city of obamacare, which is tripped out power and running water to get a hold of russian troops are just 5 kilometers away. but she's determined to stay here and endure some kenya that i wish i had some can't made so much but days and i made up it's cold. oh, but we stay, survived the winter, and early luxury was all i want. is people it here in the fatten 30 of caisson resident that also 5th thing i did the struggle russia continues to pound to 50 recently liberated by ukraine with limited supplies, waiting in long youth is now part of daily life is more so the law, the pharmacies are closed, this one here in the city center is the only one open. international aid. if a lifeline for thumb, this center is providing food and relief from the freezing temperature with i'm

inside what they call a resilient center. outside is raining. it's freezing and it's dangerous inside. thanks to the efforts of the government of thanks to the efforts of so many who given so much support to the people of course on we're beginning to see live starting a girl. but the fact fantasy can't help all the ukrainians currently in need. it will be a punishing winter for many. i corresponded nick commonly in keep tell me more about these latest russian attacks of what we understand. this was an attack on a humanitarian aid station in the center of tallow. people accusing to get bread, were queuing, to get help with eating their homes. people getting generators are all stoves to heat. nancy, it's pretty cold here already in ukraine, and they have the sick once again proves that basically, nowhere in for the sun is safe. this is

a city that faces off against russian troops on the other bank of the river. and they can hit anywhere in the city with normal artillery, but also with rocket artery of which they have a lot when center to deaths. one doctor, as it's been reported, and one local who was there queuing for supplies. and yet this isn't the only time just yesterday an 8 year old boy lost his life in hudson. the city administration building has been hit the very same, placed it fully. mm. zalinski krench present came to visit once, have some been re taken by ukraine troops or the russians really doing their best not to show that this is not a city that is somehow kind of through the worst that can cause somehow concentrate on rebuilding the power supplies had just been restored to the majority of people in capsule and, and again, through those strikes from russia today. now total blackout. so really tough times there looks people i think, who maybe would have been thinking about returning to have some for the pos ukraine . now thinking twice, right, and once more, there are allegations of abuse perpetrated by russian soldiers

we've heard from the crane government ombudsman for human rights. he has reports of teenage boys. they're being kept for days, if not longer in sellers, on the ground being kept without water, water only being given sporadically. it oversee kind of fits with the kind of stories you've heard before. we were in san just about a month ago and we met people through it spent weeks underground without any allegations of any kind of charges being produced, their families with no clue as to where they were at lots people still missing people being tortured with sickle shocks, being big enough, so there's a sense that there isn't really much reason to expect russian troops to have behaved any better in that song than they did in other parts occupied ukraine. and as the weeks progressive associations go further, a lot more of the story is not unfortunate turning up. ok, thank you for that. nick in economy in keith of the war and ukraine is dominating the agenda as an e. u summit in brussels, where leaders are considering a new package of sanctions against russia. the 27 member states are almost

unanimous in their support. the ukraine with the spillover effects of the war, deepened divisions on issues such as record high inflation and the growing energy crisis. ukrainian president vladimir savanski join the meeting via live link and appeal for more advanced weapons. i believe you had a corresponded banter, reagan to joins us from brussels. welcome banter, 10 months into this war. is unity among you members? states holding up it is the 27 leaders, sir. listened again to a moving speech. sure. by the ukrainian president villarreal zalinski, and afterwards they declared that their commitment to help ukraine is unwavering. there will be help for humanitarian issues. there will be have to buy ammunition and weapons and they will also be helped to maintain the budget of the ukrainian state. those that ukraine is actually able to, to pay pensions and to salaries to teach as nurses, and others,

18000000000 euros. there will be available for that next year and $5000000000.00 more for this the, the, to buy weapons and armament. and the you leaders also read through may be booster, the possibilities of ukraine, of to, to defend itself against air raids and bombardments by the russian aggression. if new weapons will be shipped to ukraine has to be seen. but at least that the will to talk about it when it comes to europe itself, leaders could not agree on a price kept on hold, say, gas. and this is still to be negotiated next week that still these 2 cams, $115.00 countries want a wholesale price kept a strict prize grab the other say no, we cannot do that because then a liquified gas would be shipped to asia, not to europe any more so this is still unresolved about negotiations underway and

over all that you wants to maintain a solidarity front, a united stands against russia. and another major issue, of course, is the corruption scandal that's currently rocking the e u. parliament a which responded to date with a resolution. and what did they agree? well, parliament is mirroring and the efforts of the, the president of parliament, robert metzler to have sweeping reforms, not after this as scandal broke. and the parliament says, we cannot have any lobby isn't from 3rd countries any more. so it's in future will be forbidden to give money to parliamentarians by a 3rd states. and parliamentarians have to open up a there of her bank accounts, if you wish to parliament wants to know where comes the money from. and this is all due to a scandal of by the greek m e p. eva kailey,

houston prison. she is maintaining, she is innocent, but her boyfriend admitted that he is a part of her criminal herb who investigated criminal network in parliament and handing out money for 2 parliamentarians who are willing to vote in favor of katara and also morocco. this has been used allegation, but in the, the judicial inquiry is going on and next week we will no more than gaily it will appear in the belgian court for the 1st time. i thank you for that. and band reagan in brussels. here's the most or is making headlines around the world. the european central bank has raised its landing rights by half a percentage point 2 to point to 5 percent. the 4th consecutive increase since july, as it tries to fight runaway inflation prices across the 19 countries that use the

euro have sort driven by rising energy costs since the russian invasion of ukraine . nurses in the u. k. have staged an unprecedented strike up to 100000 members of the role college of nurses of walked off the job for a day describing the action as a last resort in their fight for better wages and working conditions. action is part of a way of british walkers ah, german 4 without his ice. boris becker has been freed from the british prison and his report li, now back in germany. in april, he was jail for 2 years and 6 months for hiding a hundreds of thousands of pounds of assets after being declared that bankrupt. the 55 year old was originally required to serve at least 15 months, but his lawyer says he has not received an early release and is not subject to any legal restrictions in germany. will journalist com nationwide in london explained

why mister baccha was released and deported so quickly? i there, phil. yeah, the big news here is that boris becker being released early, only serving those 8 months of a 30 month prison sentence. and it is that that word deportation. that we can refer to here, boris becker is a german citizen. and despite living in the u. k for about a decade did not apply for british citizenship. so he apply actually will be used under an early release program for foreign citizens. the actually will be deported back to germany. this is something that's meant to reduce the over crowding and u. k. prison does not quite as rare as you might think around. a 1000 similar cases took place last year in the u. k, but he will be sent back and there will be some conditions of the biggest one is that he will not be allowed to return to the u. k. or at least 10 years that will be the point of which he can begin to apply. again,

she returns so looks like this will be a long time in terms of when you laugh a stay in germany. if boris becker does want to come back, but only serving 8 months of that 30 month prison sentence, and he is now on his way back, being deported to germany and remind us why he ended up in prison in the 1st place . was he mentioned at the beginning this stems from 4 charges of water being referred to as a bankruptcy fraud. essentially, he was accused and convicted of trying to hide millions of dollars and of his asset that he owed to creditors in a bankruptcy case. he was tried earlier this year, making lots of headlines, obviously in the u. k. and in germany convicted in april and then sent him to 30 months in prison. in fact, he served some of those months just down the river here, not so far away from his apartments in south london. but that was the case that put

him behind bars. he really was serving time in prison, was then transferred to a lighter duty prison. that is meant for these sort of 4 nationals before they are supported and now for speaker on his way back and he stayed in the spotlights for years after it. he retired from playing tennis. where does he go from here? he did, and that spotlight not fading away, obviously. anytime soon he's going back to germany. there are rumors that there are some standing offers for him to join the german tennis association. we do believe that he'll be flown back to germany on a private flight on a private jet that's been paid at least in part by a german television station hoping to get that big 1st interview with boris becker . there's also an apple tv documentary about his wife that will be released soon that's being produced by a couple of oscar winning directors. the clip just dropped yesterday on that, so this will only serve to increase that spotlights on boards. becker,
