so while i'm, well, australia has welcome 2023 with a bang as millions across the country celebrated their 1st normal new years eve. since the pandemic. around a 1000000 people are thought to have turned out to see that famous harbor fireworks in sidney. hundreds of millions more watched from around the world. this year's display was under the theme of diversity and inclusion, with some 8 tons of fireworks being sent off. and here in germany, chance or all of shoulds delivers his annual new year's eve address to the nation. this year, speeches focusing on one of the main events that shaped the year the war in ukraine, as well as the challenges it has posed for germany. the full version of the televised address will be broadcast later tonight. the war in ukraine and its consequences dominated the year in german politics. in his new year address,

chancellor, olaf sholtes unequivocally condemned the russian leader. 14, why do we put in is conducting in the b las more off aggression? the heart of europe? is this watershed moment, is also a doubt, as for us and our country on the hard to put on feel a little we're all seeing the effects of the war in our everyday lives talk. but my grand shopping in the supermarket at the federal station than warping our electricity or gas bills. regardless of the consequences, germany has been supporting ukraine in fighting the war. chancellor sholtes pledged further help for keith and its war effort. he also praised the wes cohesion, the old pistol noun, the european union, and need to unlock, split as they have been in various crises of the past, who guide along the sand. more united than ever dodged in re, in germany did not bow down. when russia turned on the guys to some of it, what? because he refused to be blackmailed. restructuring the german energy

infrastructure and the economic relief packages drawn up by schultz. his government have already cost the state billions of euros. but the chancellor repeated his promise that no one in germany would be left behind shalt says take away from 2022. sticking together in a crisis is good for everyone, including germany. and for more on the chancellor's remarks, i'm joined in the studio by d. w. is political correspondent, hands on times get to use so we heard it there, the main topics that chance actually talked about the warning ukraine energy, the rising cost of energy and of course the rising cost of everything else, inflation did. he really cover the main issues that are affecting the german public store. and there was some talk in the past year about corona about the corona pandemic. but yes, in fact, these were the major issues,

the overwhelming issues they were in ukraine and the effects of this had. of course, these are a result. the energy prices and inflation are a result of the war in ukraine. and the chancellor and his government have spent a lot of time and billions of euros during the course of this year to try and mitigate the effects of these are of these ukrainian of these effects of the ukranian war on the german population. but in fact, the dissatisfaction with his government has been rising during the course of the year. about 2 thirds of people are not satisfied with his government. that's a pretty dismal showing. actually, it is at the same time schultz is trying to focus on the positive. i mean, he was emphasizing the cohesion, the solidarity of people in germany. do you think this message really was something that germans wanted to hear?

yes, i think the message is that there is some truth and that it is a reflection both of actually to a description of the situation. there are many germans, germans feel that the load has to be shared, that people have to carry the burden together. but at the same time, it's also an appeal to the germans, because there is quite a lot of dissatisfaction, as i've just said. there is a lot of dissatisfaction about services from the states such as so for instance, public transport or health services which are showing quite a lot of difficulties. and the shortest government is being blamed for that to the extent that his coalition government is under a lot of stress at the moment. so he's really struggling to keep things afloat basically. well, i suppose that this is why it's important for sure to come across as somebody who's in control, and he's not known for being particularly charismatic. but how do you gauge his delivery of this address? did he strike the right tone of authority?

but did we see a human side to shoulder? what's your take? there was no surprise there. there was hardly a smile. he was very much the automaton that one has expects from him. i think he tries to persuade people through argument rather than through emotion. but i think in a situation like this where emotions are really running high in society, in the world, one could say, some sign of emotion from sholtes might have been, might have been a good message to the people and said he comes across is very strict and and her unapproachable, basically, well, maybe he can practice his emotions in the, in the new year and try again. and his address next year will c, d, w is a constant. always such a pleasure to speak to you all as brazil starts preparation to swear in a new presidential silva,
