8:00 pm
the, the dw news live in from berlin tonight, ukraine's president is a man on a mission told him, is a landscape. it's to the us capital for talks, and securing aid for his country's war effort against russia. but that funding is locked due to a domestic political dispute. also coming up tonight the you will find it talks it overtime and on the verge of failure at issue a dramatic phase else and fossil fuels to mitigate climate change. some countries say yes to that others say, you know, and donald tusk, returning to power in poland. the new prime minister is promising, stronger ties with the european union and more support for ukraine.
8:01 pm
the brewed coffee is good to have you with us on this tuesday, ukraine's president bonum is zalinski. has just told us senators that his country can win the war against russia if it gets more aid from america. so if you met with lawmakers of the us capital to push for a new aid package for ukraine and time is running out, this is the final week before members of congress go home for the holidays. republicans have been blocking a $110000000000.00 package for both ukraine and israel. the white house says current funds for ukraine will run out by the end of this year. as the lensky held talks with the speaker of the house, mike johnson, who reassured him that republicans would help ukraine resist russia's invasion. i
8:02 pm
just had a good meeting with president zelinski. i reiterated to him that we stand with him and against hooton's, brutal invasion of the american people stand for freedom and they are on the right side of this fight. i have asked the white house since the day that i was handed to gabble, a speaker for clarity. we need a clear articulation of the strategy to allow ukraine to win, and thus far their responses have been insufficient. they have not provided us the clarity and the detail that we requested over and over since literally 24 hours after i was handed, the gavel and speaker of the house. since earlier i asked our correspondent, janelle, him alone in washington dc. if the mood there has changed compared to last winter, when zelinski arrived and was celebrated as a hero, the steps of the mood definitely watched more different this time around, even though by most accounts that closed door meeting between us lawmakers and the
8:03 pm
landscape wasn't seeing us particularly hostile republicans were already telegraphing ahead of this meeting that there was very little of that zelinski could say that would move them from wanting to see a u. s. mexico, a board or a deal, a tighter board or a deal agreed before any more ukraine aid could be released. now of course, so this means that republicans are essentially using you cream aid as a bargaining chip in order to achieve domestic policy goals around immigration, around, around the border around asylum policy. of course, these are all of you see a very important republican avoiding issues ahead of an election year and 2024. but a lot of these proposals, democrats have bolted, calling the maximum list and a draconian and valencia coming to washington hasn't really done that much to
8:04 pm
change that dynamics. and as you say, brand, they are running out of time to agree a deal. they have 2 more days. lawmakers go home for the holidays on thursday. yeah, that's exactly right. and we know that until inskeep will also be meeting with president by the engineers. i'm wondering what continue as president do other than, you know, offer some kind words. i mean, he doesn't control the 1st strings, doesn't, as well as the landscape sports is here on biden's invitation. the idea being that the landscape is the best advocate for ukraine, that the american public and american law makers could benefit a bit from the to the landscape. messaging magic now, of course, so the lensky is as having a politician to know, we shouldn't say anything on the board or what he can do is continue want to highlight to the aid that he needs, how quickly he needs to get it. and the risks of not getting that aid. so earlier he was talking about how keith is a protecting the west of from putin's
8:05 pm
a potentially further expansion is done visions. now by then, of course, is his staunch us ally here in washington. what a bite and might be able to do in negotiations with lawmakers, could spell the difference for the lens key, but perhaps not soon enough. all right, dw is janelle, to belong in washington, but the latest tonight's, janelle, as always, thank you. we're now to do by we're negotiators at the top 28 climate and so they'd have gone into overtime trying to avert failure. some countries including germany, the us and the u. k are refusing to sign up to the latest draft deal, where a reference to phasing out fossil fuels was taken out. the summits hose, the united arab emirates, i've said that they will now try again in the hope of finding consensus, part of developing countries on economies for the w correspondingly only phenomena . stein is following the conference force in dubai. i asked her earlier is
8:06 pm
a final declaration really within reach? well, that's the question on everybody's mind here. obviously to, you know, last nights and for us and service us during this. it's been a pretty long night and a pretty long day of, of waiting and for the negotiators behind close stores. um, it has been a very long night and a very long day of negotiating, trying to find compromises, trying to find the, to build bridges. and, you know, the presidency is in talks with this sort of different country groups. we're hearing a lot of rumors and the, the stakes are pretty high. the pressure is on. i mean, we're heard some of those statements. they are ministers coming out. and there is a pretty stark standoff between, you know, those countries like, or producing countries like saudi arabia. i'm calling so for know language of pays out to be included in the draft sex and then especially applied and fundable countries. no island states and the u. i'm calling for as you know, to add
8:07 pm
a lot more urgency to the text and calling for strong this language on fossil fuel phase out. and so it's really up to the presidency now to build those bridges, to drive to the text we are expecting. and also very, we're hearing a lot of different rooms, but we are expecting a new text to drop. and so at some point during the night, we've just heard that apparently there is going to be a plenary scheduled for tomorrow morning. and so this cop you mentioned it is already an overtime. everybody's pretty exhausted. the pressure is on the stakes are high. yeah. and the hearse of this summit had been defending this watered down draft, knowing that there is widespread anger. now i'm just wondering do, do they think that they're going to be able to stick to this dance, or are they going to be the ones who were going to have to give it? of the yeah, i mean the host um headsets uh, timing. again, he wants this to be in a vicious cop, his story cop. we still don't really know if it was really
8:08 pm
a negotiating strategy to keep countries, you know, 2 minutes or so to figure countries to, to start talking about the red lines where they draw the red lines and, and what's drastic suspected we, we did see a lot of strong push back, especially from time to the volleyball nations, also trying to adjust this movement, had a really big protest today, really urging their leaders to continue to fight for fossil fuel phase out for an equitable phase out. and, you know, with a long life, very emotional speeches by especially young activists who are basically saying, you know, you as our jobs and gone. so pakistan's army says at least $23.00 soldiers have been killed to the terror attack in the north west of the country. officials say as long as militants rammed a truck full of explosives into a police station and then launched a mortar attack. the army had been using the police station as a base camp. finland as an else enable reopened to crossings on his border with
8:09 pm
russia in november. i'll think he should all of its 8 border crossings with roger. i have to really choose most gallons encouraging migrants to try to enter finland else. think he says this was done in retaliation for its decision to join nato. the kremlin has denied the accusation were now to poland, where duly elected. the prime minister, donald tusk, has delivered his inaugural speech to parliament. he presented the cabinet that is set to face a confidence vote. later this evening. tusk has promised to head a centrist pro e u government ending 8 years of right wing nationalist group. the former head of the european council is placed ukraine high on his agenda, saying that he will urge the west to fully mobile lines and support. says, are here in the studio with me now is will check 2 months from the w's publish service. good to have you here. let me just ask you for this that we had talked about this, but considering what's happening right now in washington with zelinski trying to keep us 8 alive if that is stopped at the end of the year. what can donald task
8:10 pm
as the leader of pulling? what can he do to compensate? well, he will have to try to convince the congress in europe and on all the other allies, not to stop 8 for, for ukraine, and maybe he'll try to use it. he's sick connections in washington and maybe use case and administer sikowski who will lead the police department of state. yeah. who, who has some good connections in washington to try to convince them not to do it. but at show we know a h for your trade is crucial for this country to continue fighting against russia . donald just gets promised a lot of change. do we know what his plans are? well, i think at the beginning the notice will try to restore the independence of the judiciary. important. because this is a big issue between poland and the european union. europe and commission has been
8:11 pm
very much concerned about the state of rule of low and imposed. and so this is one of the most important issues now for the new polish government. and it is expected that the government will very fast try to reorganize the voltage, a public media, public broadcast, switch for the last 8 years. have the 8 years have been aggressive. foot totally biased, the mouthpiece of the ruling low enjoys. they're gonna have to be a purging of the public broadcasters. this is a very complex situation to do with the legally. this is not so this is not so easy, but this is unbelievable how, how biased the media in boarding the public broadcast as well. um, i expect that the new government and this is what that's good to accept in parliament earlier today with a run more green policy,
8:12 pm
more environmental, the environmentally aware. and which is very important, i think for the people in poland at the, at the most given bullets we'll, we'll change. it will no longer be this kind of a very national conservative with the very big influence of the catholic church. i believe it was changed towards more liberal, more freedom or open. what then, what does it mean for a public place in the european union? donald tusky is a known commodity already in, in brussels. so they'll be glad i'm sure, and both of us to see him walk back in the room as the new leader. is that going to be good for the people? the public was disc set to any of the dice you once poland, to regain its position as a leading position within the european union. so it is expected that she will try to make the relations with you with brussels and with the most important
8:13 pm
neighbours. and because the congress of the, you, the re pad those, it is this relations and indeed to ask notes brussels very well. he knows how did you work. so she will be a more active and more constructive politicians there. now, however, it doesn't mean that she will accept every think what you, once you will not be easy partner for the you, a issues like migration or a deeper reform of the european union. she differs. his views differs on with, from the, from the ones that we have another because you get up and countries. and last but not least here, she will try to convince the you and the west not to give up on ukraine and to mobilize them to support the country who's fight against russia. it will see how much influence he has there, which makes you months from dw folder surface good to have you hear the studio. thank you. you're watching dw things up next. they dw special,
8:14 pm
looking at body positivity and self love. i'll be back in the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day. see then the, the monumental structures of the stone age, a milestones in the history of mankind. some of its greatest meetings and megan us, or monumental stone arrangements that people are arrested long before the pyramid, technical, and logistical feat that simple as the impossible agents and bodies here the stones tell the story of the power for revolution. the executive.
