all the way to baumgarten and then you have north stream sure under the baltic sea bringing us to central europe so there is an abundance of gus supplies coming then the question will be of course how realistic is to have some additional gas. at what price and also politically complex strain whether this will constitute and the risk so also financing will be a huge hurdle because e.b.e. our view european investment bank they made clear that they are not going to fund natural gas projects in the future so there are so many complex issues at hand and i hope that this will be resolved and this pipeline project will go smoothly and don't also forget an example that we had in the past number of projects started in 2002 abundant in 2013 then transformed into turner the lessons that that we learned from such pipelines you can sign all this intergovernmental agreement m. or use and whatever you have but the realisation is very very very difficult you need a very strong lead country in this case i don't see who will be delete country is going to be italy which will be absent in the meeting today s

much smaller boat which is current currently in the in the pacific to the baltic sea this is the reaction let's see so far there are some analysts who predict that the u.s. really do not want this project to be concluded that they really will come up with new things and that this is more than just symbolic acts so this will continue to be of quite some interest this is you. ok many thanks to the journalist and former businessman is my guest appreciated times. and you thank you. in other news cerner their protest against pension reform plans in france becoming live pictures now from the french capital rallies in paris and other cities have also been joined by members of the yellow vest protest movement. in some parts of the capital the process turned violent with police there resorting to tear gas yes people are angry about government plans to hike the retirement age and to unify the pension system on friday the government introduced its bill but said that it was open to alternative ideas the union so carrying on with their strike action over the. phone from his claim that the u.s. is doin

this is some real old sound compensation for the 40 power of north stream 2 in the north in the baltic sea because we do remember that that pipeline project as a result of the latest round of the american sanctions it's construction was paused the americans i can tell you were keen to deal rail turkey stream as well but the real commitment from personally a lot of our approach the entire air to one just showed when partners team up against american pressure this can really lead to success stories and i can tell you that the construction of the direct route for russian national natural gas from russia to turkey it constricts construction began only in what was it more than 2 years ago may 27th it's now fully been complete it consists of 2 lines that are going to serve both turkey and also european countries such as northern macedonia ball garia serbia then it could be extended further wrong too. countries like hungary austria and so on and so forth the 2 lines are each almost 900 kilometers long and the capacity is absolutely amazing together both of these lines could deliver more than 3000

this morning passed of another project which is called nord stream who that is in the north in the baltic sea where remember that was was as a result of the latest round of the american sanctions but i can tell you that in this case with the turkish stream project washington wanted to do a rail that as well however because of the personal commitments by both presidents a lot of merkel and tied very. the one it has shown that when the 2 major leaders in the region team up to withstand this pressure from the u.s. this can lead to success stories and this is exactly what the russian president vladimir putin was talking about at the opening ceremony. the relations between russia into the queue developing in practically spheres despite the difficult situation in the world and efforts by some eggs national plays to prevent the expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries let me just you. live. around the world i guess the flank you've got to be putin and that is what i was talking about to use this opportunity for more than just the opening of the pipeline. guys well let me ju

say that it is a sound compensation for the thorny path of the north's train to pipeline in the baltic sea which is a completely different one but. i can tell you that this project have to be paused because of american sanctions against it but when it comes to turkish string the commitment personally from both of lot of our people and thai verdon showed that when major international leaders team up against u.s. pressure that may lead to success stories and that the construction of this one is complete at least when we talk about the turkish stage the one from. russia. to the shores of turkey the construction began what was it more than 2 years ago in may 27th now it's done and dusted so it has 2 lines one is intended for turkey the other one is intended for european countries such as full garia serbia then it could be extended further wrong a very important project but what's really impressive here is the capacity because actually it could transfer of both these lives more than 13000000000 cubic meters of russian natural gas directly to turkey and then towards europe so this is what we're

in gaza from says it will complete the construction of the pipeline under the baltic sea without the help of foreign companies this would mark a victory of sorts for the us which has imposed sanctions on russia specifically for the purpose of halting this project the north stream to project is already 94 percent complete it will be finished by the russian side the north stream 2 is designed to connect a natural gas pipeline between russia and germany by circumventing ukraine and then tying russia and europe together the us placing sions on any companies in german interest that attempt to help complete the pipeline. the federal reserve will meet this week to discuss fine tuning their control of short term rates now after the fed lost control of the very rate they were mandated to oversee last year the response was just to pump more liquidity into the market to alleviate the conditions they claimed it was a plumbing issue that was temporary and would last no more than a few months well that few months dragged on into a quarter and now into the new year it has now become a semi permanen
