and we'll go to mexico where drug cartels are fighting for control of the food business. and it's distribution jane. i'm for cobra. welcome to the program. european leaders have come together in the check capital, prague for the inaugural european political community forum. a meeting where you member states, turkey, britain and other countries have come together to discuss how they can boost to security and economic prosperity. today, the 27 e leaders and attendance are gathering separately for an informal you council meeting. a key topic on the agenda is how to deal with the current energy crisis. several countries have enacted relief packages to help ease the burden on taxpayers . now these packages vary and cost. let's take a look at some of them. now. spain's relief package will cost 27000000000 euros francis package. $45000000000.00 euros and italy will hand out

a total amount of $50000000000.00 euros. germany's package will cost more than the previous $3.00 combined. the reef package will cost taxpayers 200000000000 euros. it does include a one time payment of $300.00 euros and a cap on gas prices for consumers and businesses. well, for more, let's bring in our correspondent nina asa, who has been following the meeting in praga nina. critics say this german aid package would distort the e u market. is that the overwhelming opinion among leaders in prague as well? i know it's not. i mean, this criticism is definitely being voiced here in prague, especially from eastern european countries or the polish prime minister, for example, said that it was unfair, and that the air, germany can't dictate energy policy either. so he's having a good go at had germany at the moment. but them, other than that,

germany argues that other countries are doing similar things as well. austria is on its 3rd financial aid package and you have to keep in mind that of course, those up to 200000000000 euros. they are going to be spent over a period of 3 years. and you rules do allow these things to happen because there is no e u mechanism if you will. the gemini is not acting against the roles. but now the left, of course, germany is a very big player. it is the euro zones, most important country. and most important economy, so anything that germany does economically when it comes to financial aid in particular, of course, is being watched very closely. and there is a chance that a e u countries are taking a possibly dangerous q, were from germany, because financial experts are warning that the debt funded aid package could open the door for less fiscally prudent countries to want to borrow large amounts of money. and then potentially leading to trouble like we've seen in the u. k. well,

of course, every european country at the moment is dealing with the full out from the pandemic, with all the consequences of the lack of energy supplies on the world market and rising energy prices as a consequence. and so of course, everybody is concerned about am angry citizens as well. we don't know how to pay their gas bills or their energy bills. and so people are looking into options of how to get prices down, how to increase also supply of energy, etc. and then you have to also look at how companies are being affected. so that german financial aid package, for example, that doesn't just target consumers. it also targets small and medium sized businesses. because of course, there is a big fear that at the moment the crisis is so big that some companies might just not survive because of those high energy prices. but then your officials argue we do have

a fund that's already available and where the full potential hasn't been tapped yet . that is the fund that was created last year, up to 750000000000 euros worth of money was being put into that fund by anglo michael. the den chancellor and the french president monroe, my call, and that potential there are still 100 or billions of euros that are still available. so no need to take extra loans. nina, briefly, if you, if you're good, why is germany supporting a gas price cap on a domestic level, but is opposing it on an e u level while germany is very concerned about energy security and it argues that so far it hasn't been presented with a model whereby european european countries wouldn't manage to bring gas prices down without the suppliers of gas, not turning away to other buyers that of pay

a higher price. so that is the big topic that is on the agenda here today. how do you get energy prices down? how can european countries, why together as a buyer on the international market, so that price is eventually come down a little bit? how do you cooperate also with countries like japan and korea that are facing similar problems also with high energy prices. and that is definitely being discussed, very controversial. i wouldn't say that germany is completely against it, but it hasn't seen a convincing model yet. d w 's nina has in prague. nina, thank and now to some of the other global business stories making news. pepsi has ordered 100 electric commercial trucks from tesla. the vehicles are advertised with a range of 800 kilometers delivery of the 1st one is expected in december. according to tesla, shares of us canada growers, and sellers surged after us. president biden pardon thousands of simple possession and asked, states to follow suit, chose greater exception of the drug,
