prices. ironically, it might not hurt russia that much. so if russia gets to export, let's say a 3rd less of their oil. and if they have to take a discount on it. but if oil prices are much higher, they might actually net positive on the oil side and similar on other commodities. one thing that we lose track of is how much inflation there's been since the last time oil prices were anywhere close to this hi. and so if you look at it on an inflation adjusted basis, you'd be looking at oil close to $200.00 a barrel to be equivalent to the price that a got to in 2008. and frankly, the world economy is a lot stronger and a lot bigger since then. and it's a lot less oil dependency. you could actually see, well, prices go a lot higher before causing a recession. and before you see demand destruction, i think there's a good chance that this is not short term. there's always the possibility of a short term pullback after prices rise as much as they have as quickly as they have. but there were these dynamics going on. there was a long downturn for oil,

and we too much under investment in oil over the last say, 7 years. and there were very harsh government policies in the us, canada, and elsewhere that were diminishing oil investment and oil production. and so this is kind of the result of that. obviously the russian invasion of ukraine was a, it was a catalyst and brought this forward. but this was something that was gonna happen anyway. oil is going to go all time highs kind of regardless. we'll take a quick break now, but when we come back protests ramping up around the well, with kohls for the west, to do more to aid you play, handling ease. south korea's presidential hopefuls taking a snappy slogans from the streets to the internet. ah

like any k, not his real name, who 1st joined in 2016 to fight the pro russian separatists in the east of the country, yet was unable to solve the pipe of that you're asking about our mood. if we really to defend ourselves after this treacherous invasion of ukraine, women, children, and the ugly, suffering homes of bombs at night. of course, the army is very angry about that. if we didn't provoke and we didn't want this, boy, they came to us and we ready to answer. he hoped, said the russians could be slowed down. but these handmade spikes, similar positions are being built a bit all over the ne provision and has become even more urgent now to have them completed. because the region has become the 1st stop for those fleeing the russian advance from either the south or the north east of the country to honda. at the village, ludmilla is busy cooking $200.00 meals. and the menu to day ras sonic

they are no signs of modern weaponry that could repel the onslaught for most ukrainians. the only safe way is to go west and get as far as possible. but up there meet al jazeera in eastern ukraine. as amos robbie is falling the refugee situation in the border crossing between ukraine and poland, he spoke to philip a grand in the united nations high commissioner for refugees. it's very difficult to even listen to their stories. days and days of travel in the cold from their bomb cities to seek safety here in poland, i saw the same 2 days ago in moldova, in romania it's all over, but paul, on this is taking the brunt of this enormous avalanche of people. 1.5000000, as you said, just today we reach this terrible figure. and the

what we also hear is that hundreds of thousands are on the move. so, and this is the prediction of the border guards here, who by the way, are doing a very good job. and they predict that the floor will increase not decrease in the next few days and perhaps beyond. now as you said, 1500000 people have already crossed. it hasn't even been 2 weeks. your prediction of 4000000 you were saying earlier might be too small in estimation. and it is a country of more than $40000000.00 people, a country that is currently under siege. what are your long term predictions for what might happen, or how much worse do you think it's going to get? is there any way to plan for it? it really depends on the conflict. if bombs continue to rain on cities, people will leave the yesterday or the day before. i can't even remember in moldova . many people told me that they were leaving or decile door. this is not under attack because the sirens started. the a reason sounding and they're so afraid that they leave. so it really depends on

that. that's why it's so important. yes, there's a lot of talk about humanitarian corridors. that's very important. we are may organization like others are in ukraine, will participate in any such operation to bring any relief to anybody who is trapped in the cities. but we need more than that. we need is his far we need is his session of hostilities. i would just want to update you on some, my new information we are getting on the wires now. the russian military apparently will hold fire to open humanitarian corridors in several ukrainian cities at 10100 moscow time. that's about a, just over an hour and a half hour from now. this is according to the russian into facts news agency. the car doors will be from key f like key f matter. you pull hard, give as sumi, and they will be opened at the french president emmanuel,

my crowns. request this again from the russian news agency into facts are citing the russian defense ministry. that's all we have on that. but more, more reaction on that to come short moving on protests against russia's invasion of ukraine have been held in several countries with calls for western powers to do more to broker a peaceful end to the violence. in russia, thousands were detained at anti war demonstrations. ne barker reports from london with a crisis in ukraine, deepening on a daily basis, concerns are growing here in london and in other european capitals about the direction of travel, of this incredibly unpredictable war. as you can see, the campaign for nuclear disarmament is out in force or the placards calling for a stop to the war. i come from lithuania, i feel like nato is doing everything they can. i do not necessarily think they

should send they troops to ukraine, at least just yet. i hope we can help with. i'm ignition support my me. i intelligence i'm from west computer. it's terribly painful with crying every day. my sister there, my nephew is in key. if you need basement from, show the sitting with family and it's terribly painful. it's unbelievable. but people of ukraine are very strong. you know, if you think you think that western powers could go further than they have done, oh, definitely definitely. in what way? firstly, to stop the goth coaches the gas in oil from russia because this is the most important, i think, i believe there is global disdain for russia's war in ukraine. this is catholic storm, a former soviet states, still heavily under the influence of russia. oh,

this is the chilean capital santiago, where people are calling for an end to the violence. yes. in russia, they have been courageous acts of defiance and multiple. this is saint petersburg and this is moscow where police out in fools. then the kremlin threatened to jail demonstrators for 15 years, and it's illegal to call the invasion of ukraine, anything but a special operation. oh, on the edge of red square, to protest to sing the ukrainian national anthem before being dragged away. large numbers of russians opposed to the war and now fleeing back country squeezed by western sanctions and persecuted by the russian state. yet, many of these anti war demonstrators went over the edge of the base that we might

be able to pull ourselves back from time. now say many of these demonstrators for western leaders to help grow good, almost impossible political solution to help bring us all back from the bring me faulkner al jazeera london or to other news. now israeli forces have killed a palestinian teenager in the occupied westbank. 16 year old that yemen, jaffa was shot dead near aberdeen on sunday after allegedly throwing molotov cocktails and soldiers. 9 are the palestinians, have been killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. in the last month. a syria says and his railey air attack has killed at least 2 people. report say they've been several explosions. heard in the sky over damascus. syrian state media is reporting the military responded to what is being called israeli aggression. the leader of south korea's ruling party has been taken a hospital after getting hit in the head while campaigning song young jill was

candidate appears. we've already injected a certain energy we prepare. so instead half catchy lyrics that people know will. and death moves that everyone can do together. at this dr. in event for the democratic party, those moves are socially distanced but intended to get the audience warmed up. routines like these are a vital component of any campaign and the more prominent the candidate, the more elaborate the performances become. but presidential hopefuls also rely increasingly upon technology to connect with voters, supported by some of the worlds fastest internet speeds. online campaigning is reaching new levels of ingenuity and another candidate to since dropped out on child, su held a news conference in the so called met averse of the interactive internet with real life journalists, appearing as computer generated figures. the 2 leading candidates have gone further with artificial intelligence, a i, by creating life like avatars of themselves,
