to two weeks of strike at the facility, says analyst, and for more on that is an independent expert on australian soil and gas industry and hejoins us now from houston. could you happy back on the programme. just a short while back we were talking about the prospects of this ending. what is the latest you are hearing? this is over and that is final?— and that is final? that is ri . ht. and that is final? that is right- the _ and that is final? that is right. the threat - and that is final? that is right. the threat of - and that is final? that is| right. the threat of these abstracts —— strikes at the lng projects has ended and this is without an impact on global gas supply occurring and not a drop of domestic gas was lost either. this should really draw to a close now the threat of strikes across australia's lng facilities as most have entered agreements would last for a few years with the possible exception of some potential action at the northwest shelf lng plants next year. as a result we expect the risk

of supply coming online and while russian supply is off—line it that the ministry maintains and any threats whether it is union action here but other disruptions we could see around the world or even demand strikes. more recently we have seen a pickup in demand in northeast asia. any of these actions can start to see prices spike at a global level. we can't separate a and australia from us europe anymore and that is why traders are on edge and thatis is why traders are on edge and that is why global energy security is in such a parallel state for at least the next few years. state for at least the next few ears. ~ state for at least the next few ears, ~ ., , , . ., state for at least the next few ears. ~ years. we appreciate you “oinini years. we appreciate you joining us _ years. we appreciate you joining us back _ years. we appreciate you joining us back on - years. we appreciate you joining us back on the - joining us back on the programme with your perspective on what this means globally and details on the resolution that has been arrived at. thank you very much. switching focus to now another labour dispute that we have been tracking closely and that is affecting some of the largest car manufacturers in the united states. with a fast approaching friday deadline for a threatened

expansion of those strikes, there is still no sign of a deal between the united auto workers and the detroit three automakers. the now seven—day stand—off has sparked fears about a negative impact that could ripple through supply chains and also possibly dead us economic growth. so, we will be tracking the fallout of that very closely here on the bbc and getting updates as and when they do come in. let's turn to wall street because there has been a broad sell—off in us markets after the federal reserve officials that they will be keeping interest rates higher for longer. will be keeping interest rates higherfor longer. all will be keeping interest rates higher for longer. all three major us stock industry are stumbled more than 1%, as you can see they're up on our screens. it was following remarks by the fed chairman jerome powell warning inflation still has a long way to go before it approaches the comfortable central bank's 2% target. but the fed's restrictive policy has global repercussions, so what is that
