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 you get to the very high speed by hitting the few law to call the mattress. and we get these particles moving too quickly, actually joined together. and then these 2 light particles then transform into neutron and sophie concilium. and what

a key thing is the mass of these 2 particles to jesus. likely last in the math over the, the few parkins and from 9 equation equals m t squared. what we're doing is we're taking a tiny distance 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 math 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 neutron, which is called the energy. i'm just helium, which is to gas. i mean, so, i mean both of them is the basics of fusion, works the way it works. it lays a fusion, which is what this 7 more days. we actually essentially re,

he talked outside of a very small sphere, just recite popcorn with all different directions. what that does is it expand that it's creates this press the shuttle in, we're creating some so i called closure and compressed so much it shrinks down the side of the human hair 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. i tell you 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 deterioration. yes. that it doesn't

have any trade radioactive waste in the same way that sufficient waste. not chris regular acted waste with fusion radio. and one of the very nice potentially you can actually use the fusion reaction to what's called the know old fish and 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 new zealand. so young would be, smokers will soon find it difficult to indulge their habits. and new law bands. anyone who is currently under 15 from legally purchasing tobacco ever. i mean, future generations will not be allowed to buy cigarettes. manufacturers will also have to make that products less addictive. no one born

after 2008 will ever be allowed to buy secrets in music lent by lament, 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 reduce the nicotine in cigarettes to levels that will no longer cause addiction. they will also be fewer seals outlets, kiosk owner youth of muslim. he felt a smoker fears. he been lou 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 on this and 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 ethical. it's hoped that by 2025 fewer than one in 20 new the lenders will still be smokers. small world news now starting with south africa, where parliament is voted against impeaching president, rama posing the motion was rejected with the help of lawmakers from the president's ruling. a and c party report last month suggested he illegally hit nearly $600000.00 at his ranch. and per the death toll from violent protest against the arrest of leftist, a president, petro castillo, has risen to 7 hundreds of demonstrations of blocked roads across the country, as well as of an airport runway, new president at dina bol. watch. i attempted to calm anger by promising to bring

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 let's go on to road 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 not be done in italy that day as he can us employees on campus in our leader. he's always pushing us and

motivating us all. he has that special advantage. and when we're on the pits, 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 daniel barcelona in doha. talk me through tonight's world cup clash. croatia can definitely pull off another upside 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 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 more that it 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 goals is massey, 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 mother, it actually was making his debut for croatia. so special game for both of them. i'm we, we heard about the argentina fans and i last report how important are they gonna be to 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. finally, a flood water has always been a threat to at least historic city of venice. now its best known building is getting special protection. new glass barriers will keep the water away from the grand marble columns and ancient mistakes of st. mark's basilica. and it says, learn to live with frequent flooding, but buildings are still being damaged by salt water. is reminded by top stories that face therapy in parliament has voted to remove one of its vice president's office if a kinase being held in jail on corruption charges linked to could tom g has denied the allegations and the u. s. energy department has announced a breakthrough that could one day provide
