or, you know, outside europe. then i think that we would be looking into a more and more successful global position of europe in the world. and you are right now we need to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral way. and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay. i mean, we're brought out of time. we've run out of time, i guess the major question is can europe survive the european union to be continue gentlemen? ok, many thanks them i guess in paris and in guilford. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r t c. next time. remember, talk with with kaiser financial survival guide. when customers go buy, you reduce the price. now well, reduce a lower that standard cutting, but what's good for food market? it's not good

of europe in the world. and you are right, we need to do to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral away, and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay. i mean, we do have run out of time. we've run out of time, i guess a major question is, can europe survive the european union to be continue gentlemen? okay, many thanks them i guess in paris and in guilford. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r t c. next time. remember, pa stuck with ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking together for the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by h

europe stands at a crossroads will remain dependent on washington is a junior partner or will europe ought to play the role of a great power on the world stage. i cross talking e u china relations. i'm joined by my guess i nor tango in beijing. he is a political and economic affairs commentator in prague. we have brad blankenship. he is a columnist at c g, t. and as well as an rti contributor and in elecom that we cross to look revenge. he is an independent journalist or a gentleman, cross hoc rules and the fact that means you can jump in any time you want. now he's appreciate, look, let me go to you 1st here. i mean, it, you know, on the face of it, you know, the europe's relationship or more rather you relationship with china is very convoluted because major training for our trading partners, a major investment deal. i'm kind of stuck. but, you know, there's been, there's an understanding about investment and, and then we have, you know, nato, i'm saying, you know, you know, china is no different than russia. it's the same threatening landscape. i mean, it's very convoluted. i mean

you in gas prices in europe. he take new records with the german government warning people to prepare for a close to freezing month. meantime, the country energy regulators still the ground and operating license to the now fully completed russia node stream to gas pipeline.

so not stream to again, could help them out, could help europe, europe out and because it, well it is, it is a new technology and it can handle the large volumes. but well, it is being opposed to the launch of nord string to is being opposed due to political resit reasons. russia says, so. so far russia has been very understanding and will, has been doing according to the russian president again, everything that it could. but it is unclear as to how many more steps russia will take, you know, are which won't be reciprocated for some of her dates relation. i really enjoyed as well. basically, a u energy officials got greedy thought of being clever, and they messed up. thanks so much enjoy that they get it better than i did. now, thea, natural gas price in europe, as we said, it's in soaring salt on ice recently. it's now nearly 6 times what it was in the spring while and is put the continent on course for major energy crunch and laid bare internal divisions within the block over brussels green policies. what is peter oliver explains? while prices are as high as they are on the commodit

i and i haven't been to europe. and i don't, i don't understand the point that you're making see, she hasn't been to europe though. what does that have to do with her job to handle? one of america's worst ever boarded problems. ran in yours is a little bit. and if you think about it camel harris fits perfectly into the now very political hollywood crowd. and just like silver screen superstars, sometimes she just misses the target with some of her statements just a few days ago with israel, which has my heart because i think that people have that that. and again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth, and then just like a good agency, her office has to clear the air. while visiting george mason university to discuss votes and writes a student voice to personal opinion during the political science class, the vice president stroke would disagree with the student's characterization of for israel smiles and handshake. so they work miracles when you're making a movie, korea,

and we also need to get a little bit west in europe century, less western europe century because when you go to, you know, athlete time, other places where people need mobility, they may not have the money to invest in all that an electric vehicle infrastructure. so we need to make sure we keep the we still and like we find and power whilst we move on that fast speed towards energy transition address. let's just move the debate on quick and talk about emissions. i mean, what impact you think the energy crisis then we'll have on you emission commitments . i mean, if renewables on foss enough on cold and gas as you say, a plug in the gap, how is that like it? and to play out next month, clock $26.00 in glasgow. well 1st of all, i say, you know, the current crunch said we're talking about is, i mean, it is not great and it's difficult and it will affect the most vulnerable people across europe and elsewhere. but i would still say it's temporary, it is something that will go away after you know, a couple of months when, when the markets will change again. well, when we're going to have a

as europe grapples with high prices. the president also agrees to boost supplies to the you while saying the block brought the crisis on itself. what church against the state catholic bishops in france at loggerheads with the government after a report reveals hundreds of thousands of crimes against children committed by the clergy. we speak to one of the victims. when we came to france, i was 8 and 9 years old. so i spent almost 2 years there until i was sexually assaulted. but pray not what shameful is not apologizing for an atrocity committed in catholic institutions on hundreds of children. ah. i brought kathy live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our t international. glad to have you with us as we recap to weeks top stories. but 1st we start with our special coverage of a trail blazing russian film. their crew returned to earth from the international space station. actress julia per sealed ended director clement chapin co spent 12 days on board. the i assess making the world's 1st movie shot in orbit. ah ah

he also pledged to supply more gas if europe requested it. he also stressed the importance of the now completed nord stream to gas pipeline, under the baltic sea, which is still awaiting the final green light from europe. this year to look up as far as north stream to has been served or what opponents and the project have claim that this is not a commercially viable product and russia, if pursuing geopolitical motivations week, well, you know, this is yet another ballistic nonsense. is that what i just like to pay closer attention to what i'm saying on this route is 2000 kilometer shorter and quicker to our main consumers in europe that and via ukraine d. c. 2000 kilometers more efficient. it's cheaper because transit is cheaper to do, and it's also cheaper for common virtues because the transit fee has to be included in the ann rice in particular for european customers. we are doing this, it isn't white, are political differences. this year we have increased supply by 10 percent. again, let me very much like them to be grateful. instead of o

of europe in the world. and you are right now we need to do to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral away. and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay, when we run out of time, we've run out of time, i guess a major question is, can europe survive the european union to be continued gentlemen? ok, many thanks to my guess in paris and in guilford in an thanks to our viewers for watching us here. at our t. c. next on remember prostate with ah, ah, also for eric room identify 2 types of freedom, freedom froman, freedom to. and while we all idealized the lesser achieving the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age. this is especially true for africa, which, for centuries has been exploite

so the real income of workers in europe is rising. that's a testimony to a lot of things, but it includes the much stronger position of their labor movement, which is able to make things happen there that we don't have here. and i think that americans are learning that they're looking fondly and enviously, and they're going to be moving in the logical direction to get closer to that. now we're speaking of the timing here. i mean, we've obviously been talking about huge supply chain constraints recently as all of this goes on and we look at strikes that, i mean, john deere, catalogs named best go just to name if you could, these cause further issues, they actually get employers to listen more so than they would have in the past. yes, but i think what we have to look at is, is to be a little careful here. and a little economics, basic economics prices rise. when the people who set prices choose to raise them, those people are called employers, employees on set prices, employers do. and when employers raise prices as they are doing now a

we, in short guaranteed uninterrupted gas deliveries to europe. we have every reason to believe that this year we will reach record levels of gas deliveries on the global market. when prices are volatile, when they're going through the roof, what can help with that extra supplies? president prudent said that there was not a single occasion when russians entered you, joined gas from refused request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and what mr. brewton was asked a straightforward question whether moscow has ever used the energy sector as a political weapon. his answer was straightforward. no, want to ask you about it directly. has russia been use hang energy as a weapon? rushes, not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention as for the economy, where are we using weapons and what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. there's nothing to support it when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of the

and it's going to mean soaring bills from millions of households all across europe. some ag politicians have pointed the finger at russia's gas from accusing it of manipulating the market to push through the approval of the nor stream to gas pipeline. but vladimir putin is pledged to boost gas supplies, appears to have lessened these concerns in the western media. have a listen to this at russia wants it to be approved. but i don't think much is really doing anything wrong here. you know, europe has a supply crunch. russia has the gas to supply it. russia does instantly benefit from care for the market. they want high stable prices and they want to be seen as a reliable partner. some words soothing words, i guess which we rarely get from mr. potent actually helped reverse that. 3540 percent jump over night in natural gas over in europe. desson element off of rossa playing politics, but there's also an element of a mom of money having been invested in noise being do not just on the russian side from the european side as well. with outgoing german chancellor, anglo mer

and on that of europe with the benchmark. and on than , , ., , of europe with the benchmark. and on than , , that there will be people across euro -e that there will be people across europe thinking _ that there will be people across europe thinking is _ that there will be people across europe thinking is there - that there will be people across europe thinking is there any - that there will be people across - europe thinking is there any respite coming? there might be in the medium—term? i coming? there might be in the medium-term?— coming? there might be in the medium-term? ~ , ., , medium-term? i think if you see some sianals in medium-term? i think if you see some signals in the — medium-term? i think if you see some signals in the next _ medium-term? i think if you see some signals in the next week, _ medium-term? i think if you see some signals in the next week, that - medium-term? i think if you see some signals in the next week, that these i signals in the next week, that these will be used more than they already are, then that will bring down the whole price an

in reality, at gas supply, see europe have actively increased as well. that was one of the main points of the, at speech as well. and even during the toughest parts of the cold war at rushes fulfilled its contractual obligations. as regards the supply of gas to europe, and quite a lot of impassioned responses from the russian president as he was speaking there at let's in fact try and take a quick listen to one of his response to miss gamble on one of her questions a little bit earlier, he won't speaking for 2 and a half hours at this was one of the responses look of this assume a but well as far as not stream to is concerned. what the opponents of the project have are claimed saying that this is not a commercially viable product, and that brush is pushy, not renew due to political motivation. but you know, this is yet another piece of nonsense. just please pay close attention to what i'm saying. this route is 2000 kilometers, shorter and quicker to get to our main consumers in europe than via ukraine. 2000 kilometers more efficient. so it's cheaper beca

or, you know, outside europe. then i think that we would be looking into a more and more successful global position of europe in the world. and you're right . we need to do to get the act together. ah somehow ah, we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral away. and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay, when we do have run out of time, we've run out of town, i guess a major question is can europe survive the european union to be continued gentlemen? okay, many thanks to my guests in paris and in guilford, and thanks to our viewers for watching as he heard our t c next time. remember, ross stuck with ah ah, ah ah, [000:00:00;00] ah ah, ah, ah, oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for com

not in a spot in europe, but on an exchange in st. petersburg. but in general, exchange trading is not very effective because it carries a lot of risks, is not a watch shorts and ties or a car, or even oil that can be produced in store anywhere. gas is not sold like that on the market. so stupid, honestly. so the sense i'm getting is her from listening to what it is at the same what you explained is it, you know, russia is a reliable supplier of gas. it stays by the word of its contracts. the problem being, it seems that they're just on in of contract, people haven't contracted into long term gas supplies. so obviously russia is not going to want to be made out to the bud guy here. what can you do with regards the pricing? well, man, you're absolutely right, and the thing is i, the european lawmakers might have shot themselves in the foot here. and, well, conceptually nukes the wallets of the end of the line, consumers of ordinary europeans. so here's, here's the thing about natural gas. it's not oil. you can just, you know, get it one time store

we are being criminals and terrorists, a terrorist threat both in europe. i know north america since we'll have enough gummy. so if you did look out, i mean i'm talking about dealing serious organized crime. so trafficking, i'm not so much of dealing with cs trafficking, those type of fences in terrorism. and i think the point that was made, but you know, it's, it's only allowing, like counterterrorism agencies, policing agencies in the u. k will be national con, one. you know, it, agency, those things you wouldn't give it to the police force. it was like when we were in the european union, shang and information system which was a database that wasn't available. so every police force in the u. k. it was only to certain options and to pounds i just happens and all of them in the united states were, were abuse. we just abuse. so if it was, if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up, work and a 100 percent, if it oversight was proper on it. and i think would be a great tool. i think that, but we just, we always take something that's, that's mea

our gas supplied to europe. the number one ingredient in mr. putin's recipe for the volatility in prices. not to come back . any time soon, that is a long term contracts when gas prices aren't fixed, but they depend on the current market situation and the oil prices. by the way, what's a major cause for concern for us? some very important european politicians is the transit of russian natural gas through ukraine beyond 2024. well, lot of putin sent that russia is ready to keep that in place, as long as it knows how much gas europe is willing to buy in the future. i e, he, once these long term contract, again, what russia ones is stability and predictability. the till catholic bishop in france has apologized and backtracked, after claiming church secrecy is above the law. he was earlier reprimanded by the interior minister, foreseeing that when priests learn of crimes during confession, they're not compelled to tell the police. it follows an inquiry which on earth more than $300000.00 alleged sex crimes against c

yes. together, europe is necessarily weak, precisely because we use the word europe, but it doesn't really mean anything. and the consequence of this is that the united states can behave in the most bizarre way towards europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special on baxter with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation. and there is no way in which euro can form a hold that and i jump in here, i'm going to hold, i'm gonna jump in here. please hold that thought we're going to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on european securities names are going ah the lack of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself . we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with a special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life in

the natural gas price in europe has soared to an all time record. it is now as 6 times higher than it was in the spring on bouts pumped the continent on course for a major energy crunch. lieber internal divisions within the block over brussels green policies. as ortiz peter oliver report, while prices are as high as they are on the commodities market, this isn't so much going to trickle down to consumers as perhaps these prices are gonna fall upon homeowners. from a more domestic home users form a great height to what we've heard from the european commission. president ursula found a lion is that she recognizes that there are major problems that we're facing right now and problems that are coming down the pipe further along. but says that in the long term, it's renewable energy that are going to keep energy prices low across europe. i think we have to be very clear that the gas prices are skyrocketing and her, but the renewables, the prices have decreased over the last years. and are stable so fast is very clear that with energy in the long term, it

people are very worried about this in europe and, and then we're ready. the fingerprinting's are happening. oh, what is really behind all this as you see it cutting through it all. okay. there is no lack of gas in the world. and a good example of it is the fact that the price of gas is not increased by one euro cent in the united states of the last you. but while can europe, it has increased by more than a 100 percent over one year, which is of course a lot and winter is there. so the, the cyclical and very temporary increase of the price of gas on will last for another few my, what's going wrong, hitler failed. why is more happening? what's happened this year was different. this is cooper compared to other years. we've had cold spells in the past. come, yup, not even that cold yet. yet, but it's the end of the covey. pandemic andy energy is early. a coming is recovering. so everybody asks for or gas the reserves are low. so there is a lot going on everywhere. economically speaking in asia and in europe, and so the demand is high and the spot prices are g

just days after the legend person pledged to boot supplies to europe, dozens of people i reported the code in an apparent suicide bomb attack on a sham mosque in northern afghanistan. it comes just 5 days after. and now that talk that also targeted at most with the european parliament ponce's and known binding resolution seeking to farm police use a facial recognition software and public places with m. p. 's having it as a major victory. our gas base b is good museum in criminals. and cherish, that'll be abused like crazy. there's a great saying and law enforcement goods. when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. ah, this is been using all seen to national with me you national follow the thanks for joining cause a growing in the u. s. to slap new sanctions on russia over the new stream to pipeline in light of europe's enterprises. it comes just days after vladimir putin splish to ramp up natural gas supplies to europe, as prizes hate record highs. aussies donal court. i took my colleague unit o'neill through the details. they're basically being accused of trying to artificia

, then europe gets new opportunities and a new world. europe is love any longer, completely dependent to the united states. so the america united america playing dia, politics to preserve their global leadership role as the only superpower. and they don't care about consumer prices and energy security. in europe, they care on their ah power. and that's the game giant. and so they, they are supporting the warranty ukraine they are attacking. and then she surprised russia. it's one strategy. and what we see is, is a part of that strategy let. so let's, let's talk more about this gas issue and what, what is going to a bit of a gas argument really. so no stream to the, the latest russian gas pipeline going directly from russia under the baltic into germany. it's basically completed now and they've just started putting gas just in the 1st section of his pipeline now. so it's not going to get to europe for a while. but there are numerous rash, russian gas pipelines that feed europe from the north, from the east, from the south as well. does it, you know, after all these years of anti russia

yes, together, europe is necessarily weak, precisely because we use the word europe, but it doesn't really mean anything. and the consequence of this is that the united states can behave in the most bizarre way towards europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special on baxter with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation. and there is no way in which euro can form a hold that i jump in here. i'm going to hold, i'm gonna jump in here, please hold that, that we're going to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on european securities name starting ah with imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what are the chapters cold, gun violence, school shootings, homelessness? first, it was my job and then it was my family. didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs. i look for everything i can to make this pass and i e

the fact is europe depends on moscow for most gas. is russia using the crisis for geopolitical leverage? guest: you are touching on a very important topic. russians have not done anything wrong. they supplied the contract they are supposed to supply. but they have not done much more. what they typically do over the summer is restock through ukraine and other countries, and they have not done this which means we are now at 76% of storage being filled up, compared to 90% on average of what typically happens every year. which means now russians are using this to make the case for supply security being insured by way of bringing their new pipeline, which has been completed, but it is not operational yet. so russia is now essentially suggesting that in order to avoid a supply crunch this winter, you better make sure your regulatory authority has made sure this becomes operational. it is certainly about geopolitics, not necessarily about market behavior. host: an interesting quote from putin blaming the crisis on what he calls the eu his st

then europe gets new, opportunity is ended, you worlds, or europe is not any longer, completely dependent to the united states. so d, america, europe, america, playing dia, politics, to preserve their global leadership rule as the only superpower and they don't care about consumer prices and energy security. in europe, they care on their level palmer. and since the whole of is pro american politicians, fear of a whole industry of this is very powerful. so what we have there is no rational reason there is no, there is no rational reason because the russian behavior or because of economic interest. but the reason behind this angie, rushing rave is, gee, and politics made a deep stain on washington dc. it's exactly 60 minutes past the hour without international at the weekend. it's the weekly them. or we recap some of the big stories of the last 7 days. this was one of our big was this billions of facebook uses, unable to use the site for hours with technical problems, blame for the outage. that struck not once but twice. the luck of that and i will tell you what was behind it when we're bac

of europe in the world. and you are right now we need to do to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral way. and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay, when we were brought out of time, we've run out of time, i guess a major question is, can europe survive the european union to be continue, gentlemen? ok, many thanks them i guess in paris and in guilford ink. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r t c next time, remember rostock with ah, with oh, is your media a reflection of reality? with in the world transformed? what room you feel safe? ah, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led to some with direct? what is true war? his faith in a world corrupted. you need to descen

in fact, that is something that could double the flow of russian gas to europe. however, it's still yet to be certified in that process has begun at the beginning of september, but 1st it's up to the german energy regulator to give the green light to it, then they're supposed to pass on a draft to the european commission. and this is a process that could take up months and with the, the many enemies that nord stream to has had both in europe and across the atlantic . that their accusations, that is bureaucracy and some want that to happen on purpose. and we've already heard from one of the major players on the market that nord streamed to with all this bureaucracy may not be able to help with the situation this winter season. the certification of the pipeline, as far as i know will be so light, it will probably not be able to help was out this winter when it comes to gas from the russian energy giant has been increasing exports. and we can name loads of the european countries from romania to greece, finland, italy at the exports are growing even though previous t

europe's as a capitalist club, or social europe. the french issue and polish issue and hungarian issue are extremely important because they are a challenge directly to the idea of social europe. the polish government and hungarian government want to be able to run authoritarian governments victor 0rban has said he is leading an illiberal democracy, in poland women have tried to work very hard to regain the right to abortion and most polish people want to stay the eu. so the union has a very difficult challenge ahead which is how to keep poland in while protecting the rights of people in poland who looked to the european union exactly for that. speak why henry. when we say social europe we are citing some social policies for example on abortion where the treatment of lgbt people but let's remember when it comes to poland specifically we are also talking about a pillar of democracy, not just social policy and that is the judiciary, which in poland has now become subordinate to the ruling party, to the law and justice party of the prim

we are increasing as up anatomy, increasing our gas supply to europe. the number one ingredient in mr. putin's recipe for the volatility in prices. not to come back any time soon. that is a long term contracts when gas prices aren't fixed, but they depend on the current market situation and the oil prices. by the way, what's a major cause for concern for us? some very important european politicians is that the transit of russian natural gas through ukraine beyond 2024. well, lot of our putin said that russia is ready to keep that in place. as long as it knows how much gas europe is willing to buy in the future, i. e, he ones, these long term contracts, again, what russia ones is stability and predictability. still ahead on our team. international aid domain french government report reveals hundreds of thousands of crimes against children over the past. 17 years covered up by the catholic church. either we hear from one of the victims to the brain a ah, is you'll media reflection of reality in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolati

ah ah, what russia is, europe's biggest gal supplier on vladimir putin has said. the current shortage is partly done to the use own mistakes. he accused brussels of short sightedness for insisting on a switch from long term gas contract to the more immediate spot. treating the president also stress that moscow will keep to its obligations under existing contracts, a spruce ashatash. this cast from believes that it would be more profitable for it to pay a fine to ukraine and increase the gas volume pumping through the new systems. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper and a $3000000000.00 a year, but there's no need for that. it is necessary to 40 comply with the contractual obligations for the transit of gas through ukraine, although it is more profitable to sell it on the exchange. but there is no need to but any one in a difficult position, including ukraine, despite the difficulties in relations. second has no need to undermine gas prompts confidence is an absolute reliable palm that in all res

gazprom can supply more gas to europe. but refuses to do that, saying that we will do that if you accept gazprom's terms of handling nord stream two. it's very simple. this is pure blackmail. today, president putin hit back. it was europe's fault, he said, that prices were ten times higher than last year, because the eu didn't want to sign long—term energy contracts. no wonder the russians are smiling at their annual gas forum. they know the eu relies heavily on russian gas exports. britain imports very little natural gas from russia but the uk has been hit too by the skyrocketing prices on the energy markets. russia's position is very simple. we've got the gas you need, we've got a brand—new pipeline to deliver it, so let's do the deal. and considering how acute the energy crisis is becoming in europe, that puts russia in a very strong position. and since europe has committed to a greenerfuture, it may, for a time, need more gas as coal—fired plants are phased out. so long as europe is using as much energy as it is,

so to plan, to grow in his steady way was like any of those who take eastern europe or western europe a little crash the mrs. every month because limited them really shows the 30 tariffs are increasing grain. you take ukraine, the same thing, a garage and use the problem was solution do you? i think that they will pay about $200.00 per 1000 cubic meters, while their average income per capita is 230 just wasn't there because get the cookies. so consumers will hardly be able to pay for it. so there is a mismatch. and something will crumble the the unit and was the sum of the regions contract refused to sign contract, sir, in order to buy energy because they can't afford it. where it's a yeast limit. william is valencia on up a credit, so we need to have balance solutions, missouri, otherwise it will multiply issues and not to to is to address those issues that balanced approach. are you satisfied with the level of government and support that you've seen in the u. k. specifically, off the back of the energy crisis. forest johnson went on vacation. is the u. k. government doing an do you
