europe, aims to rain and big tack the european parliament moves to impose unprecedented curves on online content. and we take you to turkey, where record inflation means shops have to raise their prices almost daily. we'll look at if the government is things better or worse. and chelsea delaney and for land welcome to the show. global oil prices have surged to the highest level and 7 years this week. but analysts are warning that this could be just the beginning of the price rally. some now expect the price of a barrel of crew to top of 100 dollars this year. strong demand and the price supply problems are largely to blame. but geopolitical tensions are also playing a role. smoke rises from oil tanks that exploded in the united arab emirates. the satellite him, it shows the aftermath of an attack by humans. iran aligned hootie rebels.

3 tanks exploded, killing 3 people. the incident is still being investigated. but it shows how vulnerable the middle east is, not just the emirates, but also libya, and many other oil producing countries. geopolitical tensions also including the threat of a new russian invasion of ukraine, have caused a tremendous rise in the oil price within just a year. it increased by almost 70 percent. supply constraints are also adding to rising oil prices, petroleum producers, slight nigeria and russia have under invested in the sector. they expected lower demand because of the transition to green energy in many countries. demand for oil however, is not decreasing. quite the opposite, especially in china, where the middle class is growing and witted, the demand for heating, oil, and gasoline. now for more on this dns quarter,

our correspondent and new york joins us now. so yen is what our investor saying here are we going to see oil at $100.00 a barrel? well, actually, some traders are saying it's not or question if, but when all will reach a 100 to a barrel. goldman sachs, for example. it says, saying that could already happen in the 3rd quarter of this year. clearly that does depend on demand, what seems to be pretty strong. more and more countries are using a cobit restriction. so that is helping. and then on the other side, we have supplies and they don't seem to get too high at this point. the opec plus countries, for example, are having difficult just to even meet their production quote, us at this point. so at this moment it does look that actually we could see $100.00 that at the end. we also depend on production in the united states and will

also depend on demand, for example, from china, the 2nd largest economy on the planet organs. you mentioned that there, why is opec plus wire oil producers in general having such a hard time just pumping more oil? well, i mean, if you look at the united states, what has been the biggest producer on the planet in the past couple of years? a lot depends, for example, on the permian basin, that's where the shale production is taking place here in the united states, especially early on in 2020, when the condemning started, oil prices plunged. and so a lot of companies actually decided to take down those sale for production. and it does not work like a light switch where you can switch it on or off. so it takes time and investments to get production going again. and then we have those geopolitical tensions. pardon me, for example, in africa while opec plot is not meeting that production,

quote us at this point. again, scott court at new york. thanks so much now the european union says it's time for the likes of facebook and google to face more scrutiny here. the european parliament has now agreed to a proposal to do just that. it's called the digital services act. and it means that those mostly american tech jones would be require to do more to tackle illegal content on their platforms or risk, huge fines before it can become law and must be negotiated and implemented by you member states. that's a process that is likely to take many more months. but the dna is also raising concerns that it can be used to restrict free speech before that vote d w. brussels. your chief, alexandra von nomine caught up with more it's corner a member of the european parliament who helped write the bill. she asked him how far it's curbs would go. the big classrooms we, they,

they have to stick to the roots. we make sure that illegal content is taken down by the platform, but we also make sure that there is no censorship in the, in the digital world that we let things online that are legal and that we make sure that there is no big app load filtering and so on, we had huge protests by, especially young people a few years ago and we make sure that we strike the right balance here in regulating big tech. now over to turkey, where president roger tire air to one has pledge to bring down the country soaring inflation. but many blame his policy of keeping interest rates low for the current crisis are correspondent and drill julia han reports from assemble. for the m n g has to print new price stickers, milk eggs toilet paper. almost everything he sells in his small shop in is stumbles
