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 trauma trafficking, lots of dealing with trafficking, those type of fences and terrorism. and i think the point that was made, but you know, it's only allowing, like counter terrorism agencies, policing agencies in the u. k will be like the national con, one. you know, a, we agency those things you wouldn't giving 70 police force. it was like when we were in the european union, michigan information system, which was a database that wasn't available. so the police force in the u. k. it was only to send an offices and the 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 more than a 100 percent, if it oversight was proper on it. and i think it would be a great tool. i think that, but we just, we always take something that's, that's meant to be some way and we just, we water it down and we abuse it.

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

and it's a very similar message that we've seen across the median in europe. if we go over to the netherlands, similar headlines that we're seeing there also over german publications here, going with very, very similar message in belgium. what we're hearing is that russia has the chance to make or has the possibility to make europe shiver this winter while in austria, they're suggesting that russia is using gas in order to put pressure on europe. what's really interesting though, is what we're seeing in the media is a very different message to what's coming out from you repeat leaders in the commissioner for energy. that's country sense. and she said, just at the beginning of this month, that while there was no additional gas coming from russian supply is to meet the increased demand from europe that bo same russian suppliers were meeting the very left of all of the contracts that they signed with european countries and it's a similar message that we've heard from german chancellor angle america as well. just get kinda to my knowledge there are noses. russia h

than europe gets new, opportunity is ended, you world europe is not any longer, completely dependent united states. so d, america, europe, america, playing 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, there are, there is no rational reason because the russian behavior or because of economic interest russia sputnik v vaccine is close to being approved by the world health organization spokesman full. it'll be a chair made that announcement on friday. such getting suddenly certificates recognized, internationalist proving a struggle. germany, lawmakers left parties filing a lawsuit after local authorities failed to accept is coding the certificate. due to dam says it means people like him won't have the same free movement rights of other citizens. and it's in stock con condos to hungary, which is treating all vaccines the same. the today spoke to r t. i am got a hungarian who got 2 shots of the sputnik the vaccine can sit in a restaurant in berlin. i also 40 vaccinated woo

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, 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 what the situation is 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. what 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 p

europe gets new, opportunity is ended, you world 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 arm. and since the whole others, pro american politicians fear of a whole industry of turns, this is very powerful. so what we have there is no rational reason there is no, there is no rational reason because of rational behavior. because on ecology, inches. but the reason behind is angie rushing. rave is g in politics made a deep statement. washington the austrian chancellor has resigned as a result of mounting fall out over corruption allegations made against both sebastian curts and his inner circle. the claims against him include a breach of trust, bribery, and making false statements to a parliamentary committee. foreign minister, alexander schellenberg will be sworn in as the new leader on monday. chris denies any wrong doing, saying that the accusation

in eastern europe because no one wants to do the job. we need to be careful that the spiral does not continue, but finally stops. society should put more value on truck drivers. we all know how good it feels to sit on your sofa at home and order something online with next day delivery, preferably with free shipping. often you can't have it both ways, full and prestige for the job can be felt by the drivers, and many young people are asking why they should go into his profession with such a low social status. we also spoke to our truck driver, jeffrey summers who thinks that wages should be increased to attract more people to the job. now before earthy in the seller is the most important thing. if it's not good, the know wants to do the job. i know the reason is that training costs have risen, and independent drivers have to pay for it by themselves. i have a colleague who's training is cost him 12000 euros. the military used to train many drivers who could use their skills in a professional life or to that's not the case anymore. as, as

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? ah, cross sucking e u china relations. i'm joined by my guess i nor tango in beijing 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 anaconda we crossed to luke river, he is an independent journalist, or a gentleman cross hak rules and a 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 or 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 t

europe is at the center of it . and we have this long expensive bipartisan effort, bipartisan struggle and we win a. and now 34 years later, europe and the united states are drifting apart. we have they have a president over there now talking about coming together on climate change. forgive me. i don't want to become partisan. so the soviet union would have fallen anyway and we waste a lot of time and money and the europeans are european, they just clung to us for those decades because we were protecting them against the soviets and it was all just disappointing. will? >> i share a lot of concerns and jamie is along the lines of trying to stand up for transatlantic values and maintain the atlantic alliance and it goes beyond leader to leader relations but it's about the shared values and commitments with korean and american people and one of the research for that is the history of working together first to defeat nazi tyranny and defeat soviet tyranny but each generation in some way needs to relearn those lessons. y

to europe. at the moment they are using existing capacity up to just how much people would want to supply. what we think is if they use all their capacity and they certainly have the gas for it in the winter is relatively normal in europe, we do not think europe will have an issue in meeting demand. the question is whether the winter will be called. that is a different outcome. guy: what is the best case and worst-case scenario for europe? massimo: the best case which is the normal weather condition across europe and also across asia. we think under that condition the market should end the winter in a situation where storage will be below a normal winter but still in a relatively comfortable position. if you get a cold winter in your -- in europe and a cold winter in asia, that could reduce input -- imports to europe. additional demand for the winter in europe and less energy imports. that is the worst scenario. that is only additional russian gas that can save the markets. alix: that is the wor

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 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 wants these long term contracts again, what russia ones is stability and predictability. we discussed the issue with international and strategic affairs expert francis peron, he thinks that there is a u turn happening within the u over the use of russian gas with some countries now striving to import more separate. jessica, you add up to the new in that she strategy, which is scored a net sheet union, which means to speak clearly for you again, co

you end up with all of these strange dynamic swear in europe, -- strange dynamics where in europe, europe needs investment in industrial batteries to increase storage of electricity, but europeans won't buy those in asia because the factories that produce those batteries are powered by coal, so you end up with a shortage of batteries in europe, which means you can't have the electricity you need to power electric vehicles. so there will be sequencing issues where if you take the purest approach where you don't want to have any exposure to coal, you don't build the infrastructure you need to allow this transition to happen. i think that is a challenge which we are in right now, wher it ise a sequencing issue. you do need a lot of energy to transform the system to a new one, but how do you power that transformation? renewable alone won't be enough to do that. alix: how do you make money off of this? bilal: the way to make money is to understand that in the end, paradoxically, there will be a lot more demand for fossil fuels then people would initially anticipate. there has been chronic unde

and the result is it's the transformation of europe at the hands of these viking adventurers. who managed to engage in a series of incredible raids that set them out stretching out across the north sea and the baltic. stretching down along the coastline of the british isles, the first really significant rate in 795 at the monastery in lindisfarne which is usually at the beginning of the viking age proper but then down along the coast of northern france and spain through the straits of gibraltar into the mediterranean. as far as gilly but also swedish adventurers who are able to take their long ships across the baltic down the river all the way to the black sea and then to constantinople, the capital of the eastern norman empire becomes vulnerable to viking attack during its heyday, the 200 years of heyday of the viking age. now, that's the part of the viking story that we can tend to run into and discuss in the history books and of course there's also another chapter to this book. the chapter that usually ends up which is the expansion of region of adventurers further west. vi

p. europe business school in london. welcome to you, sir. as well as prompt getting your overall taken. what's happening now in europe? can i put one aspect to you? the hungarian prime minister has laid the blame for the current gas crisis in europe at brussels doorstep. do you agree that the use push for renewables may have played a role? indeed, it is a major reason for the classes in europe. european loan has been pushing nicholas he for his transition at the expense or i'm dr. collection. in sobering, it has affected investment and production of oil and gas. and without that fixing the demand for them, which means they why, again, the better sense in the market. hence, you're not getting and gas prices. now. they're not a moral. they have been paying politics with the stream turn gas pipeline. if they won't, they won't gas from russia. they should have issued a temporarily operation. her license for not assume can 15 trial b cubic meters. just do that. and then we'll let you go before january the start doing a cation process. so our ques

and europe. as you just said, in your, your 1st story is very dependent, still dependent on the guest deliveries from russia, from our region, from other parts of the world. and russia has built this infrastructure to help her europe, to secure the energy flows through europe. but again, there is this political logical problem, the brussel commission of the you and of course, party like the greens they are a lot of forces in the european union of other countries, especially in the east europe. even countries are against to close corporation with russia out of political reasons, not of commercial reasons. the did seem to be this relentless push towards green policies and with no stream to if that is implemented on it gets the, the full go ahead in europe. might it slow down those policies that depends to be seen, but germany wants to become the, the model for green policy, for a building, a green modernized economy. and it's very stubborn in that. and you will see that the new government in german

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 don't set prices, employers do. and when employers raise prices as they are doing no

and we also need to get a little bit west in europe centric, less western europe century. because when you don't 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 electrified and power. * whilst we move on that fast speed towards energy transition and risk, let's just move the debate on quick and talk about emissions. i mean, what impact do you think the energy crisis then? we'll have on you admission commitments? i mean, if renewables on foss enough and colon 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 that 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 the markets will change again. well, when we're go

they're being shot in europe . and so you can't shot the old way of producing energy without having enough renewable sources to take the place. and that's the issue. this is gone, the push for green energy has really gone too fast, but no one wants to own up to that because it's not very politically correct or favorable right now. certainly, and it's certainly not. and we know that russia is being, you know, criticized for supposedly withholding energy supplies. but moscow has said that, you know, that they're actually happy to step in and help you think that russia could be part of the solution and all. no, absolutely, yeah. but of course, there's lots of political issues that i think the politics have to put aside for the very point that you mention, which is all of the e u workers. and basically the poor. these issues always hurt the poorest. and that's what's gonna happen in a cold winter projected across all of europe. and also you can't move too fast away from an old source of supply until you have a replacem

then europe gets new opportunities and a new world. europe is not any longer, completely dependent to the united states. certainly, america, europe, america, are playing 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 part. and since we have all others pro american politicians here, a whole industry of turns, this is very powerful. so what behalf there is no rational reason there is no, there is no rational reason because the recipe a no. because on ecology interest, molly has accused of friendship forces of training extremist groups and that a deepening feud between the 2 countries. this comes after 16 molly and soldiers were ambushed and killed by terrorists in the african nations north. on tuesday, the prime minister has pointed the finger at paris, accusing france of deceit. se the marlin government still doesn't control the region of cattle, the arm groups trained by french offices. we have evidence of that in our language, there was a phrase he search for a needl

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 and stored anywhere. gas is not sold like that on the market problem being, it seems that they're just on in of contract. people haven't contracted into long term gas supplies. so obviously brush 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, of 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 stored in a barrel until you need it, and then you will access it. no, it doesn't work like that. you can't store natural gas. so what the european lawmakers came up with, they decided that they would switch from co

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 rushes energy joined gas from refused a request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and what mr. brewton was asked of straightforward question whether it 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 using energy as a weapon? russia's not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention as for the economy, where are we using weapons in 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, which there's nothing to support it. when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of t

. europe is not any longer, completely dependent to the united states. so d, america, europe, america, are playing 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 part. and since we have all of our american politicians here, a whole industry of turns, this is very powerful. so what we have there is no rational reason there is no, there is no rational reason because of russia behavior or because of economic interest. but the reason behind this angie rushing believe is g in politics made by the state of washington dc. you watch the weekly here, not in i still, i p, the sad beans with facebook use is unable to use the site for hours over the last few days. with technical problems being blamed, the i teach will have more what caused the black cat just off with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only nationally, i'm going to resis

you can see what's happening in europe, this hysteria and confusion, the markets. why is because they don't take it seriously. soma speculating about climate change or there's underestimates in things, and they're those reducing investments and nick starts of industries. this should be a smooth transition. and st. petersburg russians pop energy officials and the most senior management ad gas from russia's energy giant will be joined by the ceo's of the likes of unit per and winters hall. germany's energy behemoths and also the heads of the international gas union and also the world energy council. it will be up to them inevitably to tame the market. now, one of the solutions many in europe are currently counting on is the launching of north stream to the project as real hope for many major players in the industry. but you may also remember that it used to have and actually still has many enemies, both in the region and also across the atlantic in america. it has the potential to undermine the interests of ukraine, poland, a number of other close partners or allies.

the europe has -- europe has pulled back just a fraction. what we have seen a break in movement, technology shares. tom: absolutely. yesterday, chinese technology stocks listed in hong kong remaining closed. they hit a record low. today, there are gains. in terms of technology shares, we are seeing some fairly solid gains for big companies. the video streaming company is gaining more than 8%. what we have not heard from regulators are any new initiatives when it comes to the swedes on technology. this is likely -- given how the stocks have fallen low yesterday. some gains across the tech space in hong kong. anna: there are the hong kong listings, we will keep an eye on them as things open up in china. sticking with china, president joe biden is planning on holding a virtual meeting with china's president. before the end of the year. on the agenda, trade and rising tensions over taiwan. secretary of state antony blinken has criticized beijing's actions towards taiwan saying they are provocative and destabilizing. he spoke to bloomberg's franc

is trying to turn europe against moscow to your list of 30 for them. we go to school. the us openly say that cooperation with russia is contrary to europe's energy security interests. they want to directly embroiled in this area and reduce our independence. europe's future could look pretty bleak without russian gas. so why would washington treat its friends like this? the pipeline has been completed and it's, it's to the situation now is about approval on the you is in this cool situation when the pressure is going to be maybe not immediately, but the pressure is going to be substantially get this over the line. if with 2 months from now, when we're in the midst of a cold winter, then pressure is going to ramp up and i don't think sanctions is going to ultimately gets in the way about at any rate. winter is approaching. there's not enough warmth to go around, and gas prices have been getting heated. ah ah, to make matters worse, this energy crisis is in danger of becoming a food crisis in the netherlands. energy shortages are forcing green houses to go dark and cold.

our immediate priority is to protect europe's consumers. especially the most vulnerable 2nd. we have to make our interests them better prepared and more resilient, so that we don't have to face a similar situation in the future. natural gas prices have stored in europe in recent weeks, partly driven by a sergent demand, as countries emerge from loc, down's, natural gas accounts for a quarter of the european union's energy needs. the majority of that is imported into the block from countries including how jerry or no way and qatar, but mainly russia. some say that the kremlin is fueling the price rise by failing to boost gas supplies in order to pressure the you to prove the controversial nod stream to pipeline. at an energy conference in moscow though, president vladimir putin said russia was ready to increase supply electron enough push to really to do sure. if they ask us to increase deliveries, we're ready to do so did you? we are increasing them as much as our partners are asking us to avoid future energy crises. the commissioner says, countries must focus on transitionin

and you said that you are not supplying gas through pipelines to europe. but actually, you are mistaken, you are mistaken. and all of those who feed on the information they receive, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe. or the reality is there's a whole multitude of reasons for why demand for gas in europe is currently so high . and why supplies of gas and reserves of gas are so low. so when you've got that high demand and you've got, but while low availability, you get high prices. and that's what we're seeing at the moment we have heard from vladimir putin in the recent past though, saying that once russia's own reserves of gas have been replenished, that we may well see russian supply is supplying more of that gas to europe. i, peter, thanks for that. the pakistani national has been cleared fraud release from america's guantanamo bay prison after 17 years in confinement. this comes 6 years after the u. s. concluded he should never have been there in the 1st place as he was mistaken originally for a terrorist. and even out of on his fate is

we favour energy security of europe. we want to work collaboratively with them, with countries in europe, and with the european union for that case in order to ensure that there would be no jumps like the current one... if you are so determined to send that message, why is it that according to the international energy agency, russia is providing less gas to europe today than it did before the coronavirus pandemic, and the iea believes russia could "definitely do more to increase gas availability to europe." why aren't you? gazprom have in fact started pumping out from its reserves into the pipelines to stabilise the market. i believe the demand skyrocketed against the background of very slow winds that, in many ways, negatively affected renewables, especially in northern europe and in great britain, for that case, in the uk. i am not an expert here. i do recognise that there are such sentiments widely spread out, but i would also refer to it as an element of what we believe is an in—and—out information war that west

it supplies 40% of the natural gas going into europe. there's deep concern in europe about the leverage that gives moscow. are you prepared right now to alleviate those concerns? very much so. in fact, this is exactly what we have done in recent days and weeks, including with direct and personal involvement of president putin, who spoke very forcefully in favour of doing maximum on the part of russia to stabilise this market. we are the most secure, reliable and forward—looking supplier of natural energy to europe. we have always been such a supplier and we will continuously work to this end. we invite all the colleagues in the european union and beyond, including our neighbours, to recognise this simple fact — we favour energy security of europe. we want to work collaboratively with them, with countries in europe, and with the european union for that case in order to ensure that there will be no jumps like the current one. but if you're so determined to send that message, why is it that, according to the international energy agency,

and i believe they would have pushed more gas in europe. and so therefore we wouldn't be in such a dire situation today. terry, appreciate you coming on, get your expert analysis, my guest here, ross energy expert, thank you. thank you. with a natural gas price in europe. i mentioned it a moment ago. i sought in fact, as an all time record, it's now nearly 6 times incredible. what it was just in the spring with a consonant uncles for major energy crunch and it is light that internal divisions within the block of brussels green policies. it oliver has ml, while prices are as high as they are on the commodities markets. 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 uses, 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 ener

yes, the sun is out in the sky that through a good part of western europe. this is incoming cold weather hasn't yet made it for a step a day ahead to friday. still the circulation is that the worst with the probably in greece, not quite as cold in bulgaria. and as i said, spain imports to love it. the sun's out that to be honest, is quite warm, above average by 6 degrees. and in contrast, maybe to balance don't make the average work, tend to be below average in places like sofia, but also bucharest is quite cold. now that's the continued picture into saturday. things improve slowly the picture to the north, incoming winter, but it's still water. many cold snow for norway, which moves eastwards towards fitment. ah, the end of the country with an abundance of results trade far and walk indonesia, his firms forming, we moved full to growth and france. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy. with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs. invest, let be part when denise is

i agree with europe. the city authorities had the right to not to promote algebra t everyone has this prize. nubian union should find another way it look like that. i'm not a sign of pro l g b t zones. that on the other hand, every one has a right to their own life. in under part of the european union, it is very unfair. such things should not be combined. here is the man and here's the money. they're completely separate matters. i think nothing should be done by force. if there is no such need in poland, you do not have to force anything local governors justified there. you turn saying that they are not ready to be accountable for the financial loss. when expert we heard from told us that such an approach by the you to maintain unity in the block as a path to dictatorship. every local power should act according to the wheel. and i have a lot of a degree of power, especially in this case, especially in this case. so, you know, i'm not entering into the subject matter, not talking about about the lesbian g

what would he be speaking today if you weren't leaving for europe? hard to say. lisa: hard to say, or no. this is the issue, all of these false deadlines that have been created. kailey brought up the progressive wing. does it at the senate, does it get the house to a vote on bipartisan infrastructure, which really a lot of people say is the main goal heading into year end right now? josh: and heading into this weekend, where funding measures are set to expire if there is no deal on infrastructure. at last count, no. progressive has said they will not take they will take a framework or deal in lieu of an actual vote, and they are not going to let the house bill go forward on that interceptor bill until they do, so right now, these two are locked in tandem. whether they both get off the ground remains unclear, but biden will try to give it a boost today. lisa: to dovetail this into the question of the audience president biden is speaking to, there is the domestic audience and the international audience as well heading into g20. is the united states united? how much

that is a big open session in german society. >> so how do we evaluate the american effort in europe during the cold war? for decades begins a tremendous and runs through george h.w. bush the cold war is global there is vietnam and korea europe is at the center of the enemy have a long bipartisan effort a struggle as kennedy calls it and now 34 years later europe and the united states are drifting apart there's a president over there talking about coming together on climate change. forgive me. i don't want to become partisan, that the soviet union would have fallen and then to waste time and money and the europeans are european they just clung to us for those decades because we are protecting them against the soviets. is just disappointing. >> i share a lot of concerns and opinions trying to stand up for trans-atlantic values and of course it even goes beyond those values of european and american people so the research is that history but then with soviet journey. that they need to learn those lessons because they did talk about american policy things i want to highlight to pick up o

but does europe have the political will to actually defend itself? ah ah, hello again. russia's 1st royal wedding in more than a century has taken place to the lavish ceremony in saint petersburg, grand duke george halifax, romano, for descendants of the russian imperial family, tied the knot with his italian fields like he's the grandson of the last empress. first cousin who fled the country and declared himself ruler in exile of the 1917 revolution ended the monarchy. low the low down on the right roll event, his egleston of. well, it is certainly a 1st for russia in many, many years in over a century. of course, that's because the groom, the duke here he is coming from the he's a descendant of the russian royal bloodline. but that's not the only thing monarchical about this wedding. it is also the number of guests hundreds of people have decided to well attend the ceremony. some figures very, very colorful, which is already quite royal in scale and lavish, but also many european aristocrats, dukes. and even the last king of bulgaria decided, well

so europe is four times stronger. the united states budget is 20 times, at least 12 times bigger than the russian one. it is senseless to talk about russian aggression against the countries that have armies 14 times stronger than ours. the same with china. if you look at the u.s. capacity in the pacific, of course, it is much greater than china's. and of course, russia and china are cooperating for a very simple reason, because nato mentions both russia and china as enemies, not just as threats, but as enemies. just read the recent interviews of mr. stoltenberg, his message is, "contain russia and strong with china." this is not a peaceful message. hashem: ok. theresa, if nato itself was established to contain what was perceived as a genuine threat by the soviet union , things have dramatically changed over the last few decades to the point where people are saying that nato should rebrand itself and understand that this is a new world order. and you don't need to keep using the mantra of russia as being a geopolitical

busy he also pledged to supply more gas in europe once 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 your stickers as to seattle. but as far as north stream, too, is concerned, what opponents of the project have claimed that this is not a commercially viable product and rushes pursuing geopolitical motivations. well, you know, this is yet another piece of nonsense. just please pay closer attention to what i'm saying. this route is 2000 kilometers, shorter and quicker to our main consumers in europe than via ukraine. easy. 2000 kilometers more efficient. it's cheaper because transit is cheaper. and it's also cheaper for customers because the transit fee has to be included in the end price in particular for european customers. we are doing this despite our political differences. this year we have increased supply by 10 percent acting. that we would very much like them to be grateful instead of only criticizing us more new to le corres

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 2. 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 greener future, 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,

and this in turn led to shortages of supplies in europe. in particular, the prices for natural gas at one point skyrocketed to unprecedented levels and death that many analysts indeed call this a true global energy crisis. but in that times, specifically russia by some has even been blamed for politicizing the matter. and before that for years, moscow has been under fire for some of its infrastructure projects like gas, the nord stream, to in particular for direct natural gas deliveries from russia to the northern coast of germany. and like i've been hearing from many experts here on day one of russia's energy we got there has been reassessment. and reassessment is also something that mister putin has been talking about. he also spoke about what he called mistakes on the part of a some of brushes partners when it comes to their energy policies. so let's have a look at what else the russian leader said about that austin nuggets for you. looked at higher prices on gas in europe are a consequence of a deficit of energy and not vice versa. and

you know, europe has a supply crunch. russia has the gas to supply it. it's an element of russia playing politics, but there is also an element of a lot of money having been invested in noise being do not from the russian side from the european side as well. the russian leader also puts a current crisis in the european gas market. dawn to the eas, rushed push for a green transition, coupled with brussels decision to switch from long term gas contracts to immediate spa, treating the current volatility can be traced back to april. this year. but it all came to a head this week, leaving european citizens to del viet deeper into already under strained pockets. ah. maintaining a trusted energy partnership between russia and europe is a key focus self, an international gas forum taking place in saint petersburg. it is day 3 of the gathering and our correspondent elliott patricia go. is there? oh, look at all these complicated tubes, valves taps gas industry equipment. this has literally become a nightmare for energy officials. lately, natural gas prices in eur
