pray sing for a bitter winter with less and less russian natural gas to provide heating. the german government has come up with a plan to reign in consumption and to prioritize the transport of goods required to generate energy hears that plan in detail. this winter may prove to be a perfect storm. reduced imports of russian energy mean more pressure on other supply chains and delivery methods. but to low water levels on major rivers like the rhine mean more and more, cargo is being moved off of ships. as a result, german officials say they will give coal and oil cargo preference over passenger travel on railways. if an energy crunch does materialize this winter, i'm done with i school log. we have created

a legal basis to be able to act quickly when there is a need to prioritize energy shipments. if there is a capacity shortage or a real run on the railways, which or the railways are working at full capacity. and that's why if additional shipments are needed in the energy sector, in the short term prioritization will be necessary. that could mean that passenger trains have to wait a dog and thus has all 3 of ob lucy, delayed trains aren't the only consequence. workers and public buildings will have to layer up when the temperatures drop, because the maximum room temperature will be a mere 19 degrees celsius. and lights and public buildings and for billboards will also have to be turned off between 10 pm. and 6 am. d's in the mos mom, the some of the measures will conserve energy, but not so much that we can sit back and say, that's it. now that they will reduce natural gas consumption by about $2.00 to $2.00 and a half percent. well, so that means we still have

a long way to go long. big phones on by during v. germany uses more russian gas than much of the european union. this winter will be a big test of whether the plans to win the country off of the russian sources are successful or simply hot air staying in germany, one of the video game industry's most important gatherings has opened at stores in cologne. games. com sees industry heavy weights and smaller developers, displaying the latest from their labs for hundreds of thousands of visitors. the sector has been turbocharged in recent years. that's as world wide lockdown flooded . the gaming industry with cash, sending global revenues above 195000000000 dollars last year. that's larger than the global film and music industries combined. our reporter, christie applied and was at games con, here's what she made of the atmosphere there. the 1st day of games. com was very busy with nearly as many women as men attending

a demographic breakdown that reflects the new phase of this industry. one that was traditionally more associated with man. there's many people here this week to get previews and news about upcoming games. you can even test out some of them in the hall next to me. there's a long line of people waiting to test out sonic frontiers from sega, highly anticipated game coming out later this year. there's also a lot of simulation games with a hyper local focus. you can, for example, play as a bus driver in hamburg or a cop on the streets of munich on like many industries, the gaming industry really boomed during the pandemic with many people coming to gaming for the 1st time during the locked down. they seem very excited to be gathered here in person today to discuss their new hobby, despite locked on restrictions being lifted. this industry doesn't seem to be losing momentum at all to the us now r u. s. president joe biden has announced to plan to erase the student debt of more than $40000000.00 americans. the government will cancel up to $10000.00 in student loan debt for americans earning less than $125000.00 annually,

or $250000.00 for married couples. student debt has soared in recent decades as educational costs outpace inflation. for for more i'm joined by a correspondent, teddy austro and new york study. how much of a difference will this plan make economically? well, just add for size. again, the student debt crisis here in the united states were talking about 1.75. really in dollars total and this relief program likely will cut into it quite a bit. we're talking about 20000000 people. about half of all borrowers seeing their debt entirely extinguish a good portion of them seem to have an ever more people seeing it reduced significantly. no overall, what's most interesting is that this is targeting a former lower income people were looking at pell grant recipients, which is a near perfect proxy for lower income borrowers receiving up to $20000.00 of debt

relief. now there was a lot of talk about perhaps student debt relief, giving being a boon to rich households. but that doesn't appear true. certainly good news for a lot of people. but there are some concerns that these measures to forgive student debt, could lead to more inflation or those concerns founded at all. well, to be honest, i am not entirely buying that argument. loan forgiveness, more than anything is contributing to the wealth of households. and that means savings not necessarily spending. now we saw during the pandemic, economic stimuli sending checks to people that contributed mostly to their savings, not to spending. and we know that inflation has been largely driven by supply side supply chain disruptions, not on the demand side. furthermore, debt repayments will resume next year. so if we see debt, every excuse me,

if we see debt inflation go up, then we'll likely see it offset next year. thank you very much. teddy austro there in new york for us angle and voted wednesday in a closer contested election. the governing party m. p l a has been in power for nearly 5 decades, but is now facing serious competition as citizens decry wide spread poverty and corruption in africa. second biggest oil producing country. this is luanda, one of the most expensive capitals in the world. after overtaking nigeria in terms of output angola is now the biggest oil producer in africa. and here around the bay, you can clearly see the oil well spots. angola is the country of stock contrasts even in the area around here you will find children gleaning shoes of wealthy people. the majority of poland still live in poverty and the discontent in society has been on the rice element that comes along the shirt of procedure. while laurent
