financial correspond. correspondence. he also in new york teddy, this just seems a little bizarre. can you explain to me what this accusation of woken is actually referred to in the context? certainly pretty bizarre, given that woke. well, it's original meaning coming from african american vernacular, just means awareness or consciousness of social and racial justice issues. but in recent years we've been conservative republicans use it to derive anything that has a width of progressive change. now in this case, we are seeing a number of elected officials and otherwise use it to derive financial institutions such as black rock, other businesses that limit investment in any way to the oil and gas industry that includes offering products of yes, g environmental, social governance standards and of course, there's an irony here, given that black rock is heavily invested in fossil fuel industries,
8:19 am
there certainly is a little bit of an irony there. and there is a lot of movement towards more values driven investment, teddy. but this intervention by state, this seems new and different. why did you see this trend going? it's certainly become a trend and i would say that we're going to see more of it perhaps on other issues . we saw louisiana make a similar move earlier this month, pull out $800000000.00. and we've also seen a number of states republican elected officials enact laws or proposed laws in florida, texas, west virginia, oklahoma, to limit or punish, or band companies, financial services and businesses that seek to limit any investment or lending or what have you on the oil. and gas industry, and of course, black rock is getting a beating from the left as well for being invested in oil and gas in the 1st place

a 2nd mode of energy transport to europe and would help the continent achieve energy security. turkish president, rash of type r one says his country has inked an agreement with russia to establish a natural gas hub in turkey. the scheme would enable more russian gas to reach europe through the turk stream gas pipeline running under the black sea. the plant, apparently in the worked for years, was a nurse at a time when russian got supplies to germany via the nor to 3 pipeline on the baltic . sea have been halted. turkish and russian energy authorities are reportedly planning to establish a golf. just be sure, center with a probable location of turkey border with greece and bulgaria. to unpack lot all of this means let's talk to our correspondent in turkey. dorian jones, dorian, what exactly is this plan golf hub? what would even happen there? well, there's a big mystery about there's no one really knows quite what the details. why and
8:22 am
details are an impact on cro also appears to be in the dark. they were quite surprised by this announcement by russia old turning turkey into it got up, and it's still unclear what and how this guy helped the proposal actually work. well though, alexi miller, the head of guests from the russian guest provided last week speaking, march, and stay tv. they keep some flesh to the power and proposal whereby apparel pipeline movie built next to took stream, which is the main provider of brushing gas for turkey. and he said that with double the capacity of the delivery got to turkey from 30 to 60000000000 cubic meters a year. now that is quite, that is only a 3rd of what the 2 no stream pipelines that we're supplying europe was supplying. but it's still a substantial amount, and if it was to occur, well those a big project is one of the deepest on the water pipelines in the world. it would still make turkey a considerably bigger supply of got to the region. but this one would essentially
8:23 am
say russian goth reaching europe via the black sea instead of the baltic sea note europe at the same time was trying to win itself all russian energy. what difference would this new route make? well, that has to be a big question. although people are asking, given the fact that this proposed new pipeline that would be billed, would take at least a year, possibly even longer. and that's in the, at the time when europe is desperate effort to reduce its dependency and to bring an end to russian energy supply to, to europe. but by the time this pipeline would come on stream, who would be actually buying this rushing gas remains very unclear. and i think that is, i think, a lot of skepticism about what this project is and if it is really viable economically, or even a realistic. and dorian place, if you can, this is an economic decision for president recipe by doing this. yes, well it is seen as an unimportant economic to you to one,
8:24 am
although it does come across plan. so if he had in mind that turkey would provide the alternative supply of gas to europe for possibly iran and iraq and other other countries in the region as your book, brutal turn to supply from russia. so this scheme does it seem to undermine that, but the same time one needs to work with russia. he's looking for a reduced cup price deal of gas full turkey this winter and also deferment of payments for that gap until often next year's election, which is seen as crucial in terms of avoiding a possible balance of payments crisis. so that's one in many ways is dependent on puting in many ways. and that is why he seems to be going along with his projects, tori jones and assemble. thank you so much. and finally, netflix as attempt to win back customers appears to be working thanks largely to a new ad supported option. the streaming platform fined up nearly 2500000 new subscribers in the 3rd quarter. that's almost twice as much as investors had
