8:04 am
a valuable commodity, vanishing into sin air. while the rest of europe struggles with shortages of natural gas, russia seems to have too much of it. analysts have taken special interest in this russian gas terminal located in port to via bay near the finished russian border. the north $31.00 gas pipeline to germany, starts in port to via and a new ellen g plant has been built at the site. satellite data collected by a norwegian energy consultancy suggests that the so called flaring of gases taking place here at unusual levels. and we've observed that russia has been wearing ever since july 11th of mid july. which coincides with the maintenance that occurred or began on our streamline. but interestingly, flaring actually continued despite the operations being resumed. women are extreme one. back in late july, russia has reduced gas exports to europe, leaving it with
8:05 am
a large surplus of gas. that could be one explanation for the burn off. experts said at western sanctions could also be to blame. they say flaring might be a sign of russia lacking the proper equipment to operate the facility bearing does come out of class, but both economically and environmentally. and there's a loss associated with wearing, obviously, because you're burning off those valuable products that could otherwise be sold. so i would say flaring isn't, you know, it is only done if necessary. and that's why we've seen widespread, minimize glaring over the years. but i would say it's if russians doing this, it's possibly due to, you know, geo politics. but it could also very much be technical issues and possibly even safety issues from russian energy company. gas problem has not commented on the burning off of gas at the port to via facility. the u has accused russia using gas

8:07 am
that's what we that's what we are hearing. um. the problem is that we don't really know what the things look like at the power plant itself. except for some use that to reach the ukrainian atomic energy authority via some people inside the plant who might contact people they know a former or their, their, their superiors who are at the ukrainian side. but we don't have the full picture. what we understand is that things are quite chaotic in parts of the plan that a lot of military equipment is stationed there and that shelling has been going on for several days, even weeks now and all. thus, this of course enhances the risk of some accident and that site quite chaotic. and what are the prospects of inspectors from the international atomic energy agency soon getting access to the plant. but it seems that there has been

8:09 am
the biggest nuclear power plant in europe, and it is a crucial supplier of ukrainian energy. however, ukraine has 3 more atomic energy stations, and ukraine has been, has had an electricity surplus. it has been exporting electricity. the ukrainian grid is connected to the european grids. so in the case that this power plant, which is also operate already operating and not at full capacity there to reactors, out of 6 are working right now that these 2 reactors would be shut down there would probably would, there would be shortages, certainly in some areas of ukraine, those areas that are supplied by this power plant directly. but there would be possibilities to import electricity by the same channels where ukraine has been exporting energy before that said the ts. burlingame, many, many thanks. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour. pakistan's,
