so let's go straight to a correspond mcsaunder who is in keys. max, what will, can you tell us about the drone attack and keep this morning? right, so it was shortly before 6 this morning when the, the city woke up to another air raid alarm to air raid sirens. and then not, not long after 2030 minutes, maybe we heard a couple of very loud bangs notes appears to be, have been ukrainian air defense forces. taking out these are iranian drones, according to authorities, 13 shahan jones were launched. the seo has of region and made their way across the country to the key of region and some of them even into the city. but luckily, none of these drones were able to attack, there was no direct hit on all these drones could be intercepted there, but there has been some damage, sir. we heard, i'm due to shrapnel,

some residential and an administrative buildings or were damaged. but as far as we know, nobody was killed, nobody was hurt. now, international donors gathered in paris this week and pledged a 1000000000 euros in aids to ukraine. max, i'm going to ask you to stay right there. we're gonna hear some more now about that . don't a conference. and then we'll come right back to you to talk more about it with old, like a kick about in the dark. for these kids and keith, it's become the new norma with battery powered lights and the goals that training can start a game of football during of water blackout, chisel laws garage and sometimes it's a bit scary, but we're getting used to it. we go into the underground when there's a bomb allergic, otherwise it's ok, like in the ukranian capital winters, a harsh, a lot of snow is fallen in many households or without electricity

in paris or lynn as a lens cow, the wife of ukraine's president was welcomed at an international donor conference, hosted by french president, a manuel my call. representatives from 70 countries and international organizations got together to try and help ukraine through a winter of russian attacks. in his opening remarks, macro condemned to putin strategy in the strongest terms. if not, give his vista maurice drugs us with joseph, which russia openly admit, are designed to break the resistance of the ukrainian people, finance or war crimes came to give mercy ukraine's president. val automatically lensky told the conference what his country now needs most urgently. pharma over his, his life, we expect new russian strikes every day, which will increase the number of power sharon, so that's what generators and uninterrupted power sources of now become as important as armored vehicles and bullet proof vests slow. so it was, i was on,

at the end of the day, pledges amounted to more than 1000000000 euros with germany will give 50000000 euros with generators and other technical equipment supposed to arrive in ukraine before christmas gate. a line should money alone doesn't save people from dying of hunger, thirst. okay, that's why concrete technical support is so important. if we don't just need financial aid, we also need generators. transformers, cables, one. you're welcome, carbon equipment that is instrumental for restoring the electricity and water supply to ease at least some of the hardship that ukrainians continue to suffer. next rushes attacks on ukraine's infrastructure. do seem clearly aimed at breaking the countries will to to continue fighting back. do you get the sense that the, the hardship, ukrainian people are experiencing now is a grinding down their resolve?

these attacks seem to have a quite an effect on, on the country. they've been very effective, a taking a parts and then taking a parts of that, the power grid and taking a parts of the central heating. so people are suffering, it is very cold. that is, that is clear. large parts of the country are without constant electricity in the dark and in the cold. but that being said, if you talk to people here does not seem that this is breaking their will quite the opposite. actually they are helping themselves, helping others. um, if you look at the small businesses here, even the smallest coffee shops are equipped with generators, now people are helping themselves. people are actually getting quite inventive. some are using a car batteries to power their devices at home. so it seems that although russia is hitting ukrainians very, very hard, and they still seem more determined than ever to a last these attacks. and eventually when we saw in our report, the donors have pledged more than a 1000000000 euros in a financial aid,

the ukraine, to what extent will that address the countries noticed urgent needs? now it is definitely a start and ukraine needs help. right now it's a matter of survival is some of the forty's have put it in one sense or another. given the energy situation, ukraine needs to be powered ukrainians to be fed and ukrainians because warm. so they need a high capacity generated at the moment. they need gas deliveries, and they need electricity imports, so that, so this is definitely going to help. in addition to that, though, military equipment is needed, spare parts for a tillery heavy, modern weapons, and above all necessaries, air defense systems. and there might be some movement there. actually, there are multiple media reports coming out that the u. s. in talks with ukraine right now about sending a patriot system. this could help booster, the ukraine's air defense. so we might hear more of this this week, even next sunday we're putting from k. thank as a german chancellor will have,

shall. it's has hailed european unity in response to russia's warren ukraine, addressing german will make as a head of an e u summit. that'll be getting underway later today. the chancellor said efforts to so divisions within the block or failing that was an apparent reference to hungary, which earlier this week blocked a european union loan to keep before later dropping it's opposition shots. pledge to stand by ukraine side with offers of money, aid, and weapons. the russians war of aggression on ukraine is a challenge for e u, cohesion, household. but this challenge is one we have taken on head, on and together for states that we are strong. since the 24th of february, ukraine has joined forces in an unprecedented manner and the german government has worked hard on this. we have supported our partners and we have them supported by them. and this is european solidarity in the flesh. and we can speak now to

a chief political correspondent, nina hossa, who's out the german parliament, but will show its, gave that speech a little earlier. nina, all of shaw, it's making an absolute point of expressing his support, ukraine and his speech. what's concrete help can, can ukraine now expect from germany now these addresses to parliament by the german chancellor or is an opportunity for international observers to also get a feeling of where the german chancellor thinks the country is standing and where he can outline the strategic vision of the country, but of course this topic, ukraine, dominated, or left shorts. his speech as well. he didn't announce any new measures, but he did very much did take score of what he things where his biggest achievement in the 1st year. and most importantly, perhaps he did reiterate again that germany will stand by ukraine side for as long

as it takes. he said again that you will em give an additional $18000000000.00 euros to ukraine next year so that ukraine can stand on its own feet financially, but also that human italian 8 will continue. they will send generators straight away. but also all i showed said one of his projects and the platform where they're going to coordinate the recovery efforts for ukraine is getting underway now. so as soon as fighting stops there, the international community will help ukraine get on its feet. and i've got somebody here with me who is an expert when it comes to foreign affairs and defense issues and very much knows just how closely ukraine has been following. also, germany's actions, because of course, the tankless also been criticized for not doing enough. so johan vida, full from the conservative opposition party, what did you make of will have so to speak. can ukrainians now really rely on germany? is germany doing enough? yes, i think they can rely on germany. they are

a huge support in the german society. we are standing with ukraine with the ukrainians, and of course, most of the speech officer chancellor, is trapped by my faction. we support the government in supporting ukraine, but of course germany could do more. we have battle things. we have ahmed vehicles who could be delivered to ukraine, and it's only the southern position of the chancellor not to do so until now. he was hiding behind the united states in saying that there was an agreement with washington not to deliver these tanks. but we were up this week from dc that this is not a position of the vine administration that every country also germany is free to deliver whatever they could. and what they, they have a free decision on, on, on what, what they send to ukraine. and we have these things, ukraine needs them,

and them always support them. now, the earlier the fights could come to an end. the earlier russia could recognize that they are not successful in beating ukraine. so we are still and again ching, the chancellor to withdraw from, from this position and to support ukraine more. why do you think is he standing on the brakes as you put it? i don't really, i don't really understand his position. he has change his, his arguments, as i said before, to now he was hiding behind the united states. that, of course, could have been reliable and, and a good argument better. as this is now gone. perhaps he fears about germany could be part of a more part of that, of that, of that battle in ukraine. that we could also even some, some,

some kind offer off offer offer for fighting a part in that war. but as far as i see, we have deliver chains, these are the year and he aircraft tanks good part. they are stronger than the model us our armored vehicles. we could 1000. they are comparable to our battle tang for leo parts. so we have joined that battle and we are standing aside side by side to ukraine. ants are, if you once decided to do so, you should sort of follow on on this pass. stronger and clearer. are as chancellor thoughts as well, you'll be going into the defense committee a later on today. so maybe you'll find out more what the current position is and when it comes to defense and also the aid that is going to be delivered to ukraine . you and by the full from the opposition. conservatives, thank you very much. and with that back to you and head he

w a chief political correspondent, nina, thank you so much. ah, to the football world, cut in guitar. now in argentina convincingly b, croatia, 3 nell, and the 1st of the semi final clashes crecia had upset brazil in the last round while hoping to continue their improbable run. but linelle massey and his teammates were too much for crecia to handle. this semi final was bound to be the last shot at world cup glory tray, a legendary player, either argentine as we know, messy or co h as luca mudrinich despite croatia controlling much of the ball early on argentina were the 1st to break through with william alvarez's bullish run forwarded by a clear foul with the whole world watching, but his keeper too nervous to look. leo messy stepped up and ripped home the penalty. one mill argentina with 34 minutes play and just 5 minutes later alvarez was again crouching through

a sea of legs. this time no one dared to take him down to nil. late in the 2nd half, it was messy lighting up the pitch, dancing through crashes defense to lay the ball off to alvarez, and finish things off at 3 mill. messy has again carried his country to a world cup final, this time against either france or morocco. meanwhile, muddrick knows, he'll never lift the cup and without you are up to day. and i'll do milan has the business news for you next time and it gets in cannon like so much of it. they breeze. ah, they have body and soul. the houses that dangle rebus can construct are more than just building.
