the, the digital, the news live it from berlin tonight, ukraine's president, a man on a mission modem is zalinski is in the us to urge both democratic and republican leaders to resolve their domestic differences. so that aid to ukraine will not be stopped. also coming up to the i to you in climate talks in overtime and on the verge of failure at issue a dramatic phase out of fossil fuels to mitigate climate change. some countries say yes, others are saying no, the

i bring coffee is good to have you with us on this tuesday. and we begin with a man on a mission ukraine's president bowed demand. zalinski has been meeting with us president biden at the white house and a bid to get more funding for his country's fight against russia. president by been promised that the us will stand by ukraine side, even as republicans continue to block in a package for ukraine. of the peer met after zalinski tried to convince lawmakers to green lights the funding the white house as the current funding for ukraine will run out by the end of this year by it and says if congress fails to agree on more 8 for ukraine, it would be a christmas gift to russian president vladimir approved. and this is one of those moments congress needs to pass the supplemental funding ukraine before the holiday recess before they give the greatest christmas gift they could possibly give him

the president callback congress and do the right thing to stand with ukraine to stand up for freedom to you brain is less depends on age and we are moving to the right thing, right direction that i want to discuss with the president. how, how distressed, and it's especially in enhancing our here to pass and the ability to destroy process logistics. all right, i want to cost now to our correspondent janelle dom allowed in washington. she's been following this meeting for us all day. janelle, these 2 presidents, they just spoke before going into a closed door meeting. and what was the biggest take away from what they were saying? obviously, you know, where they talk with each other. they're kind of preaching to the choir, aren't they? yes, we heard some very familiar messaging there with bite and expressing solidarity for ukraine as well as that seasonally appropriate warranty, against giving, putting

a christmas gift by denying crane aid. but in the end, the only guest that by then was really able to promise you cream this time around was the $200000000.00 in a draw down funds. now, of course, this is a far cry from the $60000000000.00 in a bug bite. and wanted to get passed for ukraine. now, $200000000.00. that's not nothing, but it does very much have the feel of a token, something that was given to the lensky, so he doesn't have to go home empty handed while the real aid package sort of se remains held up in a domestic policy squabble among us. lawmakers over the us mexico border. janelle zalinski today also met with the speaker of the house and with other us lawmakers. what was he able to convince them to do were sick, as well from the looks of it. we don't know the, the week is not yet over,

but not much. it's important to realize that republicans are, and i'm on the list on this. there are those who genuinely so far as the creed, but are still willing to use the ukraine aid as a bargaining chip in order to gain concessions for the us mexico border. and there are the republicans who don't support ukraine for 8, but for whom the republican demand for board a reform has provided some cover. so it is this dynamic sense of landscape was walking into is that the thing that is holding up ukraine a has very little to do with ukraine at all. and it's very hard to see what he could say or do to influence that dynamic. now of course, this is all coming out of time where you cranes counter offensive is largely seen in washington to have sold, and this is leading to questions over ukraine's ability to win the war. of course, however, if no new u. s. funding is passed for ukraine's and perhaps ukraine, losing the war could become a self fulfilling prophecy. and that's not lost on anyone in washington. all right,

you know, we know we do, we'll stay on the story and be there. when the presidents come out of this close door meeting, thank you. and both present in spite and and valencia are set to hold a joint press conference in about 10 minutes from now you can follow that live on our dw news youtube chance were now to do by where to go cedars of the cop 20 a climate somebody to have gone into overtime trying to avert failure. so i'm countries including germany, the u. s. and the u. k. are refusing to sign up to the latest draft deal where a reference to phasing out fossil fuels was admitted to some its host, the united air, the enrich, i've said that they will now try you again in the hope of finding consensus part the cop $28.00 director general measured else, one responded to the criticism, holding out hope that the language around

a fossil fuel phase out may just end up in the final tax take of us. we're facing the most demanding cop agenda of all time. and what we are seeing right now is everybody working through that agenda. all cops are challenging. but in this cop, we're trying to do something that has never been done before. something to start. we are trying to agree a comprehensive plan to close the gaps between where the world is and where it needs to be to keep 1.5 degrees within reach that is on north star that has been or no style or long. part of this is to include language on fossil fuels in the text. and if we can, that would be his start drawing me here. the big table now is our climate reporter, beatrice, christophe row and be just list talk about what is happening right now at this conference. and we thought that it was going to be a done deal. was going to be easy to get this final text. and i'm quoting here,

failure is not an option. that's what we heard from the summit president, but that's not the case right now. is it? no, it's absolutely not. and now there was even the possibility of failure indeed. or because we know we have a very fraud span of between the countries. i want of fossil fuel phase out. and those for don't. right now it's looking very unlikely that we have any sort of draft agreement in which the, the wording, fossil fuel phase alt will exist, is that one failure would mean in this case, just not being able to agree on a final text. yeah, exactly. and so failure would mean if we don't get all the $198.00 countries to agree on the word. and so that's what we're waiting for right now. will that you and the small islands nations and also other countries and saw the latest draft who said this was insufficient? will they see the alternatives? this? which perhaps will be a bit stronger? will those be enough for them? if they're not, this will be the 1st cop that doesn't have a deal. so that will be a pretty big deal obviously. but we do have to keep in mind that at the beginning of cop, we had an agreement on how to run the lawson damage funds. so how poor nations will

receive financing to deal with, you know, extreme weather in their countries. and even if we don't have a deal here, this achievement will not be lost. ok. and it is important to keep in mind it. why are we though, even discussing fossil fuels at this stage? i mean, the science is clear, right? and is this then the work? as critics have been claiming of lobbyists from big oil and gas, or they have work here in, in, maybe in stirring of the soup, if you will. i mean the science has been cleared for a long time. unfortunately, business interests have always spoken louder. there's thousands of, of coal gas or lobby as a cop this year, some of them even more than ever before run more than ever before. and they can as part of the delegations also. of course, they're not there to just watch the talks. of course they have some sort of influence, but we also have to keep in mind that it's also in many countries interests to know,

keep the, the, you know, to not have any wording around fossil fuels as we do right now. some of those countries have valid reasons, like of course there is meg originations like saudi arabia and the u. a. e. but there's also developing nations like nigeria or uganda. we're saying, hey, we need this revenue from the fossil fuels to develop our economies. and if you guys wanna face them out, we're going to need some significant financial help for this energy transition. so this is something that the global north definitely has to keep in mind when talking about a foster facing. i mean, you know, it, this could be a matter of semantics here, but at the end of the day, if you want to be carbon neutral, carbon neutral means carbon neutral, right? i mean, if you don't want to put it in print, it doesn't change the fact that that's where you're headed. any way. does that mean that even if we don't get a text that everyone can sign onto here, that it's okay to agree to disagree that this does, is that an option, it doesn't even matter. the option to disagree is definitely there. the question is, do you know the company go sheeter is kind of want to have the on their,

on their conscience before the conference started at talk to some active us. and they were saying, listen, if we don't have any wording around those. and you know, if we can even agree to tackle fossil fuels, which are driving climate change and what are we even doing here? like, what are, what message are we sending to the world? but the good news is that even if there is no agreement, this was definitely a significant step forward because we got oil giants like saudi arabia to at least talk about the future of oil and gas. we will see what happens because it's going to be another long night, i think in the bar. oh absolutely. beatrice. think it's gonna have you in a studio. thank you. and where's the look now? and some of the other stores making headlines around the world imposing the pro you government of newly elected prime minister, donald tusk. has won a vote of confidence in parliament. so that means task and his cabinet can now take up the government business task will be sworn in tomorrow by a polish president. andre, due to pakistan's, army says at least 23 soldiers have been killed in a terror attack in the north west of the country. officials say as limits,
