. >> does your book include barber poles and how barbers were frequently surgeons? >> good question, so the tradition of barber surgeons is quite a bit older than the united states and my book starts really with the united states as a political entity, just a little bit before, so while there have been european settlers on this continent for much longer than that and people on the continent much longer than that, that's sort of where i started this history. so this idea of barber surgeons which were, let me back up a little bit, before surgery was a trained part of, you know, branch of medicine, it was a trade, and not considered a high status trade although very much an essential one and the people who might cut a tumor off your neck, john collins warren, or the people who might pull out a tooth were the same people who might shave you so the barber surgeons, that was part of their trade. this could be something self-taught but in parts of europe also were guilds and treated like other trades. that tradition was waning but not over at the time that my book starts.

another big topic that we mentioned on the agenda barbers is weaning off of russian oil and gas. we've seen that a hungary prime minister, victor, or bon has already said that a full ban on russia is out of the question. we know that the pressure on europe to ban oil and gas from russia is increasing. so how divided our member states on this issue? they are pretty much divided on that issue too, because we've also heard all of schultz, the german chancellor say something very similar to the to organ earlier said, no, we're not ready to do that yet. the consequences for the german economy would be horrible. and so they are talking today about how they can manage to get to europe, but to limit the imports of russian gas by to 3rd, by the end of the year. that of course, is no help to ukraine at the moment or in the coming months. that is just about their own economies. so it's still on the table though, because it seems the mood might change any moment if atrocities and fighting in russia in ukraine gets worse. if russia is starts bombing, even more indiscriminate indiscriminately

meeting of the united nations general assembly this week, jessica, german foreign minister on a linda barber said the following, and i quote, russia's war marks the dawn of a new era. it's a watershed moment, it requires each and every one of us to take a firm and responsible decision and take a side. are we seeing an iron curtain, a new iron curtain go down across europe? take aside? well, this is truly a turning point in german and in european history. what we've seen from this new government, the statements from chancellor shaw, it's last weekend and from minutes to bad book at the un, this shows a complete shift in our entire foreign policy and security policy. what they're not doing is trying to divide europe. on the contrary, this is a call for unity between democratic partners in europe. what russia has done, let me put it like this. no country in europe has no great power, and nato has tried more than germany to maintain those close ties with russia. in fact, germany has been starkly, criticized for months for not taking a harder line. so this is definitely not a cold for a new iron
