the decision that was taken by the father african cabinet in 2016 that the conditions are not right at this stage to, to legalize the trade, those on the ground disagree, nothing. what we are doing is working. so we must change something and that's the only thing that hasn't been tried. so we must openly discuss it. best case scenario, there are 15000 rhinos left in south africa. and the industry inside is believe that could be wiped out ingest 6 years. we know that can be saved if you know how to and you don't do it, but you wait for everybody else to then it's your fault. emily anglin, al jazeera, great, a kreger region, south africa farmers in new jersey and could be taxed for greenhouse gas emissions . produced by livestock, me saying from livestock flatulence is a major source of greenhouse gas. the country has 10000000 capital and 26000000

chic compared to its population. only 5000000 people levy could come into effect from 2025. ah. i'm sam is a that with a headlines here. now they are now nato secretary general, once member states to send more air defense systems to ukraine. this week has seen some of the biggest russian air strikes across the crime since the start of the invasion. 12 cities with targeted ukraine's energy minister says russian missiles of hit around 30 percent of the country's energy infrastructure. around $300.00 areas were left without power following the russian and tax. on monday and tuesday, the mayor of the city of laverne says it will take months to repair energy facilities. there. i have a jump. jim is innovative. all the power disruptions and the disruption to the

water services in the live region that they have all been repaired and that everything is back online in levin. the city that we're in, which is the cultural capital of ukraine, here in the west of the country. and also the wider live region. now i can tell you that there is a sense of relief amongst those that we've been speaking with today. residents of the city who are glad that electricity is back on the water is back on rushes, president said, europe is to blame for its energy crisis. vladimir putin said gas could still be supplied by one intact part of the nod stream to pipeline. but germany cancel the project off the russia, sent troops, and to ukraine. people who in france is struggling to buy petrol is refinery and storage. workers hold a strike, staff at oil giants total energies and exxon mobil have walked off. the job,

demanding pay rises. the french government is ordering some to return to their sites, but it's being defiant in parts of the country, petrol has been rationed to 30 liters per car. housed indians in the shaw fires refugee camp and occupied east jerusalem of launched the strike and protest against a days long siege by israeli forces. israeli army blocked entrances and exits since saturday after a soldier was shot dead in the tack. at one of the checkpoints, those in the camp say they're being collectively punished. those the headlines, it's the strain now. the chinese communist party hold it 20th congress. delegates will meet to discuss constitutional change, economic challenges, and phone policy with president gene being likely to secure at that time. will he be given even more power to pursue his vision for the future full as a story on oh to 0?

god i welcome to the stream. i'm josh rushing. think going on for, for me. ok. as russia's war and ukraine continues, people around the world are suffering from a protracted global energy crisis. the secretary general did you when it's called it an existential costa living crisis. for hundreds of millions of people today, we take a look at how people are affected by energy shortages, price increases, and what it will take to bring relief. but 1st, let's hear from one of our community members, tim, the museo, about how we got to this point. i think there are 3 things to consider when we think about the ongoing energy crisis. and the 1st is our structural reliance on fossil fuels as the dominant energy source in our economies. the 2nd is obviously the invasion of ukraine by russia, that increases risk and risk, it's priced and to the market prices for energy. and the 3rd is very slow movement

of most governments to d, carbonized economy. all right, so that was gems opinion, but we want to hear years to share your questions and your comments right here in the youtube chat and be a part of this show. ah, joining us from log oops, is nose mot bada mossey, a journalist and writer a foreign policy to africa brief and in darker counter car, gloom muslim research director at the center for policy dialogue and with us from edinburgh. simon francis coordinator of the end, fuel poverty coalition. guys, thank you so much for joining me today. we're going to talk about the way the energy crisis. it seems to be the world was moving rather slowly from fossil fuels to clean energy or renewables. but the war and ukraine has

really kind of exacerbated the, the slow speed that we've move that the world's turned here. so muslim, can you kind of talk to me about what's happening with the global energy crisis and the way it's impacting different regions of the world? in fact, most of the economics in the world are dependent on the limited number of sources of energy because of the russian work, which is a major source of supply. particularly as well as the gas to lead. and because of sanction over russia, because of the most of the other part of the world are being suffering for lack of supply, adequate supply of petroleum. as a result, what happens is that due to legal number of stuff like major can pretty, depending on if limited the by sources,

particularly in the country. and because of that the ice has gone up significantly and it has reached $203.00 per battle. now it is $96.00 and it has increased but 60 percent on why this can be managed by the deadlock upgrades who have had a group florida to reserve and could use that research for william at a higher price. but most of the loving countries have a limited part is, are facing a very big co what it is high price, because for bon, that is going to be like us. we are a party depending on the going to stick. guess the light and big ricky we have depending on the digital and l a g. and because of the product is that we are facing a travel called importing adequate amount of boxes. and that's why we're on

a regular basis. low, shady, now of electricity because he's happy guess how busy the industry happening at these guys guys is not actually taking a lot. most of the other countries are facing the same problem, indonesia by norma. because that has some, ben, italy in the word also pissing the of the problem. but the problem positive looking much at you come back to bed of the did look well, you know, mom i want to show what it's like actually entry long and being with us. we have a bit of match up a video here. check this out. been ha, them caught up in the evening. nobody told us about the availability of kerosene. my mother and father did not eat any food because i was waiting in the queue as there is no kerosene to cook our food at home. finally, they said there is no kerosene. see you go home, but i can't even go home because i have no kerosene to cook food. i am poor. i have to stay in the queue. i have nothing to eat. everybody said go home,

go home. but i can't get what they are. my mother won't be all. no candles made dessert till he asked me about candles and par one bizarre. but i haven't found him bear either. i can't light a candle at my shop in his low chair or batteries low, and there's no way to charge. so that's what's happening in asia. but i also want to talk about what's happening in africa. look at this, this was sent in from dr. angela goosey, she is the united nations development program and gonna check out what she has to say around the world, a 900000000 people without access to electricity. and unfortunately, 72 percent of those are in africa. the rise in energy prices is also pushing up food inflation and fuel costs. and this means that there's a 3rd crisis emerging. the cost of living crisis, which could push 71000000 people into poverty. according to the united nations development program must have a massive investment in keen energy,

as well as energy efficiency to disrupt the global demand for fossil fuels. so the developing countries will be able to achieve the target of providing clean and affordable energy for all by 2030. so, so knows much he was saying the 72 percent of the people in the world without electricity are in africa. but you're joining us from logos, nigeria produces a ton of oil, and gas is a situation better there. what's happening? not at all and about half of nigerian population actually have no access to electricity. and one of the, the major problems that nigeria has is that it, it exports crude oil and then import refine doyle. so it's still faced with the same kind of a high energy prices,

because technically it's still importing and it's out sort of finished oil. and there are fewer refineries in, in our, the country. and thus, what are the, are the major challenges? another problem is that nigeria has been facing a lot of feel fast. at the moment yesterday, the nigerian at petroleum corporation announced that they had found 58 different tapping point 4 and for oil fast. and because if that it is not we ching it, so peg target. so a nigeria is actually quite a resource rich. her c o paul, what is it getting higher dollars for the fuel? it is selling internationally. amazon money. does it make it way? it's way back into the country. it is getting. yeah. yeah.

so yes, the, the government is making a profit amendment with a high a price is that there is an issue of how much of that is that she felt it down to the people. and how much of that is that she spend told infrastructure one is the, and it's not just the old fast, that's the problem. one is that the main issue is also, is that it is not and could have investing the money that it makes into developing. and maintaining high lights. now i want to bring in another piece of video. this is actually from the president of the e. u. commission. ursula vander liam. and she talks about basically the, the potent affect it. and what's happening here with the issue and his need for oil

it is because of quoting and his war that the energy prices are high. gas prices are high, electricity prices are high. that is the price he wants us to pay. so we have taken many steps in the past already to address the skyrocketing prices. just to give you a figure of we have been able not only to get rid of russian coal overall, but also till the end of the year we will line down russian oil to 10 percent of what we initially had. and if you look at the gas supply, the biggest factor at the beginning of the war of all imported gas, russia had 40 percent. now we're down to 7.5 percent within 7 months. simon. so she said at the beginning of the invasion of ukraine, that the you depended on russia for 40 percent of its gas is now down to 7 and a half percent. couple of questions. what does it mean in europe where you are,

when they can't get the gas, but to what does it mean for the rest of the world? when europe, with a steeper pockets goes out and starts taking up more of the market? well, i think the 1st problem is that this, this problem is not just as a result of the war and ukraine. this problem has been festering for a long time in europe, successive governments across, across study in the u. k. and across europe have not been enough to invest in energy efficiency measures. that's a way of like reducing our use of gas and electricity over the longer term. and we have those measures that many campaign is right. you're calling for them. we wouldn't have been so exposed to the volatility of the gas prices right now, because one of the biggest problems is that so much electricity in certainly in the u. k. but also elsewhere is generally for gas fired power stations. so we're importing gas. so in into that tricity,

it sounds not because we got enough renewables in europe that we shouldn't even need to do that yet. again, successive governments have not gone fast enough towards renewable. so that means that we're stuck in this position where we're having to kind of stay increased prices. i think for us, the biggest problem is that the poverty here is we're getting into, into winter in the u. k. and across northern europe is that we're going to see more and more people living in cold, damp homes, and not me if you have a preexisting health conditions. if you've got asked miss scott long conditions, if you've got cardiovascular conditions, if you're disabled, if you're elderly, if you're young, you know, all, all these people are really badly affected by living in cold homes. it makes preexisting conditions worse. that's going to put more strain on the health service is as well. so we're facing real challenges here because governments have not taken action in the past now, but you know, somewhat one man's crisis is another man's opportunity. i want to bring in antonio

. good terror as the un secretary general, who speaks about the morality of the profits that are being made on this issue. cysts it is immoral for oil and gas companies to be making records profits from these energy crises on the back of the buddhist people and communities. and that the massive costs to the climates, the combined profits of the largest energy companies in the 1st quarter of this year at close to an end that had $1000000000.00 us dollars. i urge all governments to tex these excessive profits and use the funds to support the most vulnerable people through these difficult times. so more them tears, they're saying that government attacks energy companies hire. i want to bring in someone who's in the youtube channel right now watching this is richard w, who says government should give free solar panels, wind turbines,

and storage batteries to every community to use whenever possible it be. the 1st step to breaking up the oligarch believes, what do you, what should governments do here was how should they address us? yes, i think you just heard about the experience that the garbage isn't actually not at all importance on the renewables. and the same is true for other developing countries, be good bundle. we can over g depended on domestic gas as well as for the e, l, n, g and, and he's still young and he's also true for other developing countries. some of the countries are now focusing on the radio, but basically still renewable. it's not considered as a major automated of the energy crisis. if you can see that most of the crisis is generated because all over g defenders to

offer to beat you for replacing simply by the radio solar we hydro lots of opportunities that definitely it will be much more and much more bitter energy be developing countries to tackle this kind of situation. unfortunately, even my country got big thing. that's the situation we got over there we go. continue with the same. we as it has been focusing on the, on the but we are, we also think that how the, how the water is getting to be getting longer and getting to be complicated and how it's a challenge. this would be for a future and i think so he paid that to golf banks not only invalid, but lucky countries should pay much attention by where shifting from from to radio increasing. and that is a good solution. better solution for this kind of conflicts. talking about global

solutions, i want to bring in collude care, who is the director of the confluence advisory and cartoon sudan checked us out. energy security relies on the availability of sustainability and the affordability of energy. and latest move to production by raising energy prices is going to affect the school. but quite clearly, most at most the effect countries that are already vulnerable to just the nomic, but governance shocks. it's therefore very important, i think, for countries that are frankly going to be making a killing out of this latest move, set up the global trust fund to ensure that countries and communities are able to weather their energy and security for the next few months. if not on a longer term basis. simon, one of those countries that she refers to making

a killing is norway, do you see a governmental obligation for the countries who are the recipients of this when fall to set up something serious for to kind of a global security fund there that they could contribute to, to address these type of crises moving forward. i think that was a really telling problem because the sons are literally making a killing. you know, people are going to die because they can't afford to keep their homes will. they can afford to charge respirators if they're asthmatic, they can't afford to live a decent standard. and so yeah, that's absolutely a moral obligation. i think the inspector general's that on these firms to really put the profits back into helping those the most in need. and i think what's really important to remember is that as profits all the way through the system. so, you know, you know, gas from the pipe is extracted to the point. it's delivered into somebody's house,

lots and lots of different private companies, though, making a profit over trading that on transmitting it. and you know, the profits run deep, deep through the whole energy market. so, in the u. k, they introduced the windfall tax. nowhere near actually as much as the windfall taxes in other in other countries. so we need to see people really pushing in those windfall taxes to help pay for the solutions that not just going to kind of help us get through the current energy courses. but also going to help us make sure that we are not susceptible to search crises in the future. i want to check in with our youtube community again. lucas says let's be realistic here. the u. s. is causes global crisis. how does the use sanction a country that provides them with energy you and us should be condemned by the rest of the world. richard says opec control supply and supply controls prices. opec himself, as high prices, will bankrupt the world economy and cause the greatest recession in history. and

jonathan pressed as hard push forward to nuclear power or other fusion slash fusions of taking the efficient solutions. so one term back to knows my and curious as it is, if 72 percent of people who don't have electricity in the world are in africa, what is the push? they're like for green solutions, renewable solutions, non fossil fuel solutions. i think a lot of african leaders and see that as part of their long term goals. the immediate needs means the fossil feels i need to be part of the energy mix. as i said, you know, there are a lot of countries in africa that the majority of the population do not have any access to electricity. i think one expert,

and i think he put it really, wow. he, he said, you know, renewable energy is for people who have power to worry about it for people who have their light, soul to worry about. if you are a, you know, an, a pregnant women giving birth in northern nigeria and you're doing that without any electricity than you're not thinking about renewable energy. you just want any type of energy, missouri. i think that you get, there you go down i guess as just a heard from, from the discussion. i think the reading that has don't necessarily consider to be a great base and it read base. the supply of, of electricity happen for,

even for the non days, even the meaning a supply of electricity. so no, using the solar or maybe other a week or other. and that can use quite sectors in bundle dish in india as well. so i don't think that there are, it is always considered to be a very smart base electricity system which is available. we use a halt of the best that is required for, you know, do not like that happening, authentic, we, at the much more cheaper. we that i am actually thank you. i just add another point that i heard just about the decision of all big boss, countries for reduction offer to me and the battle to be fixed up like we are really surprised to see the how the open countries have taken such a decision when they just said that how is severely affecting the

energy security due to most of the part of the word as such a decision in such a very difficult time for opec to make the decision to cut back that much per day? no, it's not. you want to jump back in and then have another question for you just so you guys know we've got about 3 minutes left in the show. i mean, yes, that panels all of very, very important that great that they also require maintenance and they also require up cheese. and a lot of you know, these very, very poor communities. if you're in a family room area and you go to a solar panel, fitted, if it breaks down and it's 2 hours, you know, to, to, to, to, to find somebody to fix it. that's not a solution for you. that's right. so i'm, i want to ask broader question. so i know that there's a lot of international pressure on, let's say,

many of the countries in africa to not start new fossil fuel projects to only go toward renewable clean energy. but then at the same time, when europe needs the energy, they're the ones buying it and leaving some of the poor countries kind of left wanting and needing electricity at any cost. is there a policy involved in that? sure, i mean, you know, what's really interesting is seeing how community energy we've been talked about. another context, we not happening here. so people are also using, you know, kind of agree with that, that gardens at community wind turbine things. so people are trying to do that, so yeah, we have kind of probably slightly better access to kind of those silver pads. but i think i think the proxy is also the fact that so much of this is controlled by global and international firms. have great, big glossy corporate social responsibility, documents and policies. and yet they're making huge amounts of profits on the box,

the misery of people right across the world. and i think, you know, we need to see action on the, on a coordinated global scale to try to bring energy supply to people who need it. the most knows my, i'm a give you the last 60 seconds. were you trying to jump in there? yeah, just so that the kind of an itchy pauper's c, a it at string. i think the if one of the things that has really annoyed a lot of african countries is that they have been trying to find the investments. but they, they are being stopped by western nations and europe's imports have south african co rise, 8 fold, you know, within, within the, the 1st 6 months is 2022. now g, 7 nations were also the ones that back to

a landmark 8500000000 deal to how we in south africa off cold. yet they are the ones also importing and south african call it just, it, it's, it's a double standard. yeah. now that's right. and as the northern hemisphere approaches winter, i think this is only going to become more of an acute issue that we'll continue to follow here on our desert english. or i think all of my guests for being with us today, simon milan and now thought it was great talking to you. and as i said, i, julia will keep watch on the switch before. thank you. ah,

indonesia your investment destination, the world's 10 largest economy is busy transforming, ready to beat your business. partner with a robust talent for politically and economically stable and strong policies being the powerhouse indonesia is confirmed by the g. 20 presidency. bringing opportunities for you invest indonesia. now, a sense of belonging, walk down any street and park tail. you can feel the present and spend community and the everyday heroes that keep communities together. i give them the best sampling for both logos. always logo in a new 4 part series as a 0. those into unique communities revealing how they're adapting to 21st century challenges. a sense of community coming soon on a just a train

and sit with funny cation and cultural tradition. hollywood thing on here. this was the moment the likes of which we have never seen. this is important. this is your story from breaking down the headlines to exposing the power is attempting to st. silence reporting. we're seeing media freedom being threatened and attacked is basically criminalizing journalism. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is compet. people have no idea what the source of use is that the game, the role and that was for the avenues. why on out is there.
