a method he how it welcome. we started brussels way in the last couple of hours. a u energy ministers have agreed to cap natural gas prices. the agreement comes after weeks of haggling of a ways to rein in europe. soaring, energy prices use biggest economy germany had previously blocked. if it's to limit natural gas prices, feeling the move could disrupt supplies on global markets. report say the gas cap is fit to come into effect. in february or early a day, w. brussels correspond terry schultz. she had her 1st impressions of the deal. thank you. as you say is very fresh and ministers have gone back into more discussions, larger discussions that were also taking place today. but the agreement that was

the most controversial, the one that has held up this deal for weeks if not months, is that they have now agreed that the price cap will be set at $180.00 euros per megawatt hour. if the price of gas goes up to that price, $180.00 euros for 3 days straight on on the benchmark market, then the price cap will go into effect. and this of course had been initially proposed by the commission to be some 100 euro's more than that. and that wasn't acceptable to countries who said, that's not a price cap at all. that doesn't help us. so now this amount, $180.00 euro's was just agreed in the last hours through. this is as you say, long being a debated issue without agreement. what made the difference or who made the difference this time? well, you know, they were not able to come to complete consensus on this unanimity. there is one country which was, it was not named. i suspect it was, it was hungry that did not agree. in the end, germany,

which had been very reluctant to take this decision, did come along and that was because they agreed to put in place a number of safeguard mechanisms there. calling that, you know, germany and several other countries had been worried that if you initiate this price, kept them producers will go elsewhere and then you're causing other problems. you haven't really solved your energy crisis. you may be lowering prices, but you'll have a supply problem. and so they've, they're now put safeguards in place that would say that the mechanism could be suspended once it's initiated. if the market responded badly, if they found that they could not provide supplies that consumers need and that seem to be enough to bring along germany and the netherlands and some of the other countries that were reluctant to please turn schultz in brussels on the latest on a cap to you just process. thanks so much. russia's president putin has arrived in minsk for talks with belly mercy and later, alexander lucas shanker. it's prudence 1st visit to russia's knife and close ally
