the council of europe has issued as late as verdict, human rights and democracy in europe. and it makes unpleasant reading. europe's democratic environment and institutions. it says are in neutrally reinforcing decline. we talked a lot about democracy and human rights on this program and spend a good time holding politicians to account for actions for the peace when danger those rights. but the situation is not so critical. we decided to question a leading official just trying to protect human rights about why that protection is famous. junior me after which is commissioner for human rights with the council of europe, and she joins me now some stuff, but what is it gone so spectacularly wrong? the dounia may out of edge welcome to conflict zone. thank you. 2 months ago you press the emergency button on human rights in europe. you said 2020 had been a disastrous year for those rights on the continent. one of the bleakest assessments to be hard for a long time. do you think anybody is listening to your warning? well, i hope so. it is something that is affecting, that's all, n

one, still it's the 3rd data in europe. in fact, the drive is the only biomass facility to rank in the continents plan of c o, 2 emitted, today you have it while selling itself as comp and neutral. running would actually bounces out more emissions and from burning coal, you to its lower energy density than fossil fuels would, has to be burned in higher volumes to produce the same amount of energy. but in no attempt to clear the air, drax responded to the claim, saying, the figure is a false. figures are inaccurate and completely at all. it's with what the world's leading climate scientists at the you into governmental panel on climate change, say the both sustainable biomass been crucial to deliver in global climate targets . despite the thick of the site still managed to attract more than 800000000 pounds in u. k. government subsidies, that's a 2000000 pounds every single day in 2020 alone. because of course why our energy production reflects well on the government's climate record. but all of this is left the locals. the

it's not just a problem for europe. the rest of the world could go without as rich countries corner the market in a similar way to the vaccines. this year alone, new york natural gas futures are up 106 percent to a high of $5.20 for $1000000.00 british thermal units. it's highest in more than 7 years. but the equivalent gas in europe and asian markets costs $25.00 for $1000000.00 british thermal units. storage sites, a less than 72 percent full. that's the lowest in a decade. or knock on effects. a huge cf industries holdings. one of the was biggest fertilizer groups has been forced to close to plants in the u. k, sparking fears of a looming shortage of ammonium nitrate that could hit food supplies and a shortage of carbon dioxide production could hit the meat to soft drinks. industry will gas is also used a power electricity generation. unsurprisingly, prices of soaring in that market to several energy suppliers have already collapsed in the u. k. governments across europe preparing to hand up money to households the c

, 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 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 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. 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 day. i g

and it's making inroads in europe. and this will lead to be problems with them is the, the, what you want to work. let's say that in france, just put it in perspective in france. we have a lot that has been voted in 19 o 5, which is that freedom of calls which gives you which separates the state from the religion. so every woman has the right to work their stuff. this is really a big problem, is that the islamists you said to press women in the areas of france where the police doesn't they go any more and women, we're in just to have peace. i'm partly, i a part. yeah. you what you say. but when you talk to muslim a woman here in france on, in other countries, you have some women that say that i want to learn that it's my freedom and i feel okay, we're in that as the women in iran. and if you prefer sunni country, as the women in saudi arabia going to what they think of the heat shops when the police follows them to see if they are made up and if they wear it shot. well, all in black, that is cipher city, not at all. th

just let us in europe are low. we're venue in these period of the year high of the new winter season and did a lot of concern for the traders because people now expect a potential gas crunch in the winter should be. but, you know, you're also arguing that the way in which the european gas market is structured is, is also a fault weinstat. well, over the last years, the european gas market at become more modern, let's say it moved from a traditional structure of oil indexation in gas contract to a spot market, 80 percent of the european got. so they traded on up is a spot market disease. of course, giving great flexibility to the market is a good thing. but in this particular condition, if for the pressure on the situation, because europe is not the longer the work, asia demanding a lot of n and g, and the economic recovery is also happening in asia. and therefore, europe as to pay more and more for the gas it was to get. and the 2nd suppliers, like russia, for example, talk about their willingness of favoring a mar

i mean, europe and i repeat, europe is the largest owner, an investor in africa and around the world. so we're just trying to use and you to a new instrument to gather all the resources that are already being invested by europe, european companies, and european governments. and trying to bring in under one umbrella with a common objective. and the subjective used to be when, when we don't want these to be only something that serves european industries, interests, or own european companies. we want also to cooperate with the local governments and local business of post 6. it was quite interesting when you sat there and said louise santos were aimed at bringing together an existing trade in existing projects. how much of this is going to be new money the, the headline figure of course, is $300000000000.00 euros of investments over the next 6 years or so. but how much of this is actually new? but we have new facilities now and most of what will be new will be money brought by actually the private sector and some of the financial institutions that will be in that will be also associated t

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

incent europe not to intervene and do any kind of where ups that could happen in eastern europe. cornelia, you have winter and you have energy crisis. how are we to blame? is it the post pandemic recovery? is it russia or is it weather related events, particularly last winter? it is the perfect storm you had last winter. you had such a cold winter that star was on plenty shed and i have some sympathy for gas brom again for 1st filling their own storage because they had a cold winter to. so dare storage shoe. it was, was deplete that to, for 1st you know, you 1st look after your own people and then then you go further. so, so that's one thing. then we have obviously the competition as was mentioned between them, asia and europe. for l n g, we're big because china is importing more and more l n g. this year china will become the largest import, the globally of l. n. she, it will, it will supercede japan in that position. and so, so we have, and obviously we have some geopolitical tensions. but, but, but mainly it's the perfect storm of supply and demand. and when it comes to price, yes, obv

so in the case of europe, everybody ready to blame russia? i think there's a lot of scrambling and it starts now all around the world to try to figure out how to get the fuel to people who need it for the, for the, for the coming winter. but it's a little bit late in the day to be thinking about this right now. i think we're headed for a very the school 6 months. it's also claimed that the e u has been aggressive with the shutdown of coal and also its own domestic gas fields, coupled with a heavy carbon taxation. while at the same time, it happens doesn't quite enough to make up for that by committing fully to call and feature this tremendous attack on fossil fuel chills going on all over the western world. you know, in the name of a baiting climate change and so on. but it's been very reckless and, and it's, and it's really has injured the capacity of the market to respond to, to the pi signals and to demand properly. so you have all these factors working in . so you've got the supply restrictions, artificial in many directions, regulatory r

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

so europe is tied to russia, russia, 5 europe, basically before moscow. that's also not that bad because there's this. so the idea that russia should build bridges with europe try and push the americans out. do something that trump was wanted to do and establish time with germany primarily, but without the other european countries. that's kind of very close partnership. that's not very working out, but the commercial part of it. and then of course, the problem of ukraine, which right now finds itself in a position where moscow at the will, if it wishes to, can continue to supplied gas to europe with contract obligations, but not sending much or at all to ukraine. that's for sure. let's, let's talk a little bit more about ukraine's options here, michael. but if you crank continues to feel that europe in the united states are not looking out for them on this issue, does that risk join them closer to china's or bit as has been suggested by some? yeah, absolutely. i think the feeling in ukraine is i'd recently return from there is that it's been thrown under

to understand how much gas europe needs in the future. and then, and in that case, we can then decide how much gas goes through the turkish stream. that's what the pipeline through the black sea is called, how much gas we can send through our north stream pipelines and to ukraine as well . but mr. poo general answer to that was yes, russia is ready to maintain its ukrainian transit. besides this, mr. poo went on to talk about something that doesn't really have to do with energy, but this is something that the moderator has, the russian leader that was about rush relations with washington and about arms security. mister bruton said that russia is ready to talk with washington ready for talks with washington on the revival of possibly some of the old treaties that washington abandoned under donald trump, under the previous cedars as well. or it's ready to hammer out new agreements, which is very important for international security is stability. but mister, put this message has been the same all the time. we have only been responding to tha

and terrorists, a terrorist threat both in europe. i know north america since we'll have enough dummy. so if you did look, i mean i'm talking about dealing with serious organized crime tomorrow, 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 only allowing like counterterrorism in one, you know, the agency, those things you wouldn't giving to have any police force. it was like when we were in the european union, michigan information system, which was a database that wasn't available to serve the police force in the u. k. there was only to certain options and the pounds i just happens and all of them in the united states were we abuse, we just abuse. so if it was, if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up for a 100 percent of the oversight was proper on it. and i think it would be a great tool. i think it, but we just, we always take something that's, that's meant to be some weight and, and we just, we water it down

the council of europe has issued its latest verdicts on human rights and democracy in europe. and it makes unpleasant reading. europe's democratic environment and institutions it says are in mutually reinforcing, decline. we talked a lot about democracy and human rights on this program, and spend a good deal of time holding politicians to account for actions for the peace when danger those rights. but the situation is now so critical was decided to question a leading official is trying to protect human rights about why that protection is famous. junior me after which is commissioner for human rights to the council of europe. and she joins me now, some stuff, but what is it gone wrong? the don't you may as of welcome to comfort zone. thank you. 2 months ago you press the emergency button on human rights in europe. you said 2020 had been a disastrous year for those rights on the continent. one of the bleakest assessments to be heard for a long time. do you think anybody is listening to your warning? well, i hope so. it is something that is affecting us all. no matter which part

and it's not a question of going to china. china is coming to europe. they have invested in over 10 percent of european ports. we've seen russia, china maritime exercises in the mediterranean, in the baltic. we've seen like fire exercises with them off the coast of clinical, near clinic grad. so i think that, you know, europe doesn't have this kind of the goober laying back and thinking china is far away. it's happening right here in their own neighborhood. well, you spoke there a little bit about the context of the u. s. while pulling out and pulling back in certain parts of the world, particularly obviously, and i've got to start over the last few weeks. david, this was, is a us lead mission node that started with counted terrorism became nation building. really, the europeans were always there because of natural law, school 5 out of solidarity with the u. s. so because this was always a washington initiative. why is it that you feel quite so betrayed at the moment? well, it's a good question. i think it's because of the way in which the withdrawal wa

busy with europe in union, to abolish sanctions altogether. and kind of the you keeps talking about hybrid warfare that bella bruce is waging some type of hybrid attacks and hybrid warfare. what exactly can you break that down for us? what exactly hybrid warfare mean when, when it's applied to bell roofs right now hydro and this gauge is kind of a sugar water for it's not the real are, i mean i mean, but alicia is not saying that they are doing these things. they are doing st just as a threat. i mean to the european union, and they said, this is margaret calling to better russia to go to the you. but they are not saying that the printer's, that's the form of hybrid barbara risk. but i think i said these are the things that you can count on and all of that, we know that we have some other problems with them to you. but they tried to cross the border into holland, all of which is not one of the most key members of europe in europe in you can use as also as an element towards forums who say, look, you see what your opinion is good or we can act t

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 the major cause for concern for some very important european politicians, is the transit of russia 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 wants these long term contracts again. what russia ones is stability and predictability. he'll become on our international catholic bishops in france, are at odds with the government. after a damning report reveals hundreds of thousands of crimes against children covered up by the clergy. we're from one of the victims after a short break. this is the weekly, on our, to international. mm. ah . hello, driven by drainage shaped bank. concur. some

as i said, huge demand for russian gas in europe at the moment. it had been hoped that the, the nord stream to gas pipeline would be able to, to slake some of that 1st for gas. the plan was that that would be able to provide as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of gas every single year, directly into germany, and then on towards the rest of europe. however, it found itself snarled up in a bureaucratic process when it comes to certification. here in germany right now, we're hearing it may well not be approved until the 2nd half of 2022. this is after we had thought it would be up and running by well, now that was after the united states lifted sanctions against the north stream to complete earlier in 2021 that had previously called the let cause delays on that project. or you're a correspondent, peter oliver, there at a subject that sir, no doubt is going to be raised when our correspondence gets challenged. the russian foreign minister in person live here on arty international, all are correspondence from all are multi language news. channels are g

we are increasing that will not decreasing our gas supply to europe. the number one ingredient in mr. perkins 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 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 wants these a long term contract. again. what russia ones is stability and predictability of this mind. some apparent misunderstandings between us automate potent than in the american news anchor. moderating the panel. the russian leader gave the c and b . c. finance channel, an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the forum. he shut his thoughts on the controversial orcus security pipe between australia, britain, and the us, as well as hi

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

and europe, we only talk about refugees. there is no strategy for only economic migrants who come to italy. the problem of migrants is, according to the search and rescue plan, regulations, concerns old states and not just italy. europe must enforce this regulation and make other states help migrants as well. italy certainly cannot declare war on malta. if the u. n. has austell states to speak up and sold the problem through international agreements. and if, until now the problem has never been addressed by any one. it means there is no political will to try to solve the problem of migrants. we've repeatedly said that the problem is not being addressed by anyone. and if it is not addressed, that will be more deaths, more landings, and no end to ngo's helping migrants that see, this is the pattern. there is no solution because no one wants to find it. nothing will ever change as long as things remain like this. image immigration officers or troubles or the roles are front and center in french politics as well. in the latest c

with the irish to other people from europe all came together from eastern europe. well, from the current elsewhere, even the gland, latin americans africans election level. precisely when we get new, gotta get that new. many of them shall, proud now should be citizens of the united states. and that's amazing that so the melting pot they had, but russia has also been for me and i like lay melting paul to the universal school since the united russian states have you been, was formed when west moon digital euchre. even the 1st steps were made in the aides and the 9th century after the christening, and that all for the russia when that was good. when those, the state was centralized and said governance was formed based on, ah, a common language on the power of the sar on common culture and honest ritual values. if with a tooth that had expanded and included others. and that was also a melting cold. and in the soviet union, they didn't really know create white mountain. many things that were different from that and such like the one plane this new like community, this s

is, is a dictating what europe security policy should be. certainly they're trying to do it with energy here. i can see how it makes europe stronger. more dependency makes it more irrelevant. can you address that real quick? yeah, no, i agree, but deals of the see that us change is june a bit like now that you're talking about strategic calling me away from us. it's talking about european sovereign, the, i don't think it can be achieved, but only this week you have a saying, you know, the europeans need their own army, which that means it implies less relies and they don't less influenced by the u. s . i think and there are a lot, there are people who are noticing that this is a very bad take. but in order to have peace in europe, when do need to keep the americans are so close friends. but the most dominant relationship. well, i mean, maxine, could it be any other way? i mean it's very messianic. the with the, the american approach here. i mean, it's either had gemini or nothing i, i, i don't, don't see partnerships or they use that languag

a mainly from europe. we've got big building up on farm and we've been trying to keep that fly running on top of that. actually we got the costs of exporting. so mate, because of the actual house of gets all that handles, we have to go straight to export, meet the british meter industry knows a staffing shortfall of 15 percent that's led to backlogs. at arbor tours and processing plants, i sourcing that work to the an extra cost of around $1500.00 pounds per truck of carcasses. and that is even before full import control to put in place schedule for next year. the british government's trying to ease the crisis, offering 800 temporary phases for overseas butchers to come in. it's also providing funds for coal storage and has launched a calling and disposal scheme to ease the backlog. nick ellen again thinks those measures won't solve the problem. i think they're being very intransigent to what they're doing so that not just the meat industry, but to the, into, off the train. you know, we've worked hard duri

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

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

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

this is dictating what europe security policy should be. certainly they're trying to do with energy here. i can see how it makes europe stronger. more dependency makes it more irrelevant. can you address that real quick? yeah, no, i agree, but change in june a bit. now that you're talking about strategic me away from the us, talking about european foreign. i don't think it can be achieved, but the only way you have a problem saying, you know, they have their own army, which then means it implies less relies nato less influenced by the u. s. i think there are a lot of people who are noticing that it is a very to take but in order to have peace in europe, we do need a keep. the americans have close friends, but the not the dominant relationship. well, i mean, maxine, could it be any other way? i mean it's very messianic that with the, the american approach here, i mean it's either had gemini or nothing. i, i, i don't don't see partnerships or they use that language all the time. but it's not a partnership of equals. it is, it's a hedge, a mon

and in europe we have this romantic idea of this. business people. they will never cultivate something that is dangerous and they would never cultivate something they don't need. just business people and we should get into the business. and we can't expect them to act in any other way except as businesses. the only way that would change is if there is a root and branch revolution in the way that we do business and that would need to involve all corporations all over the world because as long as we treat food like a global commodity. we have a very big problem. and part of that problem is that food will go to the highest bidder and the highest bidder may not be someone that wants to feed the highest bidder maybe someone wants to feed your car this is entirely the wrong way to look at food food should be food . i would be. all about making money. and profits it's about big corporations. it's an. informative. big uniform lens with one action. it's about corporate control. and it's. mostly also economically it's about. international markets import export

and the structure will show important one. 2 member of the council of europe. and i've been just wondering what is based on commission because the russian state also called the court ruling blatant and gross interference in the judicial affairs of a foreign state. now that one statement undermines the basis on which countries belong to the counselor, doesn't it? the fact is, if the council does nothing about this, then countless numbers of people in russia and elsewhere will conclude that you're simply not capable of enforcing the requirements of council membership. and standing up to tough and abusive governments is not right. not really. it is not that simple. it is up to the government to implement the judgment. it is up to the committee of ministers of the council of europe to push for the institution of the judgment. we have to keep dialogue with dorothy is also in difficult situation and it is not because of difficulties that we give up. on the contrary, i think this is also a moment for the council of europe to do more than ever before and did all the in

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 calls europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we're growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special paxton with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation and there is no way in which europe can form a hear all that. and i, and 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, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics spoke. business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh, driven by dreamer shapes banks concur some of those with theirs sinks, we dare to ask a one. no, sir, no, not a joke. no, no. well dog, more real to what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organi

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

it's to do with the, with a here in europe at the moment. it's to do with low storage is at the moment when it comes to gas, just to give you a sense that the price is been rising rapidly since april. and that's because it's been below the pre panoramic level of the amount of storage of gas that's been available as a type of reserve. so generally, pre pandemic, we would have seen about 84 percent full storage of gas reserves that's now down to around 71 percent. meaning that, you know, many people are fearing that they may not be enough gas to get through the wind t. as a result of that, we're seeing that wholesale price increase, and then of course that will be passed on to consumers. you would think now the e u has been struggling to import gas from a market such as asia. and so as a result of that, there is this huge deficit. this all comes, of course, as you powers are debating whether or not to increase supplies from russia, we know that the new steam, true pipeline was finalized last week, but the gas supplies cannot be pumped through

than europe gets new opportunity is ended. you worlds, or europe, is love any longer, completely dependent to united states. so d, america, europe, america, playing d, a politics to preserve their global leadership rule as the only superpower and they don't care about consumer prices of energy security in europe. they care on their arm and since the whole others 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 of russian behavior because of economic interest. molly has accused french forces of training extremist group submit a deepening feud between the 2 countries. this comes after 16. molly and soldiers were ambushed and killed by terrorists and the african nations north. on tuesday, the prime minister has pointed the finger at paris, accusing france of deceit. as jesse malin government still doesn't control the region of cattle, though, on grapes, trained by french offices. we have evidence of that in our

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 your opinion. leaders in the commissioner for energy. that's country simpson, she said, just beginning of this month, that while there was no additional gas coming from russian supply is to meet the increased demand from europe. that those same russian supply is we're meeting the very letter 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 give kind to my knowledge. there are known as the

you are going to fight the rule of law with europe. i mean, you want to rebuild europe on the basis of new values. maybe that would be no, no, i don't have such ambitions. i don't want to fight the rule of law. i want to fight the fact that judges have taken hostage the rule of law in order to impose their own ideological view associate. and you're not afraid of the reaction of civil society because in 2017, it was by this civil society that the composition of the parliament was updated by 75 percent less was it? yes, but emanuel micron, civil society is not my civil society. i'll explain why this is a question from the field of sociology. emmanuel micron. sociology is the one of big cities metropolises. boys was bohemian society, people who consider globalization a blessing, who are delighted with immigration, his sociology in general, of course, because there are always nuances details. but a manual mccarron sociology is like this. but this is not mine. look at the opinion polls. it's always very interesting to analyze my sociology e

for germany and for europe. well, it's interesting that every member of the upcoming new government announces that we need to radical changes when it comes to climate change. and they are all pushing for renewables that more needs to be done more than what the previous government has done. and given that we've seen the rising gas prices that could potentially be leveraged on the stand, that it's now high time. and we shouldn't discuss the nitty gritty is of how it is turned is when mail next to a building or all the reasons why it didn't meet the targets that have been defined before. so there are certainly a push coming from the current what was described as a perfect storm that we'll see more efforts and more investment in renewables and decreases the cio strategic dependency from russia. pulses. this is a crisis moment. everybody's looking for leverage. oh, it comes to ukrainian the seem to be pretty much excited about the potential. what might happens next, particularly because they are now going to be part

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,

, badden, europe gets new, opportunity is ended, you world europe is not any longer, completely dependent to the united states. so d, america, america are playing d a politics to preserve their global leadership as the only superpower and they don't care about consumer prices of energy security in europe, daycare on their part. and since the whole others, pro american politicians here over close on equal art interest, thousands of taken to the streets of italian capital in a protest against coven restrictions. people have been angry at plans. introduce for mandatory health passes to access work places. the rules will come into full toronto, the 15th. the government says that the moves necessary, the virus under control, the head of an expected rise in cases in the winter when people will be spending more time inside those failing to present a pass or negative test result face being suspended. notice is flame. it's an infringement on their rights. molly is accused french forces of training extremist groups submit a deepening feud between the countries. 16 molly and soldiers were ambushed a

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
