it's an equality for all should be non negotiable, but at times it felt like values were up for sale to the highest bidder, and often left players in unfair positions in katara, i felt safe to walk around alone as a woman, a sentiment that was echoed by many female football fans i spoke to who got to experience stadiums for the 1st time in their lives without fear. even though there were many negative to me, there were also so many positives, both on and off the pitch. and most importantly, football still has the power to trance and language and culture and bring people together with that you're up to date, business news is up next, like so much for with the breeze. ah, they have body and soul. the houses that daniel leaders can construct for more than just building. ah,

you have to be radical. that's a radical me go back to the room. use the son of jewish holocaust survivors. lucky that i was able to build your shoes in berlin is architecture is a celebration of democracy in one building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of an architect of emotions. it starts december 25th on d w with ah, a major milestone in germany's attempt to end its reliance on russian gas. a huge ship carrying liquefied natural gas arrived at the port of villains, half and on the north sea, where the country in the grips of a cold snap, we ask how long will supplies last?

overcome me up as energy bill saw families in a sonia are clubbing together to make ends meet and how a canal poland built to allow ships to avoid russian waters is turning into a tourist attraction. this is dw business. i'm kate ferguson. thanks for joining me . germany is one step closer to ending its reliance on russian gas after a huge ship containing liquefied natural gas arrived at the port of bill hens, half and on the north sea. it's a key part of the infrastructure that will allow the processing of the fuel to take place. germany is counting on l. n. g as an alternative to the natural gas and used to receive via pipeline from russia. with the ship's name hug, esperanza alludes to hope this ellen g floating terminal is expected to supply 6 per cent of germany's annual gas consumption. that's big,

given the countries dire need for alternatives to russian energy exports. i'm in a few months with managed to establish germany's 1st liquefied gas terminal. it's a process that otherwise takes 5 to 6 years, and we're not. and the terminal will convert liquefied natural gas into gas and also serve as a storage facility. meanwhile, russia is looking to other partners to replace buyers in the u. where's them show them just using an important step to reduce the impact of sanctions and other holstein actions against russia? will be the developmental port and pipeline infrastructure in the south and east, including increasing the export of natural gas. then russia is looking east and south, while the west turns elsewhere. you put the new terminal marks in milestone for germany in finding alternatives to russian energy. and it's assigned to you and russia are drifting further apart. for more we can talk to energy expert heading

cloister and having how significant is the terminal odd for hans hofmann in germany that tend to end up dependence on rushing off. thank you. it's very significant. i mean, you heard that it doesn't replace all of the rough and gas, but it is one of the free terminals that we got gave to him that will becoming online in germany when the next couple weeks. so this matter, if on top of that you take into account the german gas consumption is, is, has been reduced people and this is become more aware. this is a huge step. and on top of that, there are similar across europe which have helped jimmy this year. to import natural gas from navy, like belgium brands, the netherlands, to reduce his work and dependency. in fact, that brand expert as friends with is just arrived is carrying spain. so it's a matter, stephanie, the remark, the treatment of your firm just showed it happen in a few months,

which normally takes about half a day as you mentioned, spain to start, but who else will be supplying germany's l. n g. and couldn't this lead to other problems of energy dependence of was the case with russia? yeah, for sure. in fact, the gas to mention from spain was initially imported from elsewhere, most of the island gee that germany will be receiving through the terminals with this one. and the other ones that are coming will be from the united states, but also coming from canada and pretty much any, any supply around the world that has capacity to send to germany. that will mean prices will remain high. and there is, of course, a dependency emerging here on a ship market. the germany product prior to this class is didn't have. but of course, in this situation that you can choose, this is a necessity now. and then you created a new reality, but it's again, it's been a few months now, but it's a lot of money and for sure, it isn't really cold in germany right now. there's been some warning that the

country is using up. it's ga storage too fast. is that a legitimate concern? it is gold, it's even cold here in the u. k. so it is a bit of a concern, but for this to become a major problem for germany, france, it would have to stay pretty much cold as it is now. so around minus 10 degrees centigrade for the rest of winter, that is until march next year. if that happens, then the german storage will be depleted to a level that the grid agency, the ones that they're going to will have to intervene, the likelihood mid roll. it just fell as an extremely low that they so cold for the next 2 and a half months. it's much more likely that even if it fails, read, stays relatively cold, that a few miles a day allowed to just to not be withdrawn at current pace. so i remain positively of course, be optimistic that then the visual image is in germany can be bought at the window . i'll take cautious, optimism, having voice done. thank you so much. thank you to estonia now where people are

struggling with a full blown cost of living crisis. inflation has had 20 percent with many families and pensioners struggling to pay their bills in the capital. talent help is available through a special initiative for seniors. one, making omelets as a family activity for the tins in the past. they would also order in but hard times . mean they can't do that any more. mi latino, who for normal breakfast, we need a box of 10 eggs for the whole family. not look at them, prices are up significantly on the list. prices in estonia have quadrupled and wages here are considerably lower than in other parts of europe, such as germany. marya works half time at the university and helene. she earns $850.00 euros a month. her husband, as a freelance photographer,

adobe. i'm really impressed. i only knew the canal from tv and found the whole thing. pretty absurd. now i'm standing here and i'm pretty proud of it. late then, bonds. now me so. yes, them very good. why should we pay anything to the russians? now we are independent of them here though chief wish. the region is hoping the can now will bring an economic boost at the port in l. blog. goods, mainly construction materials are loaded. most i headed to the russian enclave, colon and grad. but the new canal gives colon more options, and there are plans to deepen the waterway that will link the region to international trade routes besides all there. but the navigation conditions on the water will have as well shorten or to access to the voltage. for felicia stark didn't call a portal ok talking to dive in. more and more. investors are expressing interest to

have operations. here. the new container terminal is to be built. this canal gives poland direct access to the baltic sea, isolating it more from russia as the rift between the e. u and moscow deepens. and a reminder of the top business story we're following for you, this, our germany is one step closer to ending its reliance on russian gas after a huge ship containing l. m. g arrived at the force of thanks. toronto is the end of the pandemic in site. we show what it could look like. return in the normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult.
