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

china, the united states, india — and europe. put together, the eu and the uk produce more than 7% of c02. in the latest in his series of climate profiles, my colleague ros atkins looks at what the european union is doing to keep its climate promises. we know where they want to go and what we need to do to get there. �* ,., ,, there. and some progress has been made- — there. and some progress has been made. from _ there. and some progress has been made. from 1995 - there. and some progress has been made. from 1995 and i there. and some progress has i been made. from 1995 and 2020 been made. from 1995 and 2020 be either reduced emissions by a quarter, beating its own targets. aim is to reach 55% of 1990 levels by 2030 and aims to get to 40% of its energy from renewables by the same point. the strategy to get there includes carrots and sticks. say emeka to accept and change business models and the behaviour of investors to finance green investments and penalise those who don't make this move. wide by the eu is clear on the scal

i think if you look at the rest of europe, nowhere else in europe generally is having to ask people to take a test once you actually arrive in the country. so i think it deftly puts it in line with other european nations. and it is a really positive move. people have been really confused over the last few months as to which tests they had to win they had to take them. the removal of the predeparture had to take them. the removal of the predepa rtu re test had to take them. the removal of the predeparture test which we had to had to take to get back in the uk was another really positive step forward because for a lot of people, they wouldn't worry about going on holiday, what happens if i catch covid while i am abroad or do i have to quarantine abroad? it was yet another worry that was taken away and hopefully will encourage more people to book. the and hopefully will encourage more people to book-— and hopefully will encourage more people to book. the pcr tests have been coming _ people to book. the pcr tests have been coming down _ people to book. the pcr tests have been coming down

it has since levelled up to be one of the most productive regions in europe. stoke poges new store of course have its problems, but they are overwhelmingly caused by the sheer lust of other people to live in or near stoke poges. too little time with the kids, the constant anxiety that you're a memorial view of chalk downland is good to be desecrated by ugly new homes, and that is why levelling up works for the whole country, that is the right and responsible policy because it helps to take pressure off parts of the overheating south—east while simultaneously offering hope and opportunity to those areas that have felt left behind. and let's be clear that there is a huge philosophical difference between us and labour, because in their souls, they don't like levelling up. they like levelling down. they do. they like decapitating the tall poppies and taxing the rich until the pips squeak, they dislike academic competition, and i have seenin academic competition, and i have seen in my own eyes in islington, the like kids to run races when nobody actually wins. an

the import from europe and what we have in the united kingdom will sustain us more than happily. but toys, electrical goods, white goods, it will be difficult to get them in. more than a third of the uk's freight container traffic is handled at felixstowe. shipping giant maersk is now re—routing some of its biggest ships away from the port to elsewhere to europe, using smaller vessels to unload goods in an attempt to ease supply chain pressure. adam's haulage business moves 100 containers a day, but a lack of space at felixstowe means his drivers are taking containers back to liverpool now instead. there is a massive backlog of deliveries created by the driver shortage, brexit and a number of other things. that has just all created a perfect storm. but this is a global issue, with similar situations in ports across the us, china and east asia too. problems here first began to emerge injuly. port officials say the situation at felixstowe has improved in the last few days. i am pretty confident in the ability of our colleagues to deliver on time and for the supply chains and reta

it's going to take everything to get results against the best teams in europe and the world. and liverpool are one of them at the moment. they are one of the teams we are chasing and trying to chase, because what they've done the last four years is something that we are striving towards and of course go past them. that match kicks off at 4.30 — and before that, at two o'clock, it's brentford versus leicester and west ham against tottenham. the first of the day's t20 world cup matches is underway in sharjah. sri lanka won the toss and put bangladesh into bat. they may be regretting that decision because bangladesh made a healthy 171—4, including a brilliant knock from mushfiqur rahim, who made 57 from 37 balls. in reply, sri lanka are 28—1 from three overs. this match is in group i, which england top after their thumping win over west indies yesterday. there's text commentary on the bbc sport website, with india against pakistan in the other group at 3 o'clock. english all—rounder evejones top—scored for melbourne renegades as they beat sydney sixers in the women's b

before a french parliamentary committee, europe minister clement beaune spelt out what�*s to happen. from tuesday, he said, no uk fishing boat will be allowed to unload its catch in french ports. there will be intensified inspections on uk goods entering france by ferry and the channel tunnel. and in a second wave of measures, france may raise the tariff on electricity it supplies to the channel islands. france says this is because the uk and the channel islands have failed to keep their side of the deal on fishing licences signed as part of brexit. the british government says that�*s not true. it is very disappointing to see the comments that came from france yesterday. we believe these are disappointing and disproportionate, and not what we would expect from a close ally and partner. the measures being threatened do not appear to be compatible with the trading cooperation agreement or wider international law. the licences row flared in may, when protesting french fishing boats sailed in flotilla intojersey waters and london sent in two navy patrol boats in response. today, though
