including the anti shit me, science as well by the, by the ministration is reversing a climate change initiative. little regime selling leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land. it's also increasing the royalties collected from energy companies by 50 percent. the change comes as the us president is under pressure to reduce energy prices, leave goes against his election campaign, pledge not to allow more drilling on government and land agenda and is head of oil market research at energy intelligence. he says, resuming oil and gas leases won't do much to bring prices down. it's a function of the growing economic pressures higher oil prices, higher gas prices, higher natural gas prices for that matter. you know, and, and the need to do something in an important mid term year. i mean, obviously, all of this has been exacerbated by the war. and that is, you know, given another leg onto this inflation that was already building before. so,

you know, this is kind of a step to try to try to alleviate that to some degree. i don't think it's going to be all that effective, but least messaging standpoint, they're, they're putting it out. there is something that the bottom ministration is going to put itself in, right, which is stuck between the rock and hard place of one hand, you know, alleviating their short term economic pressures. the other hand, pursuing the long term. you colonization priorities. i think at the moment, you know, right now if it's a world a short on supply supply of energy and really from an oil standpoint, only the only tool available if you are leaves with your body seen, announced. and that will help to kind of cap prices. i'm a lease on the upside, but it's still going to be a very tight market for the short term. i mean, it's still going to be a lot of pressure on with high prices and pressure, and consumers with high not just gasoline prices, but, but diesel, jeff, your other price as well. and so, you know, this, the step on opening up drilling. we says this is again, maybe

a step in the right direction. but remember, it's, you know, it's 80 percent, you know, less land that was, that was initially evaluated. 50 percent higher royalty rates plus environmental and other, you know, sort of loopholes that are attached to it. so, you know, the likelihood of it, you know, actually getting a strong uptake is low. and again, it's not going to leave you short term supply pressure. and that's, that's the challenge. now taliban authorities in the africa capital have some boxes, fans, or basketball is in protest against alleged military strikes inside of gun this done by bucket sunny forces, not local media, se the boxes on the apples killed at least 30 people in cost province, women and children are reported to be amongst the boxes on, has denied it, carried out the thrice which followed recent fighting with the boxes on the taliban . the pockets on has been playing a balancing act between similar but different taliban factions. the buckets on the taliban known as the rekey dollar bottle, the t t p has been carrying out attacks in the countries north western belt for
