Heating, infrastructure, hot water on all vital infrastructure. And this with winter on our doorstep, or edwards, after ambassador, anybody will just say, im not just talking about the support of policy makers, zoar filament. There are so many people in germany ring all the way, helping out who have taken england and are people who fled their homes or a helping them find their way. Through the red tape of our schools, of our offices are visitors up. There are countless Civic Society initiative, northern america, town twining schemes, Municipal Networks that are providing very specific help in ukraine. And i want to take this opportunity to thank all of you in our country who are providing most vital aid photo and ensuring that is a continuous fernando. I thank you most sincerely, ladies and gentlemen, for all of your efforts by do you think he got only because this were effects as to football and gripped up . There is no way around putting economic pressure on russia fargo one victim. And i say this to those of you who asked me why we should bear the burden of a war in another country. You know, answers dont the sanctions hurt us more than anyone else. They ask, can we just leave rummage . Why . Because i hear questions like this. A lot better deals up to and i dont want to dismiss them because the fears behind them are real arkenberg anderson. But what im trying to say is we need to answer questions on sanction unsafe wrong. And i am breaking off contacts, supplying weapons to a raging one. Alyssa is taking me something we do every day. None of this isnt for compatible with our ideas of a peaceful coexistence thus far. I believe even, but we are not living in an ideal world. Were living in conflict on dr. Paul, and for that we need instrument to deal with conflict unless brought sanctions a to but what would the alternative these do to stand idly by and watch this criminal attack . I am felt by them to just the carry on as if nothing had happened. Mister horns interested, the 3 warns mid islam in our interests to stand up with our partners and getting them against russias branch of International Law. It is in our own interest to free ourselves from dependence on a machine. With that being on the rules, its tanks against a neighboring country and uses energy, the weapons, it is in our interest to protect ourselves so and reduce our vulnerability legacy. And no one has said this more clearly and succinctly than the estonian Prime Minister did. Recently he said, energy may become more expensive, but freedom is priceless. Mademoiselle rehab, exact ladies and gentlemen, rigdon, as i said, we are living in a conflict and listen. War is our problem to learn. But equally important to me, our country is not alone, and we dont want that to change either an expansion of the war and the most find a Nuclear Escalation when they got worse, even though this must be prevented. I know many people in our country, i long into the police on and stuff and some believe there is a lack of serious effort on our part, a lack of willingness to negotiate. But let me assure you, again, the monday, no one name on them, theyre been there right. My hands lacks the will to proceed on this. But the truth is, this person in the face of evil with good will is not enough. The Nick Sanderson wilson would because talking in russias brutal attacks over the last 8 months mention for our mind just that they are vile. They are in humane balloon dunphy that they put in. I suppose it piece that rewards actions like this a piece that sealed putins lamb grab that mouthpiece, crying for many people in ukraine, that would mean a reign of terror. There was, it would mean abandoning them to the arbitrariness invite since of the russian arthurs science. Worse than that, did it put in a sham piece of this kind would only be an increase of hootons hunger, one small dover, and ga, even our natal partners in the Baltic States live on filaments, mazama in india, and legend. And when the people in ukraine, the men and women and children who fully the russian muss missile attacks in their basements every day they want peace to. They want greece evans more urgently than we do, but they are right. When they say that hes that we long for marcy johnson, he at least that preserves the independence and freedom of ukraine. Good of leading a fast journalism. Im just opinion is not a solution because it carries the salads of new violence and even more than that and lanyard jason pieces will strengthen all those in the world. Whos hunger for power. A grand knows no law does, can that he knows no rules. And that can not be in our interests either on the ground in clayton wine aspiring to peace above afternoon, but supplying weapon honestly a combat zone. Lucy, supporting a warring party, but not being at war ourselves on being under with losing decide in the winter law and sanctions against others, but also suffering from the sanctions. I say yes, these are contradictions in turns. If you the door and every day i hear how many people in germany have their doubts, sometimes even despair about all of this. And its have eyes forward. Again, its an acid tacitly as journey annoyed. So the head wind is blowing fiercely directly into our countries is the new era. It was challenging as you and like, we havent been challenged for a very long time. And i thought it is an ideal that no one can take away from us and for which there is no easy way out. How can we survive as a country that itself is uncertain where we find the strainers we all to stand . These contradictions is that when we ourselves are plagued by doubts, globatiza, i believe. Momentum pleases at this moment of crisis, and more must see. First and foremost, be a moment, assuring ourselves of him while we are doing. Ladies and gentlemen said, lets be clear. Whats i . Whats at the core of who we are . That is something that when last, even in trampled times where the head wind is against us, we remain who we are. A strong democracy at the heart of you at a free, diverse republic of self determination, the se, bottom wolf, from what was turning point in history. That has changed is not the values that we stanfull. I was invisia, but we need to focus on goals and adapt little to the new challenges facing as in 2 years. And we want to be able to say, i want to do that. We have gone through the logon, couldnt worst by law economic troubles in 5 years. We want to be able to say theyre not just ukraine has asserted, its serenity, but we ourselves, we want to no longer feel new, or is in alora. Maybe we want to have a say in 10 years, we held our supply deal together, the meal we helped, the weaker one moment and carried them along and the majority of them retained their faith in democracy. We want to have the same 15 years that despite the war and despite a crisis, we have ensured that include 2 generations will continue to be able to have a good light on our planet. No shying dish conan video for exclusive to owns was london. And yet nation lindas own the lights leave, we wont be able to continue our country success story. Story at the same rate as we have been in the last 3 decades and does for been, but its about the essentials. They are becoming important again and they deserve all our strength. And when i say our strength is what i really like the father, our strength, phyllis, count among come patriots. These are difficult times challenge every one of us, perhaps in times of a tail window. We could still get by without them really putting much of ourselves into things may be handled. We could just leave policy politics to other people, but that is no longer true today. All you do, many of her and our country, you need your will to change needs your commitment to our community and so that we can get where we want to bill as of how long does the reason for you. So what do the essentials require of us and what are we prepared to demand of . I certainly do nation ya. 9. 1 thing is for sure we are going to have to extend the restriction. It was in the us departmentally. Non feel this already. We must all do our lit and this crisis will demand that we learned to be modest again via horn and that it made just sounds like mockery to those who already struggling to make ends meet. And i know that even in our rich country there are many, but you cannot do without because their entire life consists of doing without already these occlusal mentioned, this crisis effect all employing flow. Even before we are of the outbreak of war, i had to fight every day for their very existence, for their home, for good life, for their children. This crisis is 13 began business or belief in self employed, w being, or the people in fact, shops that were doing well or suddenly in trouble because of disruptive supply chains and High Energy Prices was on begins. And this is why at the beginning of any debate, there has to be lucia and sit in our state will not a bad yes, darnel in these difficult times we will use its tyler to help those who cannot make it on her own relief packages and get a little dust from rescue the name of programs, gas prices and breaks housing subsidies support services for companies. Both large and small is all of these are evidence and this will to support an important thing is that the support has to reach those really quickly. Thus good to wide carry no less date in yours, or you can do as much for its citizens as our country can about windsor. But even hours you will not be able to absorb every good and it doesnt have to because the crisis also effects would the menu, unfortunately are strong and who have achieved prosperity insecurity in the lives where the tail wind was in our favor until the north they could cut back without a soft length, existential hardship, and theres also a willingness to do so. Some have written to me to assure him that is trusted in this strong heart of a societal of feeling. And finally, this crisis also affects many wealthy, even rich people in our country, people who have a lot and can carry a heavy burden. And they must help. Now, in order to be able to bear the immense costs of the relief that we must give those who are struggling, they must contribute now to avoid new law injustices. Impressive relief packages are important, but justice and sharing the boy burden is no less important. And much fun that will depend on this legalize law. Demila felice law fellow countrymen and women. It is very clear to me that no one likes to tighten their belts was the path. But id like us that we could change our prospecting, become a d. Last of that, we dont 1st ask who can ease the burden im carrying, but rather say doctors do, will this behavior help us get through the crisis together . This is the attitude that i hope we will enter the winter and together had good. Oh. But it also has to be said, isnt when does that this . When so there is not the end of the story is concerned, as we are about inflation Energy Prices in the war right now. As we are not using vinto, even after this winter time, even after this economy downturn, there will be no going back to the way things were before. And often they clicked because even if the war has shifted our political agenda to clean up on Climate Change moon, she demands decisive action. More especially now going to be honest, i am concerned that this task that all of humanity is facing has been pushed too much into the background. My current Climate Change is not law is taking a break when the m as well you crane is going on an on going for one thing and it is for sure if we want to drastically reduce your emissions and you get away from fossil fuels, were going to have to give up some habits that you know, have come to live on a small and on a large scale from the question of how and how fast on that we get around. What we eat to the question of how we build and how we live here to every individual can make a contribution. Let us start right now. Every step, no matter how small is better than none at all. And yet these individual efforts will not be enough. Our countrymen, because our sins festival economic model is facing a historical transformation. We are leaving the era of fossil fuel industrialization behind us and era that gave rise to germany as an export nation between 9 and we are entering united era or nicole increasingly without in victoria, coal, oil and gas in which germany will have to prove itself a new bad, i have also thought, and despite all of the challenges that im talking about also shows. And this also presents huge opportunities for our country who did not send us nora voiced on the ann was a bit of an gone blog. And it is now the urgent tasks of engineers, developers, you, business and policy makers to ensure that we actually make use of these opportunities. It and that new prosperity becomes possible and new and Better Foundation systems were solved. And we have, i believe, a very good chance of cylinder, morgan, my and because of the Climate Change can only be as brutal in this world if we all work together. And we also need to ensure that in the future, there continue to be institutions and cooperation that reach leanne has the growing geopolitical raylyn lawyer, blocker, and new block confrontations via talent must be avoided. A division of our world right into getting d as the and them have been, as you had saw that cannot be in are in charge in this long live of wouldnt. But guess we need to reduce our vulnerability lines. I think im new to reduce the unilateral dependencies, but that does not mean me to go on lester. Vote connecting and networking and as with the russian, me the world, but maps you surprised to hear when i say we need to connect more and then so not in tying ourselves to the community that spreading our risk and our opportunities, which is why i advise us i can not to and learn all the things that have made german far uses for foreign policy. Strong. In the wake of this turning point in history on google, european route said the efforts to promote international cooperation. The common rules of play dialogue between people who are different courting partners who are different from us. Its not a question was dialed in. Its a question of survival, ordered income for giggling gleam of without a combating Climate Change answer cough. All of this is not even bigger than the this battle needs icy trying to lead us truth. Our strengthened by changing now let it enable our children and our childrens children, a good life on this planet. It is in our hands said, im a town you say ladies and gentlemen, please to come and we are very early on ones but tightening. Ill belt to get through the crisis. We are changing in order to preserve our planet all. Hm. But theres a 3rd thing demanded of us in this new era. We need active, resilient citizen tightened as being because in a nissan times of head wounds attack on our free society, or increasing or got put in his trying to divide europe. Owens, in the way, until he is carrying less poison inside our very societies and we are vulnerable because we are open. And because we want to remain open in done that, the software, the induced rail way networks, the free internet, the software on our cell farms at energy supply. All of these things, as you already know, have become the target of attacks and they will have to protect ourselves better. However, ladies and gentlemen, our democracy is also part of this critical infrastructure, and it is under pressure and only weaken protected learning. And this requires more of from, as democrats than just hungering words of it requires to be the true commitment. And once again on resistance resilience and associates, i was this in time resilient eyes on the citizens stand up for their opinions and voice their concerns. But they do not allow themselves to be taken over by those who seek to ad tags on our democracy items written down north. Vending could be resilient and citizens distinguish between the necessary criticism of political decisions. And on the other hand, generally the attack on our political systems, brazilian citizens endure uncertainty on funding and are not human for seduce by those who promise these easy solutions. Really, rightly theyll expand the policymakers to focus on what is most important in these difficult time. This what is it that you expect at pragmatism . We try and reach allies, fight long quarrels, resilient citizens demand freedom to live with a guest in their own way, but they dont forget and the longer the how much we all depend on august 2nd, at what resilient citizens demand, something of themselves shmear, for instance, respect and reason and thats about really hard is hoped to achieve, but only in his wellness of him that the can we effectively count of the poison of populism, the danger of society than drift or he apart. And there is also what matters when we are facing head winds, instead of letting ourselves starting drift further part, we must strengthen acting with everything and, and by that connects us switch and youre gonna strengthen, youve never been that connect young and old people, theyre insulin on when he has a people are impatient and the guns and accused the older ones of having been too careless with our planet and to hesitate not to change cause the younger feel betrayed and the older feeder. D valued and not recognized, stand for what they have done in the for their children and their country. And lets not play the generations off against each other. Nothing good can come out of your left, the same goal. We want to change our country. We want to make it a better one and that can only be done by working together and so gets the off of it. So for us, the older generation, the older people and, and ahmad sent the task of rethinking, reviewing what we are used to, what we have become un suvan, even late in life and helping to make the change successful. And he said to the younger generation, he in this room does, when i tell them its now up to you, gonna cut them to take responsibility to get involved. None zeiss shall, i feel critically, to light, not destructively, and to change our country. Lets begin about soon and perhaps my to even make it a better one happens and the generations before did and you have my support among just wouldnt 1st didnt, this isnt us on its take look at some of the failing of dark and understanding between a minute where so many people in east germany are currently experiencing good food you would get in was go. Yeah, they feel is a return to the 1999 when certainties collapsed. Livelihood on how much of this and experience, how much of this fear emma has really been understood in the west. We have to do it better this time in face of a crisis. That once again, youre sitting by the east and lenders harder because evens are going to be 32 years after unification ended. Supplies are more difficult, incomes are lower, and savings are smaller. Theyre starting the strengthening that connects us what it unites us to day means thats making sure they didnt want of that. The east place just as a fall behind again organ austin, debate and i know that concerns like religion somehow its a serious ceiling, but i also know that there is light to login at the rising level. I know how many founders, how many world class Innovative Technologies are coming out of eastern germany, thanks to the name of top notch universities and research in situ ice recovery from thir injure, has just been award with german future price for the 2nd time. Like the products that really awaited Semiconductor Production facilities are now being established in sexual and soon will be established in sex in the unheard leading companies in electro morbidity are now also finding deacon to answer brandon will be there. Hes on the side of production against the sol, so its runs all this is very encouraging individual cases. And lets work on this new and sustainable strength of eastern germany. This had been, its our common task. All of us strengthening what connects us. It is a task facing urban and rural areas as well. Many people who live in rural regions, which is the majority in our country. And then they dont even to hopes relate to the debates that we have in my world in the capital, which are in sounds and of much further away from their own problems than the nearest specialist or next post office. Just yet clicking feel mentioned. And then once again, many people in an art cities in metropolitan areas like Little Wonder if you know with a mixture of glorification and at same time arrogance and our areas, they are longing for peace. One of one born in and likes to listen, which they only want to enjoys over weekend on economic fun was often liams, lacking from start and lung is the honest recommendation of a different living conditions, urban and rural areas. And whats the name and a lagging is a willing student and take the needs of people in rural areas. Seriously, thats up to maintain me. Why did you have live in vintages in small towns . This requires more than only a stable and robust Internet Connection that it requires attention was lead and it also requires respect for a different way of life. Give it in, waiting until that. And thats just dad to lying beyond our own horizons on our own reality. Felony in on some good minds, and this is something that we must commit ourselves to. Im young, dont in our country lunch, but it in gentlemen dark, rich and poor, young and old, urban and rural areas, effect strengthening connections across generations. Only thing i am doing dunk, different ways of lives. That is what im thank, but it is very important to me and im grateful to everyone who things of more than just lapel in slant toners, many people in our country. And these are mentions and i doing and clot ones like is there exactly this, they are the backbone of our society. Im desta bad men was that her funds this in recognition of honorary offices of honorary rules and voluntary work should not be min, limited to just fun for them. Fine speeches. The nigger sorta thereby, is the ions up to the under the if i to send in this gig, vince volunteerism wouldnt foresee, is being spread over very few shoulders. And yet this commitment to abba is eager, especially in these times of headwind. Handle is working. Indispensable is relevant to the system. Thats why we need to find new ways to act that. So i began for strengthening our society. Our sense of Community Happened to this and ive made a proposal on free and to be well, but frank, ive did not expect the idea of compulsory and socially time to generate only enthusiasm. What a one to trigger is an honest debate about our commitment. Hes awfully neat, ve the initials and to the common good debate that i hope will not n glider but sort in some back. You are kind, it soon began worse than i am and remain convinced advanced not answer, some unheard and asking too much if we ask people what they are prepared to do in the fall about. So give them more clutch our shit region in society, salmonella and democracy is not possible that without social cohesion after on. And this is something that doesnt happen just by itself. It has to any practice at has to be implemented. Its the result of people who throw empathy instability, so i thought and are willing to help others the that this idea of a compulsory Sophie Service to reject that relationship. This is not an answer to the janitors of our time. May be there are others even compelling concepts, but in the following laws, blood, if the plea him or for social cohesion, its something that may do shortly to resolve mendoza certainly more than a given that said that we need victims, organ guns are more ideas, more people and who and devote themselves in, at least for a certain amount of time their lives to the concerns of country 3 different people were just there wasnt man, im gonna leave against it. Simply listen, gentlemen, thats burgundy. Let me conclude. And been a citizen that indic heezer in terms of crisis down south advising them, getting them to show resilience in the face of hat with the language that was a 15 or something which is are easily suited to life. And i to learn today for the 1st time in history, m. R. A united germany were standing together at a crossroads observation in these alliance. I. Now we read in house forums into england that filled us move into this new era. Are we prepared for what is being demanded . Hes a have from us holes can convince their darker can oh no, yeah, i these challenges ethnic info can lead to a new string sling and designed young and devout and you. So you need to know thats not going to be easy, it will be exhausting. Will we go through a time of uncertainty and stress in forget then well have found new certainty and we saw the ground on our, under our field, and i wish and moon that made us an open for lindas. In spite of all these hardships, we do not to lose sight of her. The foregoing idea that we shouldnt waste our energy in fighting the other dont. If we stood together, if been, if we support each other, if we shall, courage and ambition, then i am sure it provides ones that we will be up to the task. More county, we will preserve my freedom to an annoy democracy. What will turn germany into a new industrial nation, technological leader or pers, responsible above all the climate. At the heart of urea have only 90 worst and well connected, but less vulnerable and defensive. His lunch. Mid mia barton oil internationally cose, an open friendly country with more and new international partners. And im convinced that our country has the strain feature overcome the average. Chrysler has the people who keep working for it at the inter pronounced reset. Se engineers, india qualified student work as our country has the knowledge and the ideas, the experience of generations ya, mission of on said to be young people. So lets trust each other unless we trust our cell. You from being let us not be discouraged by the head wind, said mister hop on the other though against us as many times its about its not important that we all do the same thing in at smart. What needs to liz sat down again. But its important that we have one thing in my act together to strengthen everything that cannot connect us. That is a task. Lets just do it. New. I think that means and you have been turning us from special coverage of germanys president Franklin Stein mire, addressing the nation in a wide ranging speech. He mentioned that germany is pledging strong support for ukraine, that the country needs to focus if falls, adapt to new challenges, remain a strong democracy at the heart of europe to preserve freedom. He said we must support ukraine as long as necessary, both financially and politically. He said it is in our own interest to stand up with ukraine. He also acknowledged that there might be tougher years ahead and he called for solidarity and resilience among the public. He mentioned that the world changed on the 24th of february when potent growth was turned to the chessboard upside down. He said that violated International Law violated the Security Order in europe. And now the struggle is id, ology and dominance. And lets get more now on that speech and how it is being received. I am joined by d. W. As a manual, a child who is at the president spelled to prep palace a manual or what stood out here. Well, there were 3 main points, 2 days after that address a very solemn, very longer dress. So masa a narrow longer dress for hung about her stein, maya, 3 main points with brushes, war against ukraine, of the forefront or hung about us tie my air, went really into details as to his recent visit to key. If he also addressed the crisis that germany, the german, German Society but also german, Germany Economy quite at length. And finally, he also mentioned climb might change Climate Change saying that even if theres a war or ongoing Climate Change, or it was couldnt or an odd not to be treated as something you know, that should come afterwards. But that should be addressed to mike now, so the, the highlight was really good. The war in ukraine because the defect, everybody to affect the entirety of europe. Thats really something that he wanted to make clear. And of course, he went at length on his own experience. He met with ukrainian president vladimir to lensky on october 25th. He was apparently very moved by this visit here, so met with a lot of ukrainians who shared with him what its meant to leave in the country at war and find out of time. Maria said that no matter how hard this war could effect germany, of course this was nothing compared to what ukrainians are going to. So this is probably what really is to doubt. And these speech is this speech was a name strengthening and what unites us. And thats really a plea for unity data. Tango touched on my i just gave to the nation. Is this the speech that the nation has been waiting to hear a manual or well that sir, thats precisely i think. Why did president dressed a german germans, the german population . You know, the society has been, has been a really and settled by the last few months. I think this was a necessary speech. It does. So it is also a speech that was much a weighted hon. About those time i had made himself quite scarce at dca. He had given a very strong speech on europes liberation. They on the 8th of may, but he hadnt really to doubt to where he would usually do so much awaited speech addressing the pressing issues that are, thats where we are. Thats where he is germany. Economy for sure. But also the war. He was also mentioning, or how germany was a reliable partner and aim to continue doing so for nato, for europe saying that even if germany wasnt a global, a global power, it was a very important a european player and will continue to do so. He also address concerns by some people here in German Society dot a p, so should not be attained by or by war. And here address these contradiction in a way by saying that supporting ukraine by sending weapons by sanctioning russia were necessary even if you will. Because in order to have peace in europe, ukraine must remain independent, must remain free. There was the very silver tone. We have to say, i just want to play this clip and then get your reaction. But it did come kind policy makers cannot work miracles. No one hadnt been deposited and not even a german president can take away. All our worries in these profoundly uncertain times. Nobody really does. On the contrary, i believe that many of these worries are legitimate. We are experiencing the deepest crisis, our united germany 7, amman. Its been about, sorry, ive been growing, but im firmly convinced that if we become consciously aware of this moment is turning point in history. If we begin to understand that one era has come to an end and another has begun, done then. And only then will we be able to see more clearly was yet what is now required of us in fisher. And i am certain is a annoyance that we will not have to face this new era in fear. Or without the phone see. I mean, you really just hear the gravity there of this moment in history as he is i, you know, outlining it, ah, you know, the president , we have to mention for those who are not familiar. This is a largely ceremonial role in the country, but hes often seen as the sort of moral compass emmanuel a tell us, you know, germany is, is going through a time of many changes at the moment when it comes to foreign policy. When it comes to the engagement of it militarily, as well, tell us a little bit more about how the country has been taking it. And how should i my address that in this speech . While German Society has been quite a overall, a supportive of the governments stands towards ukraine, the support towards ukraine in germany is you know, the majority of people supports ukraine in the current war. But there are some questions being raised as to germany. Is role, are theyre seeing enough weapons . Are they sending a weapons fast enough, or are theyre reacting fast enough to russia aggression and does question 0 . So questions are preoccupies and Ukrainian Society and others time. I really wanted to address that. He 1st, he acknowledged this was an, a change of iraq or something. You know, that would mark profoundly, German Society even if the war is not taking place here in germany. Bur, but a few thousands of 1000 kilometers away from here. These are so affects German Society, but he said there was no going back. He did acknowledge the enormous waiver of solidarity shown by germans, especially in did direct aftermath of the of the war after february 24th. When many, many people open up opened up their doors to ukrainian refugees are coming in. He also addressed a criticism to was germany and said, well this comes with germany stagers in europe, stages in the war then that germany should get accustomed to that. But he also said there was a lot of good will on the german side, but sometimes go to it is just not enough. But some of that criticism or we have to say has been directed at germany itself and at sti meyer in particular. You know, this of course, are coming against the backdrop that, that he visited ukraine in the past couple of day. Just walk us through the background when it comes to what the learners lensky has had to say about the german president. Well 1st off, this visit on october 25th was very significant. It had been post brown time. And again, since the beginning of the war of 1st, there were rumors that the german president was a wagon in kiev and daddys because when he was a, germany is foreign minister. Well, he had always been very lenient towards russia. He had always been, you know, welcoming russia as an ally, not really questioning russias motives. And thats something that didnt go down quite well in keith and others. So rose a lot of criticism here in germany. So after the outbreak of russias full scale war against ukraine at this position had become quite problematic. And so the defact down to president wasnt, or, you know, being overly vocal about about the aggression when he did speak about the war. He was always hugely critical of vladimir putin, and thats something that he very much highlighted here. Again in bellevue slows and also, you know, the ukrainian ambassador, alexey michael. Yeah. Was also here or today. So i was, are so very strong signal that they read a unity between germany and ukraine with hon. Better style maya sing very clearly, that putins goal wasnt only a territorial gains in ukraine, but also to divide a european European Society to divide German Society. He called a dc quest for division, a poison that was running to society, so very, very strong words dare. And again, he was calling for society to unite against these attempt to divided a manual. The german president also addressing the Climate Emergency we have to say as well because for germans on you know, hes mentioned that this is the most challenging time in at least a generation. How is the government handling the string of crises that its currently facing . Well, this is also something that hung about her on my address in his speech, he said, our Climate Change couldnt weigh that. Neither germany nor the world could wait to address it. That there was no, you know, using a russia war against ukraine to pause the, all the actions that are being taken all the measures that are being taken to try and tackle Climate Change. He also said that in changing, you know, in that era of change while we are, are switching to other forms of energy to us. So to not be independent from russia and gas Ration Energy anymore. This was also the time to switch to greener energy. And he mentioned those, so again, a plea for unity within society. He said less not, you know, oppose young generations against all generations. Lets let us all work together. He did call for resilience in German Society in face of those challenging times because of the war because of Climate Change. He called for resilience as citizens, for people to really come together and manual a child joining us from berlin. Thank you so much. Youre watching d. W. News. Youve been joining us for special coverage, a quick reminder of what we have seen in the past hour germany, president frank bought to shine buyer has called russias invasion of ukraine, a turning point in history.
