the us government urges rational to the energy crisis causing a shortage of gas across europe. jake sullivan told the bbc that moscow had previously used energy as a political weapon. he warned that doing so now would backfire. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we have seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. that being said, the larger challenge right now is a global challenge, with both oil supplies and gas supplies, and it is a challenge where the supply of these sources of energy are not meeting the growing demand as economies recover, and our message to the suppliers of both oil and gas is that they need to step up to meet this growing demand so as not to imperil global economic recovery, and we are working closely with fellow consumers, including in europe and the united kingdom, to be able to convey that message in stereo. do you think russia are going to try to exploit this? i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this. i think that would ultimately backfire on them, and

for years, europe has depended on russia for much of its energy supplies. in all, the eu gets 40% of its natural gas from there, and about a quarter of its crude oil. that means the kremlin has a big say in the price of our energy, and one ofjoe biden�*s closest advisers told me that influence could be exploited. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we've seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. but do you think that russia are going to try and exploit this? i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this. i think that would ultimately backfire on them and i believe that they should respond to the market demands for increased energy supplies to europe. the fear is that moscow is not supplying as much gas as it could to put pressure on the eu to start using this, russia's new pipeline called nord stream 2. this would massively increase the amount of gas coming direct from russia, through the baltic sea, to germany, bypassing the other main route through ukraine. s

and there are just hours to go until the culmination of europe's first mission to mercury. he though. hello. there could be a breakthrough in the way we treat covid—19. interim trials suggest that a new experimental drug for severe covid cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half. if authorised by regulators, the new drug which comes in the form of a pill would be the first oral antiviral medication for covid—19. our health correspondent james reed has more. on the surface, these are very positive results, and they've come through much earlier than we were expecting. so the way that these trials work, you give half the people in the trial this medication, you give the other half a placebo — or dummy — pill, and you compare what the outcomes are. and in this case, 7% of people in the trial that were given this medication that had covid or had just been infected with covid ended up going into hospital. in the placebo arms — they hadn't had this medication — it was twice that, it was 14%. so that's where you get that really positive result — it cuts

england was the first nation in europe to fully unlock injuly. other countries have followed but have taken a more cautious approach. after a summer of increased human contact, infections have increased. as this graph shows, the uk has one of the highest covid rates in europe, well above that of france or germany. but if you look at the daily covid deaths, while the uk is still higher, a real concern for health leaders, the gap between the countries shrinks. this is an example of the power of the vaccination programme, providing vital protection to those most at risk. how will we cope this winter? the government hopes vaccines will protect us this winter, with more than two million booster jabs administered in england alone. to protect schoolchildren where infections are highest, covid vaccines are being rolled out to over 12s, while the nasal flu jab is available to under 16s. issues obtaining consent have caused delays, potentially to the end of november. concerned about health risks and disruption to education, experts say other measures shoul
