time? well, the new package of sanctions is the 1st and foremost about tightening and widening existing restrictions and other punitive measures against russia. more individuals and entities will be lack listed. 3 additional russian banks will be sanctioned and to for more russian tv channels will be taken off the year in europe. and for the european union, as they say, it's also important to cut rushes access to all sorts of drones. but there will be also it all or also exemptions included in this sir package of sanctions exemptions for russian fertilizer produces that was so important, especially for germany and france to have those exemptions to make sure that russian fertilizers that are needed in africa for instance,

can be exported there in order to save africa from famine. so those exemptions are also included in this new package of sanctions. by there was something we've heard, the leaders could not agree on the gas price cap. well, that's right. there is no breakthrough on that topic, but the leaders are increasing the pressure on their energy ministers to come up with a solution next monday to and this month's long dispute. and we are hearing from our sources that they are moving forwards to a compromise that there will be a price cap and mechanism that however can be then suspended in there is any risk or any danger to the security of supplies. so that is the direction where they are moving, but we need to wait for next monday and the energy ministers to come up with more

details on that. so the whole for some progress next week, at least on those disagreements. but are you members at least united on continuing the support for ukraine? well, i think when we look at the outcome of this, a summit, new sanctions, but also a huge financial aid for ukraine, 18000000000 euros that ukraine is expected to get next year. we have to say that the leaders here states united however, we also have to add that it is becoming increasingly difficult to remain united. the longer this war is dragging on speaking of consequences of this war. we also have the decision to grant another country candidate status for you. membership. tell us more about that. well bosnia herzegovina has been granted sir candidate status. and we have to earn the stress here that this is a country with the existing political and ethnic tensions. and this is also

a country that sir has seen a lot of russian interference in internal affairs. so by granting bosnia herzegovina, a candidate status, the european union is saying, we want to give you this a european union membership perspective. but we also a want to counter rushes influence in the region d. w for alexandra phenomena following that summit for us in brussels. thank you. let's take a look at some other story of making headlines around the world today. how's and gathered his danville to protest against the porch rolling that would send the left leaning mer to jail for insulting election officials? actress m m or lou is widely seen of the challenger to preston. dress a by to on the european central bank has raised its lending rate by half a percentage point. the bank is trying to bring down inflation,

know that that audience is lost to them. so this is all about the story to people back home and russia who maybe want to believe what they're told and people in 3rd countries or maybe don't have an ability to really fact check those claims. and i think there's also just a conviction in moscow that they are just so big and they are so important because of their nuclear status, their seat at the security council that basic people have to talk to them, whatever they do, whatever the kind of war crunch potentially committed by their troops in ukraine. at the end of the day, outside pals, the u. s. europe will come and speak to them. so there's basically not much of a kind of perceived, impulsive, occur, a kind of need to really stick to the ordinary rules of war. they can basically get away with that really seems to be what they think. ah, the former tennis is boris becker has been released from a british prison and bought at home to germany. becker was chilled in april for hiding hundreds of thousands of pounds, despite been declared bankrupt. the 55 year old was given early, released from
