we have also got some geopolitical issues with russia from the new pipeline across to europe, which is slowing the supply of gas down below what we want. going into the winter, that makes the markets very nervous about that. but when this gets resolved, and it will get resolved, and we start to move out of the winter and hopefully have a level of, it's not too cold winter, then yes, we will get the point where markets do have a little bit more confidence, see gas usage start to fall and we will be in a position where prices will fall. the problem for residential consumers is that the price cap works on the legacy of six months, so there is very little that is going to be able to stop the price cap going up again in february, but at that point, as i say, hopefully there will be some deals and that is where we would urge consumers to absolutely start shopping around. keep an eye on the markets at the moment, stay put where you are, but keep an eye, because markets can be very fickle and we don't know how quickly those wholesale prices will start to fall, and if they do start to fall, the

after all, that is what europe offers. and it has always been a pleasure for me, as it is for me now, to answer your questions. the full agenda was business as usual in terms of deliberations, but there was still time to pay tribute to the woman who has helped steer the eu through economic and migration crises to the covid—19 pandemic. while her legacy will be mixed, known as a pragmatist rather than a visionary, she is still by far the longest serving among current eu leaders. translation: she is someone who, for 16 years, has really _ left her mark on europe. she has helped all 27 of us to make good decisions with a lot of humanity at times that were difficult. i recalled in 2020 july, very up for the discussion on the financial framework, the resilience fund, and in critical moments, angela was that lady, that madam who intervened and helped us to find a solution. her influence spanning far beyond europe. so many people, girls and boys, men and women, have had a role model who they could look up to through challenging

germany is by far the biggest emitter of c02 in europe. we would have been earlier in our climate action, but now it is a priority. but relations between fossil fuel groups, industry and mps here are often described as too cosy. there is this conflict of interest with lawmakers with second jobs in big polluting industries, there is the fact that a lot of the gdp of this country comes from big polluting industries. there�*s always the intent of big industries, but go out and asked them what they think, for example, about me, and you will see that at least in this building, there is no conflict of interest. as politicians now talk about green deal details, on the streets of europe there is a rising sense of fear that the time for talk is over. their future is slipping away. that was katya adler reporting. now, from europe to africa, and alongside energy is a big question in climate change, food security is also a huge concern. extremes of weather, including droughts and floods, can put supplies of food at risk. but as well as the threat, t

it's a shortcut from asia to europe for cargo ships. and i'm sure you remember this — when one ship got stuck in the suez canal, it caused havoc. this is my colleague theo leggett. the saga of the ever given itself may now be over but what this affair has shown is just how much impact a single event involving one giant vessel can have on the entire global supply chain, and just how vulnerable the systems we rely on for imports every day really are. that vulnerability from that ever given to the pandemic has meant lots of containers stuck in the wrong places. combine that with surging consumer demand, and the cost of shipping has spiralled. we've never paid more than £2,700 for a 40—foot container coming to us from china. this morning, i was quoted over £15,000 for a similar container. prices have gone through the roof, and it is becoming unworkable. and, of course, if shipping costs go up, so do the prices that consumers pay. in every sector of the timber supply market, prices have gone up and supply chains have been less reliable

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

this is notjust a uk problem — it's europe wide — but there are serious concerns about the widespread impact it could have? yes, when you're trying to raise living standards it is about getting wages rising faster than prices and as the minister was speaking markets were conjuring up an iceberg for him in terms of the wholesale gas prices. i am going to show a chart which is the price is big energy companies pay for the gas that they sell on to you and you can see it going up and away and 2.72 pair firm, typically it is 50p or 60p, ip is seen to be a crisis, it fell back a bit of vladimir putin trying to soothe the market. what does this mean in practice? for now, because of the energy price cap until april consumers will be protected from that extraordinary rise in the wholesale market even though the prices have gone up this month but from april but industry insiders are suggesting is that that chart would mean a rise in domestic energy prices of 30% to 50%, £400 or 500 p, if it was sustained untiljanuary. that is a significant amount, the sort of amount that the government would h

since brexit, there is no longer the same flow of skilled workers from eastern europe and construction companies are having to pay more and more for the right staff. recognising they are in high demand, bricklayers in particular are going back to their contractors, asking for higher and higher pay. we are paying people what we need to pay them to attract them to come to work for us because the labour market is so hot at the moment. but what we are not seeing is the productivity of those people adding value to our business on all levels and at all times, and that is what businesses need to. in order for businesses to be sustainable and to grow, particularly as a small business, we need our productivity to be reflected in the increase in wages that we are paying. construction workers' pay has jumped by 9.7% this year. in the finance and business services sector, pay is rising even faster, up 11.1%. overall, stripping out distortions, the official estimate is that average earnings are up somewhere between 4.1 and 5.6%. the negative affect of labour shortages is most obvious in specialised

"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 lon

it's one of many fights emerging across europe. the wealth of nations versus the health of the planet. who will win? in the fjords of the northern tip of norway, climate change campaigners have set up camp. they form their own arctic circle of solidarity. they're trying to stop the opening of a mine which they say would damage this place forever. ella marie is one of the country's biggest young stars, a winner of the x factor star competition. she is from the sami people, and indigenous community, an indigenous community, that now fears for their way of life. there is so much tradition based off living off nature and the river and the forests, it's such a big part of who we are, and our tradition, and why we live here. these protesters have come from very different parts of norway, but all believe their country's exporter of fossil fuels is putting the planet in peril. i can see basically everyone in my generation and younger than me also being very concerned about the future. we are real people with real feelings and we are very c

europe right now. weekly, in terms of what the uk government might offer or provide, what do you think is on the table — just quickly. from what has been reported and what we heard internally it sounds like some form of support will be part of the package. that might be help but it doesn't solve the problem. part of the problem is notjust what is happening on the international energy markets, but the cost in which government imposes on energy users. our costs of emissions trading to keep carbon emissions down. but unfortunately the cost is very high at the moment especially in the uk where they are higher than anywhere else in europe. there is a climate change levy and other renewable subsidies which some academics have argued or to be paid for by general taxation rather than levies on energy bills. those are areas where government could do something and should because the whole point is to industry going, not have a cath judgement cascading problems elsewhere other areas are affected. if not affecti

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,
