our financial correspondent in new york. teddy australia. teddy, how well prepared? ah airlines, in the us for the weekend ahead? well, what is there to say, rob 12300000 people were trying to go on vacation and the u. s. airlines are completely unprepared if we see anything like the cancellations we saw during memorial day weekend. tens of thousands of people could be stranded for a day or more on the way to where they're going. let's remember, there was a 54000000000 dollar bail out of the industry in 2020, and there was a condition not to lay off workers. while these airlines were heavily indebted and they were looking for profits. so they found a loophole. furlow and workers as well as encouraging pilots to go into early retirement. now we have all this demand returning people want to go on vacation, and the airlines are completely unprepared. and can just hope that the worst of it

turns for the future. ok, teddy off, sir. the new york stock exchange for us, thanks very much. that is europe on the cost of a new era of nuclear power. the controversial energy source is getting more support at european union level as the czech republic assumes the e u. cancel presidency. is that say boosting support for atomic energy. the priority of special delivery from russia as the war rages in ukraine. uranium fuel rods are being delivered to the timely nuclear power plant and the czech republic. many lights would go out in the country without the russian uranium fuel rods. nuclear power accounts for 40 percent of the country's energy production . the delivered fuel rods will keep the nuclear reactors running for the next few years. i'm from nuclear energy. it's one of the few energy sources where everything

works just a little bit of model. actually i'm a geologist, i know about it and i have a clear opinion which i mean, we should have built more nuclear power plants long ago. then we would have saved energy today, despite the check republics to nuclear power plant said to moline and duco vonny, our aging both were built during this soviet era. the reactor and duke of arnie is a mix of western control technology and soviet engineering. the nuclear power plant has never reached western safety standards. there were repeated emergency shut downs caused by defective components. meanwhile, the expansion of renewable energies has been prevented and delayed. as that is, the geographical location of our country is not good for wind energy. for example, we don't have a see where the wind blows strongly. ne mama needs only and we don't have much sun,

especially in winter. go be the that's why nuclear energy is so important in our energy mix. the czech republic has never had a significant anti nuclear movement. one of the country's few well known opponents, his career, poland ascii. he's critical of the government's plans to build 2 new nuclear power plants by 2036. when you model that is perceived as a major capacity of the country to master complicated technology like nuclear power . because many people are proud of the fact that the check republican organized the construction of a nuclear power plant. jekyll, i call, it seemed as something positive was names of them, but the capital, the latest you rhenium fuel rods from russia, will keep the check nuclear reactors online for another 3 to 4 years. after that, they will be replaced by western made ones, which will have to be technically adapted. now some of the other global business
