the agenda also includes the work on nature. now an invitation, so you're trying to join data isn't necessarily thing for survival. visually, we're looking at all levels to strengthen the position of the train and the entire year. authentic community one piece. i'm grateful to each end up the one who helps us. of course me talk now the dw corresponded max sandra is in keys. he has more on catalyst is meeting with said landscape, right? i mean, every time a leader comes to ukraine, especially during the war there is absolutely on the symbolic value to it. even so in this case, um, today was actually not just the hi representative of the you kind of colors, but also as a counselor presidents the new counsel present that's gonna cost us to come today. and to the enlargement commissioner of course. and they actually all came on the 1st day of picking office, which only happened yesterday at midnight. so that's an added symbolic value here.

but in terms of the actual promises or assurances of that they are giving apart from standing by ukraine side, there was nothing really groundbreaking that was announced today. and they spoke about the assistance and about the negotiation process, your assessment process, and about the 15th, the section package that is supposed to be presented quite soon. um, but one particular interesting aspect that i talked about this was that on the new counselor present cost, as mentioned during the press conference today, is that the you starting next year, every month will shut out 1500000000 zeros from frozen russian assets several directly benefit in the assistance of your crane, but in addition to that, to negotiation clusters for the you, accession process of ukraine will be started, will be opened in the 1st semester of next year. so that's a really long road ahead. try to bring your train up to speed in terms of a, bringing it to us, aligning it with the legislation which could take, take many,

many years. but the process is this is ongoing and that's what they were also here to assure people. and of course, we just heard zelinski speaking about ukraine joining the nato military lines one day, is this aspiration about strengthening ukraine's position ahead of possible peace talks with russia? i mean, certainly yes, um, so there has been there's a lot of fatigue in ukraine but also especially with the, with allies of a few cranover in supporting the congress so far and a lot of talk about or some positions trying to push ukraine to the negotiating table and one thing the presence of things can try and make claim today again, was that in order to be able to negotiate your prey needs a strong negotiating position. they need weapons, they need assistance. and most importantly, they need security guarantees, such as either a new to umbrella protection for certain parts of the country or in the long term

nato membership. and that's the only way it has to be ukrainian say to prevent another attack in a couple of years after 1st after a peace deal, assign to our correspondent, mag xander. they're reporting from the ukranian capital for us, georgia as prime minister, a rock lea callback, he'd say has said that presidents, so low megs, where a beach of really must leave office when her term and this month, the prime minister's comments came after is you're basically really declared she wouldn't step down saying parliament has no authority to appoint her successor following last month's disputed elections in his address. prime minister, a callback he'd say, also ruled out a re run of the contested vote. thousands of georgians have been gathering in the capital debussy to protest the government's decision to suspend talks to join the european union. a reporter maria, cut them out, say, has more and novel tons,

not of anti government protests into p. c. georgians are angry that their government has suspended efforts to join the decision they believe was influenced by russia. one of the rooms of the georgia parliament was set in place as demonstrators launched by work at the building with the ride police responding forcefully to the demonstrations. protests was used anything, it came to hand to block the street and defend themselves. the parliament square has become a real battle. in the past few days, the people are building up the battery case. the anti government protested. say this is a pothole for the european future. mario and canada is one of those, probably protest this. she's a lawyer. but since then the rest started, she has been on the streets non stop. so coast, georgia and government that has decided to deprive us

european future. and just to stop any negotiation with the union beside the fact that the episode of the majority of georgia and people wants to be with europe. and finally, she quite since the legitimacy of the government of october is disputed parliamentary elections. but it is, of course, let's see that all the government wants to know the power and they are having the gun, the against us. but to the real georgia is here. the government is on the prussia, but shows no signs of changing clothes. the georgia prime minister iraq, the called by he's a, has blamed european politicians as well as the opposition for what he described as wireless protests compelled, his best philip. but the main responsibilities on search engine repeating

politicians and bureaucrats and local agents. a 5th called them represented by fall position parties. so i'm a good guy, but he's in says, however, that the relations with west will improve as soon as the will in ukraine is over. maria is back home and she's preparing for another protest. despite the dangerous, mario says she's determined to fight. fear of course is always there. it's a, a nature of emotion. but when i see lots of people around me and we are morally on the right side, of course, that brings us lots of trends. the traces of last nice demonstrations have now been cleared away. but these, because showing bits in a, of, initially the georgia dream party found who makes these billions in russia remain. they be a clear message for georgia to reach us. mine already got stayed away for a brief look now at some other stories making news at this hour in syria, thousands of rebel fighters have taken over much of the city of a level and

a surprise offensive. it's the biggest challenge in years to the regime of president bush or our son. syria is allied. russia retaliated with air strikes, and the rebel held city of edler. the fighting has caused thousands of civilians to flee their homes and rather un agencies supporting palestinian refugees is pausing the delivery of aid through the main cargo, crossing into gauzy due to security concerns. its chief says the road out of the karema show room crossing has not been saved for months and large convoys of a trucks or being stolen by armed gangs. iceland opposition, social democrats have won a snap election with almost 21 percent of those. that gives them 15 of 63 seats in parliament ahead of the governing independence party. but short of a majority, social democratic leader, christian preston, delta could now become prime minister of a new coalition government and voters in lemay, near or electing a new pull him in

a week after shop result in the 1st round of the presidential election. controversial 4 right populous who had been pulling in single digits. one of the most votes in that cold and anti establishment parties are expecting a strong, showing this time around to well negotiations for an international treaty to curb plastic pollution have reached a stalemate and need more time. the german says the un estimates around $20000000.00 tons of plastic waste weeks into oceans and waterways every year. treaty and tends to address this issue. but a divide remains between the countries pushing for a plastic production cap and a handful of oil producing countries who want to focus on plastic waste, dw, as environment reported. louise osborne joins us now for more luis, is it fair to say that this summit has fail to this point?

yes. um, it was definitely supposed to be the case that that would be a um, a global to receive by the end of today. uh that obviously now has not happened and talks are being pushed into next year at the at least. um, the problem is that there is this disagreement between countries that want to see a limit and the amount of plastic being produced. um, obviously as if less plastic has produced them that will be less waste. and the countries mostly oil producing countries that want to see well no limit on the amount of oil that can be used to make plastics and wants to focus on waste. instead. environments list at the conference also said that one of the biggest issues with the fact that there was so many plastics, lobbyists who were, you know, taking part in the negotiations and supposedly over $200.00, which is bigger than the delegation for the e. u. for example, and the environments,

let's say that that has undermined negotiations. reminders why is plastic such a big problem? i mean, the problem is that we're huge, least dependent on plastics from everything, from our packaging to construction materials, tech styles, even toys. um to the point where we're producing around $400000000.00 tons of new plastic every year, that's building up a huge amount of waste and only around 9 percent is actually recycled. so the rest of the plastic ends up in our environment, choking marine wildlife, for example. um, also clogging off our rivers and oceans. and it's not only the waste we knew, we need, sorry, huge amounts of fossil fuels to make plastic which is also contributing to the emissions that are leading to climate change. is there any chance that we will come to some sort of a resolution on this? if not in the short term future,

at least sometime in the future. i mean in the closing plan or use of the meeting countries were very positive about the steps that had been taken this time round, saying that progress has been made. they want to see a stronger treaty in place, which is why many were not willing to let the draft go through as it appeared on a sunday afternoon. and they said that it just wasn't not strong enough, but they are likely to face the same problems again when they are talking. so we'll have to see how they're going to govern that i'm one of the representatives of the pacific island nations, for example, said that he was determined and he said, the future of our communities hangs in the balance. we can't afford to fail. you know, one of the facts that you just brought up, i'm sure is ringing in some of the viewers ears right now, which is only 9 percent of plastics are recycled. that's right. you know, how are they addressing us? well, they want to see

a bigger amount was put into recycling. the the biggest problem is, is single use plus sticks that are then not able to be recycled. but again, putting a cap on the amount of plastic that was purchased in the 1st place, which means that that would be less plastic waste, as it stands at the moment from the $400000000.00 tons that has produced every year by 26 feet. that would triple meaning huge amounts of plastic and the environment and landfills and being fund, for example. a lot of it depends on where you live. i mean, when you live in a place like germany, which they are always telling you here, the recycle bins. it's not really that much of an issue, but louise osborne, many, many thanks for that. here is a reminder of our top story. this our, the use a new foreign policy chief, has made an unannounced visit to ukraine. kai, a callous met with ukraine's presidents. a lot him is the landscape and reassured him of the european union support in the war with russia. callus took office as foreign policy chief. just
