u. k. plays a crucial role here because the u. k. is in this agreement, we contain china agreement, and i've been also blustering about what we're sending our warships into the south china sea. but do you guys also in nato and is going to push a strongly anti russian line. and so it's going to be very difficult, i don't think germany really having the will to fortune you direction. okay. but we've been glenda that assumes that russia really is a branch who to the european union. and i would say it's not, but i mean can, can, can you play that fiction forever? i mean, considering the resources you're going to have to devote to it. i mean, sir. ok, it's still up in the air. what we're going to have the german election, the greens have any kind of real power. i would tend to agree with george ok. but brand certainly doesn't feel that way, italy, spain, and so forth. i mean, it's going to be kind of an internal nature minus us will be the nato members in europe. it's going to be a real interesting squabble. ok, because you end up in a wa

u. k, because people obviously are pointing the finger at breasts. it is that necessarily the case brakes it certainly plays a role. we see driver shortage is everywhere. now we see it in the us. we see it across europe. we see is we have seen it also in the u. k, but we should know that in the past drivers, i mean supply chains are organized in a way that you have cost efficiencies and that you have cost advantages in some parts of europe. for example, of some parts of the world and in the past that was also cheaper labor, cheaper drivers from the se, eastern europe. and now this is not possible anymore because of fractured. but there's other factors as well. for instance, the training that wasn't possible during the call, the time, the training of drivers that has delayed, also educating new drivers. i think quite a lot of people, certainly in places like europe would be surprised that how fragile often the supply chain of supply chains can be. you've mentioned some of the reasons for the fragility. so breaks in the case of the u. k. or, you know,

u. k. because you know, by doing that done on the, on the president biden asked to speak with the president of the republic, and there will be a telephone discussion in the next few days between them to move forward. because what's at stake with this issue with this crisis, as you said, is a strategic one more than a commercial one. what's at stake here is the presence of forces. the balance in the, in the pacific region. we're part of our future relations with china is at stake. poles a close across most of russia, after the 3rd and final day voting and russia's parliamentary elections, $450.00 seats are up for grabs. more than 100000000 people are eligible to vote. united russia, which banks president vladimir putin is expected to retain its majority when its criminal critics were barred from running. after a year of cracked philippine boxing icon. many patio says he will run for president to the 2022 election. patio is now senator. he was dominated by faction of the ruling party. this comes afte

u. k. was one of the biggest defense providers. and they were trying to think of a way for the e, u and u. k to continue to work together. but because of what just happened, it's clear that the u. k is working far more closely with the u. s. and australia. so i think that was kind of reeling from that as well. and today at the account touted europeans endo pacific strategy. all of the questions. all of them were about the new strategic because the u. k. u. s. so it seems that they're picking me that on the international stage when it comes to defense issue. teresa, i do want to dig into some of the pacific stuff in just a moment as plenty to discuss that. but nicholas, i want to bring you in here because we're talking about you political well, not just in terms of finding money to do all of this, but also in terms of spending it on the right things and also dealing with the whole nature issue. so in your mind, nicholas, what's actually holding this hold on there are a couple of things. one of them has been mentioned by both my colleagues already, which is the fear of duplication between the resorts already go into a show. the result

u. k issue. this is a worldwide issue. so it's not just in the u. k, but the reason that the u. k. government is holding back on this is because for the whole reason what they want to do is they want businesses to hire local u. k. british workers. that's what they want them to do. so that's why they're holding back and they're holding back on this. and they also want u. k. well, because to be trained up for these jobs, they don't just want to have a visas extended for those in europe. that's why it's being held up. hillary ford, which of the british american business association. thank you so much for breaking all this down. pleasure. and finally, at an event ahead of the 2021 munich auto show volkswagen an argo a i gave the 1st look at an electric autonomous vehicle, the id buzz. now the van is built around the concept of the iconic v w micro bus. but the vert, this virgin unveiled in munich is covered in high tech centers to bolster itself driving capability. companies say the id buzz will be tested on public roads in munich, as well as a private track in the city, with hopes of being the backbone of volkswagen plans for a c

u. k. this is across the world, so you can't just say, well it's, it's just the u. k. problem because it is and, and in fact, as health care goes compared to european countries anyway, you're better off in the u. k than most other countries. it has been better wrong and don't forget the vaccination process over 90 percent of the u. k. public. what they call double jobs compared to the, the rest of the european union. so it's far more efficient than anywhere else in the, in the european union. so it's very well run and it's far more efficient. nevertheless, there is this backlog and that's why they've levied this tax boys. johnson has said he doesn't want to go into more debt in order to from the n h s national health. so how to the british people, how people you can react when their government says, you know, we more money from taxing in the us. they don't take it to well, well they don't, but i'll show you golf poll has said that over 64 percent of the british public is in favor of this tax. why the n h f actually in the u. k. is considered it sort of like in america, we call it pi m

because to watch it, many your workers who work inside the u. k. left the u. k already far, because it was in the stable but the fuel cases, the problem at the moment. but it's to do with the general public, they are the ones who are causing that issue a shortage of fuel, but it's a shortage of drive. most people simply buying too much fuel and the same goes on. sure. but even the worst sort of jumping. now this person has got to realize that they can get sure no problem as a genuine concern for ki, walk us through, can all get better stations genuine. we need to get fuel to get to the what the government well talking about. and it was almost like the government. and then while the case mobilizes the army to candidates fuel crisis across in mainland europe, the u has decided to keep funding fossil fuel projects until 2027 parent li, going against the box policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. we'll have the details just after the break. ah, i join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport busines

u. k, they're especially vulnerable because the u. k. they rely heavily on gas for home heating. but despite the obvious reliance on the fossil fuel for electricity, the u. k. has some of the lowest amounts of gas storage capability in europe, leaving the market completely exposed to supply crash. so less than one percent of your stored gas is actually held by the u. k, so now the deficit is making the market nervous as we put winter again. and then finally the catalysts to just tip everything could be china. china's demand for gas has been riding steadily up 8.4 percent again this year. so to satisfy the record demand for gas, china's import the gas work, i could just search, i almost 20 percent, meaning that you have fewer shipment traveling to europe from guitar. so as shipments of gas have turned from europe toward china, so the pipeline gas year from russia has failed to make up that shortfall. russia has been slow to deliver the pipe natural gas to the region, which raises a lot of questions on whether this may be a deliberate move to bolster in case we're starting close th
