a business i rob watson berlin, welcome to the program. contentions between russia and ukraine, force europe into an energy rethink. much of the continent is heavily reliant on natural gas imported from russia, but weakened relations between moscow and is european neighbors mean that supply is looking less secure. the latest figures show that the e u. imported 168000000000 cubic meters of gas from russia last year. that's an awful lot to lose. should russia for whatever reason, choose to turn off the taps? remember europe is already in the middle, middle of an energy crunch. so how could your make up for the loss? well, liquefied natural gas could be a solution. currently, the e, you imports a 100 tankers worth of allen g a month, but to replace russian gas, that number would have to triple from the united states. so is europe in any position to live without russian gas?

well, let's discuss that very question. with david butter. he's an associate fellow at the international affairs think tank chatham house and join me shortly here on the program. so can you just tell us whether importing energy for the united states could ever truly make up for the loss of russian gas? well, we clearly can't hear from david garza from chatham house. we'll try to get him up a bit later on in the program and we'll have another go at that. but in the meantime, let's have a look at some of the other global business stories that are making use around the world. b, p is due to stop producing aviation fuel containing 5 percent left over cooking oil at the plant in germany. on monday, the raw material comes from canteens and catering businesses, which is energy companies. airlines can use the fuel immediately without any technical modifications. new data shows the german government spent 42000000000

corrupt autocrats and drug dealers, that's at least according to an investigation. by consortium of over 40 media organizations worldwide. the stress bank says it rejects insinuations about it's purported practices. let's get morning from our 4th cassandra sunday to join me in the studio. thanks for joining us because i'm just not the, some massive claims in these documents. what do we heard from them? so as you mentioned just a moment ago, all the stems from an international effort coordinated by the organized crime and corruption reporting project. and it involves 48 different media outlets, big names like the mind and the guardian. and the context here is really what makes this so incredible, folks might know or remember that credit suisse is the 2nd largest bank in switzerland. and this leak included information about 18000 accounts. now, from what we've gathered, we haven't seen the documents, but from what the reports are telling us. most of that those funds aren't dirty,

but the pile of dirty money is huge. we're talking about 7000000000 euros worth of funds and the crimes we're talking about here. as you mentioned, they're not petty crimes. they're linked to corrupt business men and politicians. yes. but they're also links to people involved in torture and drug trafficking. so this is an enormous bank, 2nd biggest in switzerland, but it says a brand that people will know around the world. couldn't people expect credit suisse about shipping a bit more attention to who it's allowing to hold money. and it's a cow exactly rob. and that's why credit suisse is coming under such intense scrutiny, because not only are some of these people very well known, but their crimes are well documented and also well known. i'll just go through a very brief list here. we've gotten big names like the sons of the former egyptian, a dictator, hosni mubarak, they've been convicted of embezzlement. and you might also remember the case of the former siemens employee, a german named edwards. i dell. he confessed in 2006 to german authorities to his

role in an industrial sized bribery scheme. yet his accounts remained open well into the next decade. there's another case of a swedish man. he's serving a life sentence for human trafficking, convicted in 2011. his account stayed open for another 2 years. and we also have accounts linked to business men and politicians involved with the business wayland state oil company. had a visa, notorious for the last few years for being engulfed in the corruption. but these are all red flags. a lot of key words here that if your monitoring these accounts should be red flags, but yet these accounts stayed open. so the question becomes, shouldn't credit suisse have known that these accounts were linked to often convicted criminal? it was that safe for them. so that's a great question. they have responded. they strongly reject the idea that the bank has problematic business practices. and they've said that these matters, as they've called them, are historical, with some cases dating back to the 1940 s. and they noted that 90 percent of the

accounts were closed before they started being approached by media outlets. ok, so thank you very much. for staying on top of that for us. thank. the hong kong has just posted a record high daily number of covey 19 cases over 7500 businesses on the island had already been contending with some of the strictest restrictions on travelers in the world. but loc downs, aimed at controlling the current outbreak of fir, the challenge. hong kong quarantine facilities are overflowing, and some hospitals already running out of beds. but as cases reach, pandemic record levels here, the government isn't planning a city wide lockdown. still, businesses already feeling the pain. going to come in, jeanette, if i grant idle will guide you, the pandemic is very serious. no less barely any one on the street. turner, i'm a big one. your people going out to what that means? no business for restaurants, daniel,

from the this fit and way really impacts us terribly. it's really an ice age for catering businesses or how i wanted to retire. you know, for many business owners closing temporarily appears to be the best solution. helping them stay afloat while saving on some costs, including energy and labor. but that leaves thousands with no income at a time when inflationary pressures on the rise. some economists are warning that hong kong may fall behind the current global economic recovery. in the short run this of poor consumer sentiment whoa in it or has a quite high possibility in bringing hong kong internet. they've grove, again in our, for quite a one for quarter to it really depends on where the kaufman will be willing to relax some of the measures and how strong the fiscal stimulus, kennedy, the hong kong government has called the situation critical. and it's not just about the economy the election to pick

a problem for the country and is by no means under control. in the middle class has crumbled to the point where a significant portion has joined the poorer classes this way and that has a tremendous impact. it takes years in years to restore and even the consequences of august will be obvious on a political level, on a social level, on the stability of the country to properly take. so process young, it's an extremely important asset that has been lost. and the key external pataki i tapered you. in the past 2 years alone, 80000 companies have had to close down or leave the country. the corona virus pandemic has plunged tunisia into a deep recession, and many are now hoping to be saved by a rescue package from international donors. just failure now, where a farm has become home to the world's 1st sunflower crop, planted entirely by a drone experiment is now in full bloom,
