and i believe they would have pushed more gas in europe. and so therefore we wouldn't be in such a dire situation today. terry, appreciate you coming on, get your expert analysis, my guest here, ross energy expert, thank you. thank you. with a natural gas price in europe. i mentioned it a moment ago. i sought in fact, as an all time record, it's now nearly 6 times incredible. what it was just in the spring with a consonant uncles for major energy crunch and it is light that internal divisions within the block of brussels green policies. it oliver has ml, while prices are as high as they are on the commodities markets. this isn't so much going to trickle down to consumers as perhaps these prices are gonna fall upon homeowners from a more domestic home uses, form a great height to what we've heard from the european commission president ursula found a lion is that she recognizes that there are major problems that we're facing right now and problems that are coming down the pipe further along, but says that in the long term, it's renewable ener

there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is the growing e u barrier stand off over illegal migration. there are western reports. russia is amassing troops within its own borders. and of course, there is the self inflicted crisis of european energy supplies. it is no coincidence, some recalling this hybrid war, but who is hybrid war against whom? we start to have a little bit of it. don't tell the enemy didn't i state the pentagon might not be prepared to defend the country. await the secretary of defense. jessica, we're going to tell you why the highest breast at the pentagon says the us has a reading issue and how they believe it should be fixed. and.

plus europe ranges against restrictions, cobra cases in us, increased and fixed cold. in july, 12 politicians have been sending mixed messages about how to deal with the pandemic, leaving many confuse very much for the political situation. and i just wish you would come around and get the politics because it's not too little. and the former british ambassador turned blogger has surrendered to police to serve a prison sentence for contempt of court. it is a case that has sent shock waves to the journalist community. ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios and moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm sean thomas, certainly glad to have you with us. now, millions of americans risk immune homelessness after the cobra linked ban on residential evictions expired on july 31st. the ban or eviction moratorium came into effect in september. it aimed to stop the spread of the virus and keep people at home, including those unable to pay rent after losing their jobs. in the pandemic, the exact number of people who may soon be forced from their homes is not known. but a survey

we've tried to get to europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset when i saw happen to the border. i can't stay here very hard. his envelope man of the vasa, i am very tired. i don't want to try again. my family in iraq, her saying please come back. when i saw poland use tear gas against women and children. i thought other european countries would be no different. there have been many questions asked of poland response to these might when attempting to cross the border. women, children among them, the violent often response that there are very few people who have made it across the boarded among those even fewer scanner. individuals have made it all the way to germany. they're being caught across poland, driven back to the border with barrows, and forced back across the border. so again, many of become disenchanted with what they imagined europe would be like. and what they have found reality to be like again, we expect many more repatriation floods from iraq from her, from other countries perhaps. but the, the situation is that there has

and other key theme is climate change about which some say they're not doing anywhere near enough or europe corresponding peter oliver is in the italian capital . as world leaders gather here in rome for this years g 20 summit, they've also been met by large number of protesters. you've come to particularly vent their anger at what they see as a lack of action when it comes to climate change. the protesters themself actually coming from quite a diverse number of groups, including unions far left organizations and those who say they've lost their jobs through globalism. also a large number of tribe and activists that you would recognize as such. 2 people in particular of drawn their iron, that's the u. s. president joe biden, and the british prime minister, forrest johnson, president biden. because well, he's had a lot to say about the need for action to be taken, but the hasn't been that much in the way of climate action coming from the white house as of yet forest johnson. because starting on sunday glass go in, the united kingdom will be hosting cop $26.00. the big climate summit with a l

focus of the russian president's speech fell on gas and energy, and particularly gas prices across europe. if you picked up any newspaper, looked at any t, v or listen to any radio across the continents over the last few weeks, you think they swell. vladimir putin had a small top that he could turn in short cut off the gas to countries in europe. it will cost us not the case, and we also had the russian president said that there was no truth whatsoever. today, stories that he had been doing, just not all russia had been holding back supplies in order to rump the price of the ocean president, pointing out, in fact, that russia has opened supplies, increased supplies to europe. in recent times, what we heard though, from the russian president, is saying that when it comes to sorting out the problems that we have in europe when it comes to gas prices, that both the consumers on the supply is need to act responsibly. which is global sustainability of global energy markets directly depends on responsible actions of all of their participants. both producers and consumers are based on long term

it's also in northern europe. now in europe, the northern hemisphere ventilate rooms as often as possible. all of these are traditional, simple measures that we all can get when on top of it. the vaccines do give projects, they give protection, certainly again, without the variance. and they also give protection against the, the army. so if you are offered the vaccine, please take it and if you offer the booster, it's also time to get it still in my thank you very much for talking with us. that was christian lind, bios spokesperson for the world health organization in geneva. thank you. is a lucas mother developments in the panoramic world wide south african researchers have found a booster shot of johnson and johnson's covey. 19 vaccine is 84 percent effective at preventing hospitalization. covered 19 cases have reached a record high in the united states. however, the country's centers for disease control and prevention, se deaths and hospitalizations are comparatively low, and the ice hockey junior world champio

apparently he found himself on a business trip in europe. and essentially, i then only later, he made a decision to cross the border into belarus and, you know, try and seek political asylum. them. he got on the b i's most wanted list over his involvement in the january. the 6th protest in washington, d. c. which ended up you with the, you know, trump support is storming the capital. according to mister newman, he himself, ah, he believes he did nothing wrong. he did nothing illegal. i should say in a conversation with me, he refused to confirm or deny though. the fact that he might have crossed you know the threshold and found himself inside. ah, the capital, but also at the same time as he believes that he did nothing illegal. i, he vehemently refuted the claims that he, for example, attacked a police officer. he told me that he regretted doing many things on that day. it was quite interesting to hear his account of events during that day, as he also shed some light on the, you know, a well, somewhat popular theory that they were well. age

this applies of gas to europe have been increased by us and by 15 percent. but the thing is the problem does not consist in us. it consists of in the right hand side, i guess with well 1st we know that the wind farms did not work during summer because of the weather. everyone else, 3rd more over the europeans did not pump enough gas into their underground gas facility is just a 75 percent. that is very little. everyone understands that everyone knows that and the supplies to europe have been decreased from other regions of the world. we have increased the supplies, but others, including the us, have reduced their supplies, and this is the cause of the panic. part of the gas is deposited in the ukrainian when you underground storage facilities. i them may be a mistake, and i do not have the exact figures, bird around 18000000000 nor cubic feet in the meters of gas has been pumped into the ukrainian or underground storage facilities. but most of that gas does not belong to the ukrainian operators. most of those gas belongs to european operators and private com

if you've been following the media across europe for the last couple of weeks, gas prices have pretty much beaned everywhere. wherever you look. in fact, a lot of fingers is being pointing directly at russia with some flaming the kremlin directly for limiting supplies of gas to europe and driving up the gas price. this is something that's vehemently denied by russia run by there. the russian president vladimir putin who said that the only way that the current situation can be sorted out is if suppliers and consumers act responsibly. which is global sustainability of global energy markets directly depends on responsible actions of all of their participants. both producers and consumers are based on long term interests of all sides. rushes calling for a thorough discussion of this topic in a pragmatic manner guided solely by economic considerations. the harshest critics of russia's gas policy has been really the, the european media. if you listen to some news outlet. so i watched or read some things that are in french. do you think that vladimir putin out a little tap on his desk that h

we hope that this is gain to ensure europe and security of europe. and we also hope that this is going to be beneficial to russia to like us, we pet, you're saying you guys from lee russian market. so do you think that is a risk that the project will be stopped year to the american sanction so that it is going to be impossible to operate due to american sanctions? mister president, i have to say that i said that on many occasions, and i would like to read that this is a purely commercial who can make projects. and those who believe that this is trying to bypass have a transit play as well. so much root there wrong, i guess the rules via the c bad of both receive from russia. we get a minute to germany. college the killing me. as far as the length care which you as concerned as shorter lease, which is simply shorter than if you had to go to europe. ian countries lag slovakia, ukraine, austria, it's cheaper and it's short to transport gas via for leakage. secondly, there are no political country specific ways, and you don't have to pay for the transit

so again, many of become disenchanted with what they imagined europe would be like. and what they have found reality to be like again, we expect many more repatriation floods from iraq from ah, from other countries perhaps. but the, the situation is that there has been a di escalation on the political level. there was also been contact between belarus and. 3 the european union president lucas, chicago, or his administration just couldn't just coming out saying there, i know about 7000 migrants currently and bellows, about 2000 of them here at mia boda with the new the checkpoint. the border with, with poland, and many of them are going to be driven back to minsk la capitol. and they're going to seek those flights, carrying them out of the country. and a quick warning now that you may find this following video, a bit disturbing with routes from belarus into poland, largely sealed off migrants are trying their look further north at the lithuanian frontier. the bell russian border service has released this on verified video, allegedly showing lithuanian police with dogs

ah, now it is worth mentioning here that russia is europe's biggest gas supply up and president putin has said the current shortage is partially down to the ear uses mistakes. he accused brussels of short sightedness for insisting on a switch from long tom gas contracts to that of spot trading. what does that all mean or little hobby discussed all of it, with ortiz eco to stand off. well, i guess the whole point of this cabinet meeting, at least to a large extent, was to outline russia's stance in this crisis, letterman couldn't talk to russia's energy minister and basically gave very clear instruction as to the country's actions and how russia will navigate this well this market crisis, because as of now you've seen the gas prices on the market and well as of now again, it looks like the winter is going to be very, very costly to the end of the line. european consume him. so the russian president, what he did, he called on the minister to seed through that russia remains a loyal partner and doesn't make things any more difficult and pod than they already are. and that the gas prom ru

there's some of europe, the biggest consumers of meat. now, a spanish government minister is calling on people to eat less of it for the good of their own health, and of course, also for the planet. but his message has drawn rebuke from some of spain's most ardent meat eaters, including the prime minister, the spain, a paradise for meet lovers. the country's cuisine is famous for its hams and sausages. but the consumer affairs, the minister has sparked controversy by suggesting the spaniards should change their eating habits. gibbons, how do you answer? because what would you think of i told you that excessive meat consumption harms both our health and also our planet. we can change our diet and improve the state of the planet. the minister noted the beef production in particular requires huge amounts of water and produces greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. some surveys have showed spaniards as europe's top carnivores consuming an average . 98 kilograms of meter year. well above the average of 76. the suggestion to meet and

on saturday parties, peter oliver reports on his way to europe. so the series of meetings that he has u. s. president joe biden was asked, will you be apologizing to french president emanuel mack on he did say, well, we've already talked about that, suggesting that perhaps have been done in the over the phone conversations. this was the 1st face to face meeting. and what we heard from joe biden was that the united states, in his opinion, had acted without grace when it came to squeezing fronts out of a submarine deal with australia. we did was clumsy with a lot of grace. i was under the impression that france happened to form long before with my arms to go me things conducted in a real badness, fear of reconciliation between paris in washington biden and micron. ab, what we did see was a little moment between the 2. when they, they were shaking hands and lots of thank you. don't thank use from the 2 presidents with you. i will be thank you. well, all of the awkwardness came about because of orchestra. that's the, the defense package that was set u

and there is absolutely no intention anywhere in western europe. ready to send a single, so dot short danish or german or french soldier to fight in ukraine. with going back. this is our t international. now a u. s. company is feeling the effects of pushing for diversity. a former employee has been awarded $10000000.00 compensation after he was fired and replaced by 2 women allegedly as part of the company's diversity and inclusion program. they tried to say a trial that they fired him because 2 years before he had gotten sick during his speech and had to sit down and was embarrassing to the ceo. and he and he never recovered from it instead. and standing in that he was not adequately engaged in his work. all the, all the documentation showed that he was more than engaged and that he was delegating it parents as before, the board to his subordinates. but he was deliberately doing that for their development as employees. and so they really had the jury found that if they had nothing to justify the termination and it was only the only thing that made

there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is a growing e u. barrow stand off over illegal migration. there are western reports. russia is amassing troops within its own borders. and of course there is the self inflicted crisis of european energy supplies. it is no coincidence somewhere calling this hybrid war. but who is hybrid war? against whom? there is a patch of water around the try a seal island that's in contention between canada and the united states, where the government has suddenly become optimal for lobster. our population here is exploded, one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had me and canadian fishermen in these waters at the same time jousting for position and attention or high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the point where there could be costs that would be significant to hold countries. border disputes don't go away. they just fester. something's going to happen with ah oh la.

i am indignant if someone in europe wants to change all this and wants to do it in my house. it's all absurd. the probably not to surprise, but one institution with a particular bone to pick was the catholic church. what was it being they gotten tradition on christmas and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issue this rebuke. it boy, there is the cancellation of our roots. the christian i mentioned for europe, especially with regard to christian festivals, with the fear of god to put into her daddy, withdrew the guidelines as they clearly need more work. yes, meaning christmas has been saved from the you, grinned chez. so now, but it just seems to be the season for bashing your tide because across the channel, the u. k. government was looking for a catchy tick tock. so going to encourage students to get faxed before the holidays job and go whoa, whoa, whoa, mary medina, christmas, that kind of thing. and though the celebration of jesus birth hasn't really bothered anyone since it started during the roman times. lon

not in a spot in europe, but on an exchange in st. petersburg, but in general, exchange trading is not very effective because it carries a lot of risks. is not a watch shorts and ties or a car or even oil that can be produced and stored anywhere. gas is not sold like that on the market. so what the european lawmakers came up with, they decided that they would switch from contractual from contractual trade when they receive a gas steadily throughout the year. at the current market price, they decided that they would be buying the gas of the market and they would, he would be doing so in the summer when the demand is very low. so it's essentially dirt cheap. but they would only ask for the, for gas in physical, you're physically receive it in the winter when the well, obviously need this gas, but what they didn't well add into this equation is the fact that the simple a pipeline infrastructure is simply not robust enough. it is too old and dated in ukraine. so gas from, even if it wanted, it's simply can't squeeze this much natural gas

places in europe are smashing all the record. get into a venture. just don't lose your grip and the treasure map for modern gold. trotter's gone for some of us are record breaking and also in book form. frankfurt, a bought international, a gateway to the best connection, self road and radio. located in the heart of europe, you are connected to the whole world. experience i'm standing shopping and dining offers. and drawing our services be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by from board. oh, the news . this is the w is life from us health officials approve of controversial new drug for alzheimer's disease. the 1st treatment to target the conditions underlying cause rather than symptoms. but experts say there's not enough evidence that really works. also the program judges in the netherlands here, evidence against, for man, accused of bringing down malaysia, analyzed by mh 77 years after the civilian passenger. plane was shot to the skies. families will hear testimony. rods, how their loved ones done. major indian cities done in moved by eas

or should president pointing out, in fact, that russia has opened supplies, increased supplies to europe? in recent times, what we heard though, from the russian president, is saying that when it comes to sorting out the problems that we have in europe when it comes to gas prices, that both the consumers on the supply is need to act responsibly. which is global sustainability of global energy markets directly depends on responsible actions of all of their participants. both producers and consumers are based on long term interests of all sides. rushes calling for thorough discussion of this topic and a pragmatic manner guided solely by economic considerations. it's interesting to point out that while some of the harshest criticism towards russia has come from the european press, european leaders have been singing at pretty much very different tune. in fact, the most recent european senior politician senior leader to come out and say that russia isn't behind increasing the energy prices in europe was the french president, a manual macro. and he said the current situation is down to market

so strong relation with europe and europe is needed. also think about hydrogen, future hydrogen in the role that happens will place is very important to take into account technology that we say 40 percent of nathan technology needed to reach the 25th. the net neutrality is not exist anymore is not exist now. has to be find out, has been edited under the huge invest mean there are in the recession. development is the last from of potential cooperation between europe and russia. extremely. busy interesting localisation process that we can do on the corporation between european company or russian one, how far behind is russia in its green, ambitious, and it's environmental strategy. and when it comes to the green ambitions, do you, are there any jeremy versus do very good job by the way, during the last years they approve of many different what i mean 20232025 will be for the 1st time they serve russia, there will be a law which foreseen on the voluntary basis, the level of emission that's very important there too recently a few weeks ago,

well, like much of the world, europe is seeing a shortage of truck drivers. it's causing quite the pinch in supply chains across the continent. in spain, the government is looking at ways to recruit more people into the profession, especially from traditionally under represented groups. this is far from begonia, are manette is 1st time getting behind the wheel. the mother and grandmother has been a truck driver for the last 26 years. i guess it's true that we hear the phrase, you don't look like a trucker. a lot. it happens to many of us. and why don't i look like a trucker? what must i look like? it's just that you're so tiny, so skinny. i don't need to be tall and fat. they're still a stereotype of the truck or woman's physique. i don't know why we all have to be very butch, very manly. we buddy much. what we'll do, a recent estimate shows europe is missing, 400000 drivers needed to deliver goods. spain, meanwhile, is missing tens of thousands of drivers alone. guy with a miracle, there are fewer and fewer truck drivers. and this is just the tip of the iceb

they get cold and they get them in europe. ready have been less, but then i mean, there's pipeline supply in no way algeria, russia, they can supply as well. but that's where you have no problem. russia has been slow to finish tional gas the you this year despite the critical shortage of stocks. some analysts believe the limited deliveries are no quinn sentence and accused moscow of exploiting europe's energy weakness. why? inter nordstrom to the 9500000000 euro natural gas pipeline. russia recently completed constructing germany. the russians have spent a fortune under put in developing an entire new natural gas province. what happens in europe then, as part of its climate policy cuts back on natural gas consumption? indeed, many politicians do see climate policy, namely, a faster move towards renewables. as the solution, but building out that infrastructure could take years. so what about right now for now, government seemed to have decided the answer is more fossil fuels. china has doubled down on coal while here in the u.

not in a spot in europe, but on an exchange in st. petersburg. but in general, exchange trading is not very effective because it carries a lot of risks. is not a watch shorts and ties or a car, or even oil that can be produced and stored anywhere. gas is not sold like that on the market problem being, it seems that they're just on in of contract. people haven't contracted into long term gas supplies. so obviously brush is not going to want to be made out to the bud guy here. what can you do with regards the pricing? well, man, you're absolutely right. and the thing is i, the european lawmakers might have shot themselves in the foot here. and well, of conceptually nukes the wallets of the end of the line consumers of ordinary europeans. so here's, here's the thing about natural gas. it's not oil. you can just, you know, get it one time stored in a barrel until you need it, and then you will access it. no, it doesn't work like that. you can't store natural gas. so what the european lawmakers came up with, they decided that they would switch from co

he's a europe correspondent, lot going on all across europe when it comes to the omicron variant on dealing with this latest wave of cove at 19, which really has the continent in its great time in sweden right now. where from wednesday we seen vaccine passes having to be shown if you go to any public gathering now, there are some issues with that because not everybody in sweden is able to get not required vaccine pass even if they have job. now if your residency is being processed or if you got your jobs outside of sweden, you're going to face problems there. and you're not going to be able to show that all important piece of paper, all q all codes elsewhere in portugal. what we're seeing is the government that a see what's called a state of calamity. it's the 2nd highest state of alertness in the country, and what it means is that they're going to be bringing in new measures again, going to be bringing back in measures. i beg your pardon, things like mass squaring in public. you're also going to need to be able to show either a negative test or a vaccine certificates if he has to go into b

not just in europe. and people are being taken by surprise, i think by a combination of 3 things. first of all, is the return of demand after the coffee, it 19 locked down. the 2nd part is around with extreme websites and whether winter's coming earlier or later, it's more extended. and the 3rd bit seems to be about skills and workforce planning . assure, teach the right skills to get energy from one place to another. so that in particular, does any of this have to do with the changes in the energy mix and with the desire by some of the countries to be very swift and changing, for example. and shifting to renewables, no one can predict what the shape of the energy system it's going to look like. but what we do know is it's going to be a much greater make a new chaos because people need energy, not just for heating and lighting. they need it to work and mobility, and we can't transition overnight from a fossil fuel and you keep base system to renewable energy. the oil and gas are needed for decades to com

many questioning who will now be seen as the de facto leader of europe. well, i'll teach, shall i, do mosquito seems to have some idea. i manual my own like the style himself, the man with the vision for europe p pushed hard for an you owe me a call for rita integration reform and for sending over the single currency though we have good back to back on when at least all the while germany under the still guy didn't, so merkel has mild and nodded. but whenever push came to shove, she made clear who was all but one shouldn't benefit from european solidarity. while playing against other member states, solidarity among partners should never lead to adapt unit and it should instead be about helping others to help themselves to have a history. so before macaroni even occupies the a health way as the french economy minister and during talk to help greece avoid crippling or 30 measures. merkle put her foot down. according to a manual, merkel ordered how to keep macro greek negotiations. brickle spell was every bit as powerful as i had imagined with the merkel era

we have to evolve to a strict and humane migration policy in europe. because if we don't, then we will leave this content as a very bad place for the coming generations of european lebanon is now a days away from a social explosion. the caretaker prime minister says the countries facing an acute social and economic crisis with federal shortages and power cuts comes after lebanon's. energy ministry increased fuel prices by more than a 3rd ot spool asleep explains the situation is diet. indeed, in lebanon, you have the local currency that has lost 90 percent of its value and hundreds of businesses that have been forced to close in recent months. at the same time, for example, the ventilator cost more than a $1000.00. but you have electricity for just an all day. so assuming that one is even able to afford a ventilator, it's practically useless. the world bank has said that it rates the financial crisis in lebanon, amongst the top 10 worst in the world, possibly amongst the top 3. it will been also says that you have to be more than half of the population

many countries in europe are seeing unprecedented peaks amid the rapids spread of the omicron variant in germany. case numbers are also rising, but for now still comparatively low isn't in schools and overall, we're a bit more disciplined than some of our european neighbors. asia masks are especially effective against omicron that sets germany apart. we cannot forget that england and denmark barely had social distancing measures in place recently, and masks were not born. that is certainly different here in germany. this is in balance, indoor chunks, one, unless the end of the year come, may be deceptive. few tests were administered during the holidays and numbers reported more slowly. health minister car lauterbach says the actual volume of cases could be 2 to 3 times higher, and a spike may be seen quite soon. cues at test centers are increasing. this location in berlin carries out over a 1000 tests a day. then we feel it's coming that the numbers are slowly increasing on distance thing. by mid january there should be a more realistic picture of the situation, but the number of conf
