it's a short cut 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 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

this will be for europe. let's be clear about that. we need huge financial investments that no country can make when you want to invest for wind hydrogen, you not talking about1 billion euros or10 talking about1 billion euros or 10 billion euros, you are talking about 60, 70 billion euros. when you are talking about being more independent in the production of semiconductors, you need to put 50 billion euros on the table just to build new plants for the production of chips, which means that between china and the us, once again, there is one single place left and i think it will be for europe. bruno le maire referred to staff shortages there. let's stay with that issue because the uk government is offering hundreds of emergency visas for butchers to come to the uk. industry leaders say brexit and the pandemic have led to an exodus of east european workers from the meat processing industry. and they've warned that staff shortages mean healthy pigs are having to be destroyed rather than processed for food. farmers kate moore and vicky scot

europe 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. viktor orban 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 look to the european union exactly for that. henry. when we say social europe, we are citing some social policies for example on abortion or 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 prime ministe

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

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

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

this summer, with the heatwaves in europe and the various floods, you often heard european politicians say the climate crisis is real and it is here. i found that almost an odd thing to say, understood in the context of national politics, but we do not look at africa, four of the world's five most hardest—hit countries are in africa, which happen to be countries that have done very little to contribute to climate change. it is hugely important to see this as a global issue. we experience it mostly locally, do not forget that, but you also made an important point earlier. this is one of the questions that led me to my year of studying, why it is so difficult to break through with climate journalists. ten years ago we had a shortage of climate journalists. just the amount of content. now there is quite a lot but for some reason it hardly makes it into the prime—time news slot or on that front page or the number one spot on a website. what that touches upon is how we decide what is news and what isn't. if you give me a minute, i looked into that question just by asking news editors, h
