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

, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the above all really feels jewish life in europe. ah, that's what film producer, corona and journalist keep in mind more exploring, delving into history and the present. ah, some things are painful, many or surprising. everything important because life is so much more than what you think, you know, i would never think i need to remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way. broad explorer, logistics, jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d. w. ah, ah, this is, these are the knees and these are our top stories. low enforcement agencies around the world have made hundreds of arrests as part of a sting targeting organized crime networks. investigate to say they gathered evidence by tricking suspects into using a messaging app that was actually controlled by the f b. i police read the.

and i hope that europe media will, will inform the people about it. what we have today in the opinion, that's all about gas. it is about blaming russia and preparing for another could warn you. have heard the gym and 57 who is talking about even having atomic option against russia. this is i pressure, this is a statement that we haven't heard even in the end of the cold war. we are back in the 984 in the late seventy's rep, people openly using crap and things that, that help them to gain confidence, emotion. not often, some one disappears entirely from a list. so infamous as the f. b i's most wanted. that's exactly what happened to one man said to be one of the key figures in january's capitol hill rides in washington. he was caught on camera telling people to storm the building. it's got some including members of the republican party raising questions about who exactly the mysterious figure is. a correspondent caleb welcome picks up the story. an individual featured and videos calling for people to enter the capital building even before the january 6

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

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

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

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

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

let him put in a pledge to boost supplies to europe. and the european parliament passes a non binding resolution seeking to ban police use of facial recognition software and public places that me piece hailing it as a major victory. i guess debate the issue. this is good news. you're bringing criminals and services will be abused like crazy. there's a great saying and law enforcement that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nailed pump. ah, good evening. thanks for joining me. this is our t international. we begin this hour in afghanistan, where dozens of people have reportedly been killed in an explosion of the sheer mosque in the countries know the city of couldn't us. you may find the upcoming images of the aftermath. distressing blast occurred during friday prayers. the pat congregation insides, there are conflicting reports on how many casualties there have been. but officials say there are least 50 people killed, and more than another, $100.00 injured the suicide bomber was said to be behind the attack. the taliban blind

is this the role of the council of europe? well, that phrase freedom is in his job, was thought of doing an online workshop. the council of europe says it reflects what was said by some participants. a full version goes. beauty is in diversity as freedom is in job and said to face discussion across europe with opponents saying that the government is an emblem of oppression. issue is particularly a hot topic came from since it was the 1st european country to introduce a band on full face islamic vowels in public. and although wearing the job aids, legal is not allowed in certain public places, including schools and government offices in 2018, the united nations human rights committee said the french rule violates freedom of religion. when we discussed the story with colonel shambly, an attorney in paris, an independent journalists, lucretia a they can make it very bad. the concept of the campaign is wrong because the freedom is to take it away. they jock, in awful, a woman mostly women are allowed in, in the opening public plac

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

america on archie ah, let him have hooton's pledge to boost the gas flow to europe finally take some of the heat out of the market. it becomes a record breaking price surgeon this week. just seen some your members question, brussels energy policies. and also ahead for try to feed parents as domestics. harry just reflects just how home school boys in school in the 3 become or can parents face and f b. i crack down the speaking out against pupils being forced to wear masks and the teaching of the controversial critical race theory concept. so it's exactly 20 years since the u. s. coalition invaded afghanistan, while the country now is in meltdown. families having to resort to run thinkable measures when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark. sorry. i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there's no option lap. ah. why they're very good evening. thanks for joining me or not. who start with a developing story coming out of belgium, where an armed man has been arrested by police following a search lasting several hours in a small city close to the french border

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

in europe, things are a bit more complicated. many researchers and racism act to this and diversity experts say that european companies still haven't engaged with a reality of racism. the lack of data in many european countries to show the effect and impact of racial discrimination helps corporate avoid. this issue in europe based opportunity is capturing all the information that's out there around different ethnic groups, racial groups, and with that valuable data. information companies can do wonders in the sense of recognizing where, where they're challenged the usual book to solve this, we have to create very transparent hiring situations. there needs to be that mutual respect well, i'm not willing today. i'm definitely losing, but at least i know what the rules are, but that's not what it's like with racism or any form of discrimination. it's like playing a game where the rules are always changing, and you end up being excluded without knowing what the will rules are. now every so often a stalker mind comes along with how fa

what do you think has changed in europe on that issue? over the last 5 years, you know, i think there's a big hypocrisy. we listened to some, some comments which you have also quoted as if, as if western european countries have changed their position regarding migration. but when it comes to supporting pro migration and deals when it comes to the, the rest symbol came out when it comes to making incredibly responsible statements regarding the situation in afghanistan. when it comes to. when it comes to the mediterranean, there might be some comments which which sound to be different compared to what has been says since 2015 by the essence. but the essence of the european migration policy remained unchanged unfortunately. and if you look at the document or the statement or the founding document of the, of the new german government coalition, you will see that this extremely pro migration extremely well. speaking about germany because german chancellor gl americal was the main driving force behind the 2015 policy, as well as the main archit

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

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
