project is nearing completion from twenty nineteen the north stream to pipeline will deliver natural gas from russia via the baltic sea directly to germany since twenty twelve russian gas is being exported to germany through the first north stream pipeline to will double the amount of gas delivered to more than one hundred billion cubic meters a year the project divides europe as it completely bypasses ukraine if russia stops using the pipelines that go through ukraine kiev stencil those up to two point eight billion dollars in annual transit fees. construction for the new pipeline is underway on the northern german coast hundreds of steel pipes are set to be welded together on the vessels and then drawn into the baltic sea the ten billion euro project has calls rifts within europe poland and ukraine oppose it they fear germany will become too dependent on russian gas a concern shared by the american government. germany imports forty percent of its

gas from russia twenty nine percent comes from the netherlands norway supplies it with twenty one percent only seven percent comes from german gas fields supplied from e.u. countries will decline in the future because the blocks gas resources i did missing germany however desperately needs more gas it is going to turn off its nuclear plans in four years and it also wants to shut down coal power plants meanwhile we knew it was like wind and solar are unstable energy sources. that means that germany needs natural gas to feel the supply gap the country is planning to build its first liquefied natural gas terminal that will allow l.n.g. ships from qatar the u.s. and other countries to transport their gas to germany the energy transition the move from nuclear and coal comes with a hefty price tag it means that you are ups largest economy could become more dependent on foreign gas especially from russia. is

ukraine's deputy foreign minister have europe and russia forgotten about ukraine. i don't think so but i do think that europe are good to about work and about the consequences so who are being insecure in this respect is this about. security or is it about business you know for us it's a matter of security and it's definitely not about their revenues it's about the guarantee of our security and the pipeline we have this is the kind of guarantee of her eyes why did trump say that germany will become captive to russian energy because germany will oversee if more than eighty percent of russian gas because at the moment it's getting sixty percent from norway the netherlands its own production as well i mean that is still quite a big song yeah and it will be among the. diversification one manipulation because

it will be increase of this amount of gas in germany and the sounds around eastern conscious of europe they are all as a transit conference do you think trump is on your side i do think that trump has his own interests but he definitely supports and understand that russia is a threat he's only interests in that he would like to sell liquefied natural gas to europe which is more actually this in or out at the same time we're talking about security. the amount of transit money that you would lose out on what does that mean to your economy an economy that is already battered a country that is going through so much conflict this is actually in the moment was spent on our army and this is how we protect our country against pressure with the support there for nato conference and with any kind of american bases in the territory does ukraine then need to rethink how it does business definitely we need

to have a support from other countries central allies in order to protect ourselves. are you worried about germany's security i mean what is germany's security how can that have consequences for ukraine germany has military bases and germany is protected by the article five of the nato that we are not and definitely left security what guaranteed volume of natural gas transiting through ukraine would you like to see or would you need to drop your opposition to this project i don't think that we believe in any kind of guarantees especially from russia we have a bill that best memoranda and what happened with us who now help us to protect ourselves by the actually we do rely on some support from germany in

order to set the peace in the you create but definitely we don't believe in any deals with russians look how many companies are behind this deal how many german companies french companies it's a huge european if it surely it's not and if it's a target it ukraine it's definitely a very economical of i'll bow project because european legislation is not that like a bow on it and they can't air in montana without any kind of rules. at the same time we committed ourselves to full the apply european legislation in the ukraine and to act in accordance with the european legislation one more word from you what would you like to see come twenty nineteen when this project is actually finalized it's one of the world's most controversial projects but it looks like it is going to go ahead or still rely on application of rules and legal regimes on all projects

including our stand to and we do think that this is a kind of way forward without sanctions to create and normal legal framework which will be applicable for all activists and their markets if you would support you where sanctions against german companies i would support placation over this directive on north seem to thank you very much for coming in today it's been a pleasure talking to the family as well. to greece's so called red gold saffron is only cultivated in very few countries but as it's nice to just say it is extremely expensive the greeks have been doing it for three centuries and even helped some of them through the global financial crisis. saw from only grows for a few weeks in autumn the spices extracted from three red threads that grew inside the saw from crocus flour. that picked out by hand which is why suffer from
