the coming weeks. that ukrainian defense chiefs predicting russia will launch a new offense of early next year. that could include a 2nd attempt to take keith. our correspondent, men alshaun is in key. if, man, well, i can see it looks looking very cold where you are. what was the night like in the ukrainian capital? good morning, mariana. well, the night a here in ukraine for people in general was of course, very cold. people are coping or even if they are living in very, very dire situation here in the capital people, workers walked around to clock to fix the damage that was inflicted on a power infrastructures. just to give you an idea, there were 40 miss eyes launched on the capitol only yesterday, the majority of them $37.00 of them were shut down,

but some hid the targets that they were aimed to it, which is critical infrastructure which is entrust rector, which is vital for citizens energy infrastructure, water plan. so it means that yesterday the capitol was without power for a while. this was quickly fixed, but the water took away longer. we didn't have running water until this morning that we only had a cold water. the situation is not the same depending on which suburbs you leave, but all the country is affected. how to keep the a former, the 2nd biggest city of ukraine, which is mostly empty of the majority of the navy. tense yet, still there are thousands who are still living there, when most of them were defy bills of electricity, not my home. and well, we know of course, that this is not the 1st time that russia is attacking ukraine's civilian infrastructure. its strategy seems to be to inflict as much of

a suffering as possible on the citizens is a strategy working and are ukrainians going to give up and the longer this goes on well, what is working is the damage inflicted on the infrastructure. what is not working? is that a, it doesn't affect resilience of people here. people, you know, i get on life is almost as usual here, of course, it's really cold. of course, you know, it's a very, a dire or very annoying to not have water to not have electricity, but people are telling me when i was freaked it ended up going, at least russians are not here. and dad determined to keep it that way at the time in to keep going or regardless of the situation, of course, in the long run this winter, you know, is gonna last another few months in the long run. we could see a moment of population going west are also trying, you know, to go abroad eved

a situation where son. but as of now, i cannot see people here like telling me that he's discourages them in any way and it just wants, you know, russians to go away from the country. there was no nauseous reporting for us from cave emma. do stay safe and dear vesta stay warm while the kremlin is still using gas exports to help fund its war in ukraine, and as despite europe's efforts to win itself off, russian energy, moscow's liquid gas exports are at record highs. to be able to import gas from other parts of the world, germany is now opening its 1st liquefied natural gas terminal. this floating facility is the centerpiece of germany's new ellen g terminal. built in record time in the hope of ending dependency on russian gas. and adding to an existing europe

wide network. the i'm and we've spoken to our friends on europe's west coast, in the netherlands and belgium, about extending their terminals and carrying capacity. and france will send us gas for the 1st time to wants, leaf under liquefied natural gas comes from all around the world, but imports from russia into europe have risen to record levels accounting for 13 percent of the total. beyond my net whom that liquid inputs from russia to europe are increasing again to spain and france tongue. and there are long term contracts between these countries and russia that some is also going to belgium and the netherlands. and this gases being sent on to germany uses gas latino vitality fast enough to watch land. siberian gas is being transported by see russia has been building new l. n. g terminals of its own export volumes are smaller than before. but russia is earning $5.00 to $10.00 times more from liquid

gas than it used to make. why the north stream pipeline, there's no talk of boycotting russian gas. and along it was just as long as rush and gas is on the market somewhere in the world. it's a 0 sum game. i love if everyone does without russian gas than they were going to be massive shortages that have to be made up somewhere. and that means higher prices. i isn't really far from ostracizing, russia, french companies, for example, our joint venture partners with the russian liquid gas group, nova tech. in a complex market gas flows are effectively borderless. germany would like to operate its 1st ellen g terminal free from russian supplies. but in the international gas market, there is no fair trade certificate. here in berlin. authorities are investigating how a giant aquarium collapsed flooding a hotel with

a 1000000 leaders of water. the blow out of the world's biggest freestanding fish tank, killed nearly $1500.00 tropical sea creatures. the aftermath of a soon army in the heart of berlin. hundreds of fits and emergency responders raced to save as many fish as they could. but only a fraction survived. the cause of the tanks collapse is still unknown. this or that by the aqua dome had just been renovated as more than 2000000 euros were invested here. and after a long period of closure, it was reopened in the summer. that fraud were really need to find out how this happened. to puffinburger mescaline, the world's largest freestanding aquarium was a popular tourist attraction. once home to over 1500 fish. but hotel guests were in for a rude awakening. in the early hours of the morning, it sounded almost like

a fire word, but the hotel actually shook inside. ah, i could describe it as a over a 1000000 liters of water road through the hotel lobby. the force of the exploding tank ripped open the front doors and sent a brief flying into the street. despite the devastation, officials say the timing of the blast was lucky. that's got it. the whole thing had happened only one hour later than we would probably have to report was terrible human damage here. now the cleanup is now underway, but the tank itself is beyond repair. at the football world, camp argentina and france are preparing for sundays final. and as if worrying about leonor messy wasn't enough now, a virus has hit the french squad,

5 players including defensive linchpin raphael baran, have miss training. but attacker was mandible is not worried, and he is even providing some medical treatment of his own. no, in the book. no, we're not afraid of the virus. the you dial republican o and audrey and rob you had a headache and a bit of stomachache. i made them a little tea with ginger and honey and they were better. but no, we're not worried about that. no, no, i hope every one is on the mend and will be ready for the final bill to move a clipper policy. and for more on the world covered joint from katara by the, till the is 4th mark meadows mark greetings to use. so yeah, virus among the french squad. is this going to be a problem for the game to morrow? well friends have proven themselves to be resilient all tournament dale of her mcconnell and as an grab your miss the semi final against morocco with this virus.

well normally the 3rd place playoff for fans and players is seen as a bit of a waste of time. but this year i think it's gonna be a bit different. oversee morocco about such a fabulous run in the tournament. and it will feel like the equivalent of a bronze medal, if they can win it, they be the 1st african or arab team to do it. it's also important for creation midfield linchpin, luca mod rich. now he's 37, so he assumed this is his last wilcock game. if he's gonna play a want to go out on a high and as really quickly mark there was a press conference by 5th, a president john infant t. now what was his big announcement? with these big announcement was that we are going to have a different sort of will cut from 2025 at the moment we have a club will cope with 8 teams that happens every year, but from 2025 revenue club will cook with $32.00 teams, so it's going to be a lot like a national team woke up. of course the next national wilting team. national team woke up in 2026 is going to have a record 48 teams. so there's big changes ahead for football. that was the w is
