energy miss so worn. it will face an even worse energy twice as next winter without russian gas. this comes off the was 3rd largest gas explores as refused to divert more gas flows from asia to europe. this winter. you just don't have enough volume to bring in to replace the gas for the long term. unless you're saying i'm going to be building huge nuclear plants and going to allow coal, i'm going to burn fuel oils. according to the katara minnes sir, europe does have enough gas to get through this winter, but he also says the block will be hard pressed. once those reserves run out, i'll tease ilya, but throwing co explains what european countries doing to stay warm. the us trying really hard to save its members from soaring gas prices while sticking to the goal of giving up on gas imports from russia. the european commission has just come up
12:06 am
with a set of proposals. they include joint gas purchase, the creation of a liquefied natural gas pricing benchmark, and also default energy solidarity between member states, $1.00 of the lifelines for the e. you could have been long term supply deals for l. g with guitar, one of the world's largest l, g. producers, but the problem is that car has most of its volumes already contracted under such deals with buyers outside europe. recently, chinese ellen g importers have been selling their excess inventory to europe, which has been a relief for brussels, but bay jean has told their energy giants to stop that practice ahead of winter. in february this year, could tar already warn europe of serious consequences if it were to quit gas import from russia. but as we understand, these warnings fell on deaf ears. russia provides
12:07 am
a thing 30 to 40 percent of the supply to europe. there is no single country that can replace that kind of volume. there isn't the capacity to do that from l n g. now the energy crisis has indeed gone so far that you officials are admitting that the blogs, green commitments could be in jeopardy. the risk that there is in this a symmetric consequences of these cries, this is for europe to lose competitiveness. and so our 2 main commitments, 1st on the clean energy transition and 2nd on implementing reforms and investments of next generation you. last week the russian president vladimir pointed out that one of the to north stream to gas pipes remains on damaged. so if you're being buyers want extra russian gas, all they have to do is certify the operation of nord stream to well for now the you
12:08 am
hasn't made a single step in that direction. media versus an rides a solid out of not. it says the countries should blame themselves for the energy prices. as consol has contractual obligations with other consumers. as you might not be so there is no doubt that in the near future, the situation in europe will worsen as no alternative to russian gas has been found . and no agreements have been reached with guitar and gas supplies. guitar has been a priority country approached by europe because of the infrastructure and ketter's proximity to europe. it was necessary to agree on the timing of deliveries between guitar and the you. but the timing did not suit guitar. this is a normal situation. guitar has the right to refuse, because the country has contractual obligations with other consumers. i believe
12:09 am
that the countries should blamed themselves, they did not plan anything. unfortunately, the european union countries stood up against russia and did not want to hear moscow and did not support it against the position of the united states, which tried to put pressure on russia on this issue. therefore, could char or other exporting countries are not responsible for this crisis. the u. s. decision to curb the supply microchips a giant companies may create a less stable world. lots of stock warning from samples fly miss a who responded to news of the super restrictions on technology exports to china. the bite and administration's latest move is a very serious one. i'm sure they have considered it carefully. we do worry that valid national security considerations may trigger further consequences resulting in less economic cooperation, less interdependency, less trust, and possibly ultimately
12:10 am
a less stable world. the earth faces sweeping researches on semiconductors and chip making equipment, exports a china last week. washington, next taiwan home to the world's largest shit, make it a blind by the punitive measures. however, for any nation old corporation to bypass the bomb, they will need to apply for a special license from the us. the chinese government responded to the decision, saying that it will weaken the global economy to fund ginger sandy arbitrarily placing cats for political purposes, the stabilizes, the supply and industrial chains, 2 hats of as and backfires on oneself. and it will only further, we can the already fragile well economy we are somewhere. so supplies are cutting, se, tyson, chinese ship makers in response to new us. x will controls in europe all states, the e u countries may have to shut down production in parts of the ultimate if so, this comes the story. energy prices are crippling. european industries and new cuts
12:11 am
in the availability of semiconductors is set to exasperate supply chain issues. semiconductor micros, if a vital for high and manufacturing and equipment while china has been trying to boost domestic production. it remains heavily dependent on supplies from the world may just producers in the us, south korea and taiwan. ships a use in a vase with computing and weapons manufacturing, and trying to consume more than 3 courses of the semiconductor sold globally. henry wang founder of the center of china and globalization, says the u. s. will meet a wave of criticism from foreign companies are directly affected this kind of a gesture, this kind of policy is sending a really negative messages throughout the world. for protection is for isolation for unilateralism and a familiar branch of the future there. spell that
12:12 am
u. s. has been pretty preaching for all those years and has been leading that force over the years. it's really sad to see this is really happening. and i mean, a lot of those companies pipeline to china for the largest market, but in the war, this is really doesn't make sense. you can imagine, you know, that if i present that, what i found was made in china is only chips. and i'm going to hold as company went in china clinical sense, 6 percent of its troops in china. and i do say this is make sense. so i'm a thing, you know, it's a gesture on the u. s. government, but i hope that we're not really room for us that are so much i'm a really big on me, a lot of the opposition from the business community. i don't think this going this policy as well as part of the can carry that far. no blood and sexy claim for the republican lead in the us house of representatives had to say about for the 8th, you claim should his policy. when the upcoming mid term elections, he says,
12:13 am
abided minnesota has failed to handle his own domestic issues. and the economic crisis is among them. i think people are going to be sitting in a recession and they're not going to write a blank check to ukraine. they just won't do it. and then there's the things, the biden administration is not doing domestically, not doing the border and people begin to weigh that ukraine is important. but at the same time it can't be the only thing they do and it can't be a blank check. yes, media outlets a quick sid analysis of public mccarthy's statement saying that democracy is no longer important to the republicans. while the democrats still hold the majority, the house of representatives. ukraine continued to get financial help from the united states with over $70000000000.00 in aid. already sent. washington plans to transfer another $725000000.00 to keep for security assistance. this comes as a story. inflation is being ignored by the biden's. miss susan with fox news host,
12:14 am
tucker carlson, plenty out the blind spot. i'm not concerned about our economy. i'm concerned about ukraine or. 4 economy strong as hell, really have you looked at markets is not just tycoon. you care that for your retirement account is it's way down. and by the way, day to day, you notice inflation. we have record inflation. and it's not only the usb do those raising concerns of immense, healthy grain. some european economic policymakers are also on high alert over the blogs future they want helping ukraine brings immense financial risk for the blocks is key is possible. default main, drag down the e economy as well. now there's a closer look to projects instead of economy the next year. the latest i am, if you have in department briefing the director of the branch has stated the blocks g, d p is expected to decrease. reaching almost a 0 level in
12:15 am
e u advanced economies and floating at 92 percent in emerging once they've raise your rate will shift to but slightly reducing from current 9 percent and the advanced east countries but increasing in the weaker european economies. that's what blocks talk, economic official, had to say. energy prices have spiked and they are unlikely to return to their pre bore level. soon. this sir, terms of tree chalk has raised firms costs and lead to a cost of living crisis. a complete shut off of remaining rushing gas flows to europe. combined with the cold, venter could result in gas shortages and rationing, giving rise to g d p losses of up to 3 percent in some central and eastern european economies. and yet another bout of inflation across the continent. whiting and more on there says close alive to dr. jacqueline is a professor, equinox, and politics at st. mary's college of california. thanks for joining us here now.
12:16 am
so we've heard the us and europe are facing a recession. ah, if, if not already in one, but how long does this policy like the to be 8 to be sustainable real oh, of certainly weapons aid money to cave. well, in iowa, a lot of economists, myself included as been arguing, we're already in a recession, mild one in the u. s. and it's about to get that much worse here. and i'm not alone in predicting that the more people are jumping on that bandwagon. the 1st quarter of next year will be quite serious. i, especially if the fed keeps raising rate, say at it's a current pace, which it will keep doing. i. so what we're going to have the, a situation of undisputable recession. i in the 1st quarter of next year in question is how serious is it gonna get? and that's gonna generate a much larger deficit. and if you listen to mccarthy,
12:17 am
he's a focusing on that deficit. i. that means that they're going to have to cut social spending, and that raises the question, can they still keep by increasing a spending an on ukraine? you know, u. s. has given a $3000000000.00 a month just for its economy to keep it from collapsing. further, not including the military aid. can they keep doing that and fulfilled their plans to prepare for a china when you know a conflict with china in the future? 3 for 5 years now and cut social spending and not cut defense spending. i don't think they can do all 3 of those. i think what's gonna happen is you're going to clearly see that we're going to have a deficit of those significant proportions next year. and whether they can do that continue that spinning. and i think depends on what happens on the ground in ukraine in the next couple months. if the, you know,
12:18 am
the ukrainian offensive continues is going to be hard for them to say, no, we're gonna cut, you know, our, our largest that we're giving you. but if there are some significant retreats, ah, you know, once russian comes on line with its reserves, and then it's going to be, is here for them to say, look, we're in all the can keep throwing this amount of money in a recession were huge deficits and so forth, i think a lot depends on the politics on the ground in the next couple months, and also how soon and how deep the recession comes in to us. all this look of abilene, although the upcoming mid term now approaching just to 3 weeks away from now. oh, we learning to see different tactics. if the, you know, if the house change his would, regarding ukraine, are both democrats under puppets likely to change them. i mean, you didn't say that the, the recession isn't a play, huge role, but will it play in dates as a day to day politics in the u. s. also?
12:19 am
well, i think pretty clearly republic is he going to take the house and i have been predicting as the senate by one or 2 seats. so they will be in the driver's seat in congress when they come in office in next january. and by then the recession will be, you know, significant i think will be very clear to everybody. and then they're gonna then have to decide with a significant deficit, which will be well over $2000000.00 a year. again. what, what are they gonna cut? i, they can't just cut social programs, which they will, they and i have to decide whether they slow down the preparation for dealing with china and continue the amount of a funding for the war and ukraine, which is significant. or they a balance it out somehow and say, okay, we're going to continue some aid but not at the rate we were giving. but as i just
12:20 am
said, a lot's going to depend on what happens on the ground. if a new crane forces offensive is successful next couple months, it's gonna be hard for them to say, well, we're going to pull the money. but if it's not successful, it'll be easier for them to say, well, we can continue. why we talked about a lot about i've a little bit about the upcoming donations, but i mean, i don't know if he didn't speak in a, on this with the europe also facing an energy crisis. i am still the entity twice his own, a full steel side of the pond also, but are we likely to see i may be i, i know an upheaval or a movement of people fights he again to does he get cold and i'm a musket cold in some parts of america, right? yeah, well the northeast in the north and there will be significant problems there. i know it depends on, you know, look the ide united states has
12:21 am
a glut of oil and gas. it's not as if the u. s. like europe is short of oil and gas is just that the oil companies don't wanna pump more gas and oil because they want to keep the supply tight and they want to keep the price up. they don't want it to fall further by producing more. i mean, a good example is what happened here recently with saudi a, saudi arabia and opec. i said now we were not going to go along with us. we're gonna cut production, my 2000000 barrels. and the, you know, congress made a big deal about it and bite and didn't like it. but did he go to the u. s. oil companies that they produce more? now he released more from the strategic reserve because he was companies won't produce marliss sitting on a massive glove of oil and gas. so it's not quite like like what's going on in, in europe. so i don't see the problem here of discontent and protests over a heating cost and that you will see in europe in the winter. and i did that sort
12:22 am
of follow on that quickly. the buyers on this session has come out and said, basically, no, he's urging the oil companies to prior to, to make, to make available more oil. but he said that he'll only buy at $70.00 a barrel. i is, is the oil companies lightly to listen to him? no, they're not. he's been try. he's been saying that the 9 months now, and they been quietly saying no in the media doesn't pick it up. and then, you know, he goes to saudi arabian begs them, he goes to venezuela and says ok, you can send more to europe. i a release is the strategic petroleum reserve. i, you know, he's, he's doing everything except putting the pressure on us soil companies. so now they're not going to listen to him and it's just a pre mid term election talk when he comes out with some of these, these statements. and they, they need to see how things plan out the next few weeks. dr. jacqueline, ah, pleasure to live here. so thank you so much for joining us here. naughty my
12:23 am
pleasure. ok. movie on how the u. s. is lagging behind russia and china when it comes to hypersonic weapons. that's what officials alex was of admitted during a panel on the martha swanson, boy with young a major pentagon supplier. we have fallen behind russia and especially china. every time we did were games and certain scenarios around the world. we found out that when the united states was facing it had developed hypersonic abilities. if we didn't have that ability, we lost testing is something we're behind on. we're behind china, even even russia for that matter or for the defend itself. and such weapon is also being questioned as a congressional ripple ones and countries radar are, quote, insufficient, the tracking, the russian and chinese missiles. now harvest sort of missiles fly at least 5 times the speed of sound. they can also maneuver, walk, traveling,
12:24 am
so that targets in 2017 russia became the 1st country to feel such weapons deploy in the king joel as a surface missile. mazda is also also includes the avalon guard glide vehicle, carried by intercontinental ballistic missiles. and the con the ship, cruise missiles, the us for is false, is not expected to deploy, hypertonic weapons before next year. at the earliest, the concerns over the hypersonic weapons comes as the annual heritage foundation reports was that u. s. military has become weaker than it was last year. it offers a quote, low assessment of the state of air and naval forces with a slightly higher evaluation on the state of the ground forces. last, despite ever increasing moves you spending in the us, we spoke earlier to scott read a former marine corps and towed an intelligence officer. and he says that the u. s
12:25 am
. military industrial complex try to get more money from washington. it will be hard to increase the speed of development when it comes to hypersonic weapons. united states has spent the last 20 years fighting low intensity conflict in iraq and afghanistan. our focus hasn't been on building weapon systems capable of confronting peer or even near peer opponent. so china, russia, even the rod, you know, now we're trying to play catch up. and you know, if the, the american defense procurement system is not a one that is, are you good at doing the rapid development of weapons it's, it's specializes in dragging things out over the long term that helps to make more money. but congress is a little hesitant because they've been taken for a ride in the past, but he's very same friends contractors, the russians have a very effective air defense, integrated air defense system that can protect against almost anything the united
12:26 am
states can throw at it. um, united states has nothing to protect against the russian hypersonic capability. so it's a, it's advantage russia and, um, you know, in any protracted conflict, even even a short term conflict, the ability to inflict damage on an opponent that can't be reciprocated, tends to indicate who's going to win. when the confrontation, dawn, calling economic clouds. only europe seemed to be reminding politicians of protectionist values for government for the sake of developing trans atlantic ties with washington, france to present a man who macklin has called for e u. economic sovereignty. thank consumers should prefer local calls to foreign ones. justifying such a position, frozen icon apparently referred to the inflation reduction acts introduced by washington earlier this year. the proposed some low inflation in the country
12:27 am
through tax cuts and simulation of green energy. the document also promises support for domestic manufacturers of electric cars like providing tax credits, americans who buy them. this initiative has been slammed via the u as a quote, trans atlantic trade barrier, the contribution rachel laws and things a closer look at my calling role in this new riff between europe and washington. president emmanuel michael has long tried to slip into the battle fatigues a former french president and world war 2 general shot. the girl was known for having turned france into a strong, independent, industrial and nuclear power. your massive public investment. he also prevented france from becoming a vassal of washington by pulling parents out of us, lead nato, and the you create conflict has given michael pretty much every opportunity to play that 2nd coming of because he so aspires to burst. he could have secured peace by
12:28 am
insisting as one of the characters of the minster court that he respect them. he also could have refused to play along with native military encroachment on russia's border and ukraine. and finally, michael could have defended french and european energy and economic interest against washington to push for brussels. the sanction itself to washing, consultant benefit all over ukraine. but instead, michael lou pass every single one of those exit ramps on route to conflict. he acted against everything that god stood for by simply letting washington in brussels lead france around by the nose. and because michael left the courage of the girl to which he so desperately aspires. well, he's never used to throwing down is bray in a peak of rage against what france and you have become. thanks to the very own actions. the americans are buying american and pursuing a very aggressive strategy of state aid. the chinese are closing their market. i
12:29 am
have been pushing for more european sovereignty for 5 years. we cannot be the only area the most virtuous in terms of climate, which considers that there is no european preference. we must wake up, neither the americans nor the chinese will give us such gift. europe must prepare a strong response and move very quickly. a bit late. there pell, don't you think? looks like michael himself is just waking up to the fact that virtue certainly isn't going to pay to bills or keep the lights on. if not, had truly been pushing for european sovereignty and he would have started by securing it at all costs rather than so willingly sacrificing it by hearing the sanctioning of the blocks own energy lifeline. makeovers. now, calling on europe to coffee, washington with a by you style measure for cars. currently he just woke up to the fact that the u. s. is climb back on opportunities for the you to access the u. s. market as
12:30 am
president joe biden's inflation reduction act. now puts americas h b for those of its allies in repatriated, assembly and battery sourcing for electric cars. while incentivizing americans to buy them over foreign alternatives. remember we bought and sat in february of 2021 boat. i'm sending a clear message to the world. america is back. it transatlantic alliance is back. how's that working out for those allies now? ah. so president michael i? yes. vocal as well that of some of this and use i'll take out all t dot com for more international news. we'll be back on the hour. we hope you'll join us then.
