mentioned that he said there's a clear escalation or by russia, but how exactly as needs are to counter that. well we have already seen that individual and that that l. i s a have reacted individually. oh, for instance, great britain and, and i believe you as, as well, they have for impose to new sanctions against russia. during his press conference however, he installed them back has not presented any new measures, stared nato as alliance is ready to take. however, he stressed her that her ad as illegal annexation does not change the nature of the conflict of the war. threats, inc, that nato is ready to continue supporting q crane is ready to continue helping ukraine when this war. now ukraine, as it transpired today, is applying for phosphoric membership of nato. what it stored burg say about that.

well we have to say that with regards to that issue, he was non committal. he stressed what he has been saying from the beginning of the war at that and natal maintains its open door policy that every country can choose its alliances. however, he also said that there is a clear application process here that there are a certain criteria that sir, and needs to be met, that are all elyse and needs to approve such a membership. it all at 30 las and her dad was quieter. i would say an aunt and non committal with regards to that question. so no real change here to abuse brussels bureau chief or some of phenomena nato headquarters. thank you. like summer rushes born ukraine has contributed significantly to soaring gas prices in europe and handed energy companies record profits. today,

european union energy ministers have agreed to introduce new windfall taxes on those earnings in a meeting in brussels, the u. member states agree to impose extra levies on power producers. european companies will have to return a share of day says profits, c, p rising energy costs have contributed to inflation, which has now reached a record high of 10 percent across the whole. euro's own foot into legal annexation, or for ukrainian regions is also a topic and brussels today. our correspondence dec paragraph told us what the you have to say. so we had a statement immediately at the same time as to tim was speaking. basically gerhard, clearly condemning the annexation of the full regions. it was a prepared statement. i think they knew what he was gonna say. there is one interesting aspect in it, and that's what they say, that seeking to seeking to falsely present ukraine's territory. as rushes may now

be taking place on a and reporting that the war may not be taking place on russia's territory will not shake or resolve. this is saying essentially that they will continue backing the ukrainians right. to continue fighting the conflict in that dumbass region. russia of the scene, i consider that to be russian territory and that could really inflame this conflict a thing. and back to the energy talks there, a cap on profits and extra levies for electricity produces forage of decisions. railey, what else can you tell us? yeah, pretty major decisions. i think the human is, will be pretty pleased that they've managed to do this. firstly, they've agreed a 5 percent reduction in the peak time usage of electricity. the idea is to use less electricity at peak time, and demand comes down and prices can follow. and as you say as well, they've agreed, a price cap on the profits of energy companies that us seeing soaring profits due

to gas and oil prices rising companies that produce things like wind and solar and nuclear, their production costs have not risen at all in this crisis, but the price that they're able to sell the electricity afford has gone up massively. now they'll only be able to, to get revenues of a $180.00 euros per mega kilowatt hour. i'm in real terms. that just means that a lot of the money that they're gonna, that they're going to be earning that will be siphoned back into the system taken off as attacks into governments that will then be redistributed to try and bring the price of electricity down for consumers across the european union could of your correspondent jack paragraph reporting from brussels. thank you, jack. an army mutiny may be underway within booking of fossils. military leadership, explosions and heavy gunfire have been reported near the presidential palace stay tv went off air briefly. following the reported blasts, roads in the capital,
