part of the 5th sanctions package imposed on moscow over the war and ukraine to cope with the hog, turn away from russian energy. you countries including spine, have been sitting consumption caps. leah harding has more it has been a sweltering summer in madrid. but as temperatures have sort, so to has the cost of fuel. so the spanish government has mandated that offices and stores cannot set their cooling systems below 27 degrees celsius. in an area dependent on tourism, locals are afraid, the heat wave an crack down on energy could scare visitors away. even if a discipline these filter, it's going to be impossible because now we are 18 degrees inside. if we go up to $27.00 degrees, we're going to be sweating all day. we won't need to go to the gym the for just give out a lot of heat and the customers are going to complain. nobody's going to come in.

2:23 pm
that the maximum output of generation that the you case power generators could manage would be around 85 percent of demand. clearly a 15 percent shortfall on demand and if that happens, then that would have to be emergency measures triggered. it's likely that those would impact industrial consumers rather than domestic consumers. but nevertheless, it is worrying. i suppose it's reassuring on one level that the government is actually contemplating these scenarios at what critics are saying is not very reassuring. is that that doesn't seem to be a concerted policy to respond to them at the moment. britain of the balance is effectively leaderless forest. johnson remains the prime minister, but isn't make any big policy decisions while his successor is being decided. and neither of those 2 contestants who want to be next prime minister can agree on what they want to do going forward for britain from london. thank you very much. china's military says it has finished its live fire drills in the taiwan straits. the navy
