at the end of supplies down the north string one pipeline force the german government to rush to find other supplies of energy. a year on the country has broken its reliance on rush just for months after russia's pipeline supply, freeze, german chancellor, olaf saw the wilhelm top and liquefied natural gas terminal terminals, and twins, virtual ended men are built to to keep the gas flowing. ellen gee, tankers are converted into floating terminals at record speed as russia sense and majority of gas to germany. the supply fries caused immense disruption. norway, previously germany 2nd most important gas supplier rose to become the new number one responsible for 42 percent of its supply followed by the netherlands in belgium, which have increased their shares drastically. di you countries like austria and italy continued to be supplied by russia. last year,

russia was still one of the 3 most important gas suppliers to the you, with a share of about 25 percent. similar to norway and elegy gas, which is becoming increasingly important in germany, comes mainly from the us could tar and nigeria. russia's war and ukraine has drastically changed to europe's energy markets. germany has extended a lifetime of coal fired power plants. other european countries want to build new nuclear power plants because of the energy and climate crisis. let's discuss germany is changing energy relationship with russia, with olga tacoma from the global energy center. thanks a lot for being with us. okay, so it's germany's winning itself off of russian got something of the success story of the past year or uh yes or no. so in a lot of ways of the last year and a half over a year and a half had been

a tremendous success story and help quickly. europe in countries like jeremy is able to take that away from russian energy sources. germany, particularly, was a heavily reliant, much higher percentage than other european countries on russian energy in force. in record time, germany has installed a several episode or use some of which are plants to be transformed into permanence of allergy facilities that starting 2026. however, we're only seeing some push back in germany on, you know, whether these elegy facilities are truly needed. do more me to come online. so although, initially germany responded with exceptional speed to the energy crisis. it was on president the how quickly these of us are use, where installed. we're seeing a bit of an issue in terms of finding a permanent solution for the coming from a significant amount of russian pipe gas from the work stream that was coming to

germany in the past. and how to ensure that that is a permanent shift and not just for a couple of years. yeah. because brochure is always going to be on germany and the use doorstep. and it's going to continue to have these massive reserves. so maybe the war isn't gonna last forever. so is there a potential future where actually we start to see a resumption of info, so russian gas in your i don't think we can take anything out of the question and it's really important right now to build out, you know, supply chains, connections across to europe, in enough level supply to permanently shift away from russia. otherwise, you're right. there is a risk of going back to perhaps not a 4045 percent reliance on brushing energy sources. but it's significant enough for lions to wherever us you can still use. will that as an image,

you will live as a, as a way to, for sewage to political priorities. and that is the last thing that you're on need a one way to mitigate that. of course, our long term contracts across. yeah, and we've seen quite a few of those pop up, but there's still some hesitancy on from some european countries on signing on something that's longer than 10 to 15 years. and seeing how the synchronizes with reaching climate goals, no, considering the amount of coal and other heavy carbon of generation across europe, l, n, g, you can actually contribute to both energy security in climate goals. but of course, every country is in a different situation. still, there are some countries that have a long term contracts standing on pipe gas deliveries from russian. now we all know russia stop those deliveries and to blackmail in europe introducing it's

a support for ukraine last year, but nothing is stopping but just from trying to restart it any day. and you know, they've seen that the black mail hasn't worked out. i don't want to read out a scenario where kind of the try the opposite strategy with the chunk floods. the market was really cheap. gas in some countries in europe, might not be able to say no to that to me. taishan from the atlantic, kansas global energy center, the. now let's take a look at some of the other global business stories that are making the news. workers at take years say through department store, have gone on strike mocking the 1st major walk out of the country has seed in decades and 900 employees. one jump guarantees before upon the sale of the company . strikes are extremely rare. india is g d p. agree by 7.8 percent. it's joining the 1st quarter. 20. 23. the fastest pace in a yeah. if it could be time list expectations and suppressed last year's best

quarter credit, which stood up to 6 point one percent. it was driven by the countries service sector and government the capital expenditures by king john gave us says it will cuts $3000.00 swift jobs in order to reduce redundancy. i mean, if that's part on this restructuring plan, after taking of arrival, credit suisse anticipates this decision, will help save $10000000000.00 as opposed to the profit of $129000000000.00 due to a leading chinese. a search engine by do has made china's 1st artificial intelligence chat box code any fully available to the public aging c a i as a key industry, survive with us and aimed to become a global leader by 2030 ton. his alley developers are sticking to competes with western drivers such as microsoft and open a i make a chat, g p t o in cross. now to donna ice from web to push security is

done. you said a tidal wave of ai spending is coming. so who's spending that money and why are they pushing it? a jenna prizes a and i the ultimate consumer franchises. i think we, we weren't using with metal google on the search side of me in my opinion. and this is the most significant tax trend we've seen 30 years similar to the internet. 1995, it's a gold rush. it's a trillion dollars of incremental spend, which is why we are bullish and tax actor. was also interesting says that that countries are also investing or just have to jump these trying to double ex investments now over the next couple of years. who's still in the motion based on this so far as it many companies out in front because we've heard of chat gc to etc . but but, but who's really ahead of the game on this? we're right now. it's microsoft and it'd be the is world. and everyone else has paying rent, i mean, they really own. when you think that the a market book you,

this is it's a 0 sum game. google big tax strong's. gonna get stronger. why the names like mine would be be snowflake. and then of course, what type in china, i mean this is really a global arms race that's happening in my opinion. it all starts with the godfather of a i in the media engines. and, and i think that just speaks to what i view as an unprecedented waiver spend dives from what bush security is that. now the fast growth of ally is not without its problems. one of the issues is how the works of artists can be protected. somebody i systems such as those that generate images, feed of real life, artworks and now the artists want credit for their work. kelly mccarren and makes their living as an artist, selling vibrant paintings like these one big fan of me. karen is work artificial

intelligence, the artist says their work is being used to generate a images. and so i found that my name had been used just last year alone, over 12000 times. which discovering that as a single mom and struggling artist was pretty upsetting to find out that there are these companies profiting off of my name and my work. so i started to do a lot of research find out like how does this even happen? how are they making this happen? why is the still so gross in the fireplace? kiernan is now one of 3 artists looking to protect their copyright by assuming a maker of these kinds of a i, tools, stability a i. tools like this one suck up as much available data as possible in order to train artificial intelligence systems. then anyone can ask it to mimic a style and generate new imagery on command without compensating the makers of the original works. the artist and the suit say it's not just a matter of principle,

but critical to protecting their careers. and the reason why they're able to produce compelling imagery is because the work of some of the best artists in the world is in there. so i'm like, competing with this like weird monster of a 1000000 faces that took my face and took the faces of all my other peers and all my friends and everybody industry. and pretty much every artist on the internet. you can, can pete with that. the ability a, i says, in a court filing that it creates entirely new and unique images that are just similar to the images in the training data. but whether images like these will continue to appear on our screens is now in the hands of a san francisco judge of the amount of the top business story that were following for you this hour. a year ago, russia stopped supplying germany with natural gas by the north street, one pipeline police force the general government to rush to find other supplies of
