to the, came about what a senior administration official is telling us is that this was the result of months of negotiation that has taken place at the lower diplomatic level between the united states and russia, this is surprising, given the fact that we're now to the 63rd day of very difficult tensions minutely contracted tuberculosis and they were fearful that you may not return to the united states alive. kimberly relations, as you say, between russia has been basically saying, you know, world war 3 is a possibility. and yet here we have the us working with russia, or do you think that americans are going to be just happy to have this american home? there is no question that americans are going to be happy to have trouble read home . that is one possibility and that was countered by a statement by b. as recently as yesterday, the defense secretary lloyd austin colleague,

important bringing americans home, who been unjustly detained abroad, and there's no question the trouble was unjustly detained. this is traditionally, since the founding of american diplomacy been a higher priority in this particular cares. trevor read shows, courier classes for the russians more embarrassment were come if he were to die and russia cost. so the russians have more of an incentive to really well, it's not exactly like july, but finding real life for life goes quite hard because you're ashamed. hands and these kinds of things do take place despite attention, such as of course, the war cry. for example, america and russian cosmonaut professional having a united front against russia over its invasion of ukraine. how do you think this is likely to go down with its allies in europe?

will be consent, security, order, europe, and america hold quite dearly. alright, i thank you very much for your time william courtney. they're a former us ambassador with the west over the war and ukraine by turning off the gas temps to to e u countries. it's pushed european leaders to hold an emergency meeting. you commission president s lavonne lion has accused moscow of using gas to blackmail nations. russia state controlled energy giant gas problem suspended deliveries to poland and bulgaria st. doesn't know if sure that you're interested or gas storage is or 76 percent full. this is a high level of feeling much higher than in most european countries. and therefore also when i was our gas terminal and you've been a wish, jazz which can receive even larger amounts of liquefied gas. so we will try to rise to the occasion in this difficult time terms. obviously gas is used as a political and economical to in terms of the ongoing war and not in the term of a legal and commercial relationship. european commission president has lavonne de

lion officers the you as well prepared for a shortage of russian gas gas crumbs announcement that. 9 it is unilaterally stop use this fossil fuels to try to black. my last, this is something that your team commission has been preparing for in close coordination and solidarity, and says ukraine was pushed to cache with russia and moscow's reaction with just unfair. speaking a short time ago, he warned that any country that interferes in ukraine will face consequences if anyone would want to interfere with what's happening in ukraine now from the outside, they have to know rushes response will be swift. weather turns warm up. recovering both sides of the storing the d. bava is standing by for us in london. but 1st, let's head to moscow with our course. wanted to certainly the russian president is not really passing up this opportunity to

reiterate the reasons that he felt it was necessary for him to make the decision to send the russian troops into crane in what he calls a special movie. speaking quite a bit about the objectives that he set out for his legislative officials about ensuring that russia's economy stays intact. and he said that the attempts that have been made by the western powers to try to cripple russia's economy through severe sanctions have failed. and that to russia is standing still a and they are not going to allow its economy to crumble. he also urge the officials that he was speaking to well, at 1st waitlist look a gas from as a whole. it's a state own company and majority state own company, it is the largest, so certainly this is going to have an impact, but at the kremlin spokesperson, dmitri pascall has said that this should not come as

a surprise that the to cut they would have to pay for russia, russian gas in a local currency, and these 2 countries haven't done so, and that is why this has happened. but he said that it language and rhetoric coming from the european countries is simply wrong. and that there is a very, it's a technical issue that can be remedied very quickly. as soon as those countries pay what they owe russia in the local currency and dos to bar. therefore, us and moscow. thank you. of course have an alternate dean. bother who's in london, the deem tell us more than about the european reaction and, and the impact of that is likely to have will came, that has been an effort to labor. what's happened with gas problems across europe, as black, camille, on july. and they had of the europe, ian commission said it was eating of a gas coordination group. she said the poland and bulgaria were now receiving guest supplies from the immediate neighbors in solidarity. but only some point has dosa

was saying russia was presenting. this is a technical issue saying that the, the countries simply and dollars or years, but then converted into roubles or on the lie and said that in fact, agreeing to do that would be a breach of european union. that there was no reason for his population to worry the, the, the non delivery of gas to bulk area won't affect his population. poland saying that they have large capacity that most of the gas storage facilities, a full even germany now saying that stepping up efforts to seek alternative sources like liquefied natural gas prices have been hit. they've gone up on wednesday, but it's not clear for how long all this will play into the existing energy price crisis on the continents. all right, and the team, bob are there for us in london. thank you. i think now the chris we for he is the

chief executive, e, you, do you think really surprised that russia has, has kept his word on this? what contingencies are in place? no, as it can be. no surprised at russia has, has taken his action. i was clear that they were likely to make an example of some countries on some contracts and which is and the nations that might be targeted. and, and it's also been well of the size that russia regards, poland, and bulgaria as amongst the least friendly countries are most and friendly. so targeting these 2 countries, not fries. and also of course, poland has been the country. it's been that has been making the greatest progress towards a if you like, replacing russia gas eventually buying gas directly from, from norway to buy more from l a. g. so in that sense, at least at the fact has happened, does not have a dispute. this is a good time of the year to have it happens both but in simple terms, intact. ah, the wind winter has not been that bad. there is

a reasonable amount of gas in storage across europe. we're now heading in towards, you know, spring, summer or gas usage across continent will go down and therefore disrupting gas flows for the next several months. if this, what happens is not going to be damaging and will be manageable within europe, the problem will arise. it isn't going to hold gas supplies to others to thank or well, we actually see some countries start paying and roubles it, sir, sir damon mechanisms. so to customers in europe, pay in dollars are yours, yours any under contract in to especially accounting gas from. but because of course, the conversion from ethics rubles, must take place with central bank of russia, which is sanctions. so this is by the ear commission, and the timing is every everything this we might see some disruption of gas to other countries. but given the time of year,

it is not going to cause major economic problems across europe. the price spike is predictable for as a trader reaction, but there is plenty of gas in europe to, to summer, into the autumn as a say the problem will be there. thank you. you welcome towards happening now on the battlefield. and mary paul, city official say russia continues to strike the last remaining ukrainian army positions there. the $35.00 ariel hits since monday, thousands of ukrainian fighters and civilians are an underground tunnels and chambers below the as of south steel plant. last week that he had put in order troops not to storm the plant to blockaded. russia agreed in principle to allow the u. n. n. the red cross to help evacuate civilians from the steel plant. mary paul of to putin's meeting with the un secretary general on tuesday. nobody will both comin' up here in the mary porter. the ukrainian forces are also confronting the russian military in the east. 5th fighting has been reported in mid july of and
