the 27 to agree on proposals to lower consumer fuel costs. it should be fairly difficult, but it is very defaulting today or tomorrow to center very soon single to throughout the timing, to work together. you know, to the project is in fact from wilmington for all household families. and for the businesses across the new, one of the most divisive proposals for cutting consumer costs, putting a ceiling on a price of gas does not yet have berlin's backing, despite a number of other countries pushing for it french president emanuel macklin who supports the price kat proposal says he'll have a word with his german counterpart over today we have brought unity between countries and so i and others will be working with travelers short response because it's not good either for germany or for you. look at the terminal isolated itself. chancellor, olaf shalt says, that's hardly the case. we are the biggest supporter, you're paying 26 percent of the budget usually. and we are developing
11:08 pm
a lot of solidarity mechanisms. but he didn't indicate a change of mind on price caps, which hungarian president, victor, or bon is calling economic suicide for his country. the dutch don't like the gas cap concept, either preferring another proposal for countries to buy few altogether. prime minister margareta says this meetings, most likely outcome is a commitment to make further assessments on some options generally agree on things like joint purchase. but latvian prime minister christianity current says both price caps and joint purchases are necessary. now, the war in ukraine is teaching. the dangers also the geopolitical dangers of being dependent upon fossil fuels. so we have to take the lessons and work towards the future. one, this is what we have to do, but it's not clear the leaders oh feel they have to do it at this summit. and our wrestles corresponding jack perez told me more about what options are on the table
11:09 pm
to keep energy prices and check what they're discussing. is this idea of a joint purchasing platform as we had in terry's report. that fellows like his is going to get a bit of a traction there. also talking about a benchmark price for liquefied natural gas. the price of that is being skewed because of the changes in flows between pipelines. ellen g arrives on boats. they're also talking about some pretty technical issues regarding liquidity in the energy market. but the battle royale that we all expected was about the price cap for importing natural gas. and that battle royale is looking like it's really taking shape. they've been talking about this all afternoon. and we expect them to be talking all night and perhaps even into the early hours of tomorrow morning. we know that 15 countries are in favor of the price cap, but significantly, germany and other countries like the netherlands, the countries that are considered to be economically sort of frugal. that they are the ones that are basically sort of putting the brakes on this. and it needs
11:10 pm
support, it needs the countries to come together and it looks like there has some pretty divisive some pretty big bust ups in the council meeting of the leaders here in brussels. will they be able to overcome their differences? what, what can it take? yeah, that's the, that's the big question of the austin, that these kind of summits and among the use 27 countries, it's all horse trading. you know, you give us one thing on this and will concede on another issue, but the reality is, is this energy issue is so fundamental for all of the governments soaring costs. the consumers are, you know, really, really significant all across the european union. and indeed, the world i'm fingers point towards governments to sort this site. now the problem is, is especially for, for germany in this battle. if they are, 9th, this 20000000000, the euro package for their own energy support, which a lot of the other countries feel is unfair within the single market and any sort
11:11 pm
of skewing the mark in favor of germany. so it is gonna be a lot of pressure on chance to shows this summit on this issue. we'll have to wait to see how they can get through this. there's been a lot of bilaterals, a lot of discussions on the slide lines, and they'll be a lot of giving and taking they know that they want to to do something, whether they can get the price cap over the line. they're not sure whether they're leaving happened at this summit though. now that you talk about discussion thing in place, on the sideline, the leaders of germany and france were very much at the heart of this debate, spoke face to face to day. after all, that friction emerged earlier at what do we know about this meeting? this is exactly it. i think this is one of the, the crux is of this matter because the franco german access in the european union, especially since breaks it has been so fundamental in the 2 countries are on diametrically opposed sides of this macro. once the french president mccomb wants the cap shots, doesn't want it. and i had
11:12 pm
a meeting on the sidelines. the eliza palace released a statement saying that they encouraged french and german ministers to keep on talking with each other. so the next german franco german covenant meeting will be the most ambitious of substantial possible. they talked about energy, they talked about defense. they were meant the to lead is to have a summit next week together just, you know, a big meeting, the 2 of them. but that now has been postponed because of the divisions on this issue. the stuff to get, i have to wait and see whether they can i and any of those out in the big forum of the 27 need is here in brussels today. exciting time in bravo, thank you for breaking it all down for us. jack barrick, while energy was being discussed and brussels to day was a dark day for many ukrainians as the public heeded a call from the government to switch off electricity until 11 pm. the measure is in response to russia's widening attacks against energy facilities which have cost outages. in many areas, national grid operators as the curve is limited to thursday,
