but it will likely take years to clear all the hurdles for e.u.embership. >> nick connolly spoke to us earlier about the targeting of civilian infrastructure. i asked him if moscow was trying to break the morale of the people in ukraine. >> that is certainly the way it is being read here in kyiv. how many people in government circles would tell you. is perhaps less important than the results we have seen civilians lose their lives in a huge scale. it came as a shock in odessa today, nikolaiv. it is clear that russia is not willing to stop hitting targets -- going for targets that it claims are military targets, even if there is a significant riskf civilian loss of life. the rockets they are using now are increasingly old and less precise. some of the rockets used the past week are ones that came into service in the 1970's, that have a huge range, up to 5000 km of some of them, but are notorious for hitting the wrong targets, sometimes getting as far as half a kilometer away from the intended target. lots of them even don't reach their target. that

complete halt of russian gas flows, what would that mean in terms of political solidarity among those e.u. governments? simone: if there is a complete interruption, families, to be clear, will keep seeping the gas -- receiving the gas to heat up their homes. the governments will prioritize a reduction in the industrial demand. the consequence will be more felt at the industrial level, which will have consequences for the economic situation in europe . and of course on inflation, etc. indeed, what you mentioned about the political solidarity between countries is a very crucial element. we know that since the very beginning, the russian strategy has been clear. play with energy in a geopolitical and strategic manner to leverage the different abilities of different countries that have aligned differently on russian energy. what the russians might want to achieve is to divide the european front. is to make gas scarce in europe, so that countries might have the temptation to close down the borders of their energy markets and not trade gas among each other. today, we have seen declarations by t

the whole position of the e.u. and e.u. countries and all of this is laughable. >> laura: it's so great to see you, i hope we have a new leader of the tory party who has your principles on the issue of nationalism and economic nationalism, i hope it happens. speaking of rejection of globalism, we turn now to the netherlands, lincoln jay has spent the day with farmers who are protesting the new demands. what did you see and hear on the ground? >> thanks so much for having me on. i arrived in the netherlands yesterday and so far we have covered a group of farmers that are protesting about an hour and a half outside of amsterdam. the one thing about this movement, there's actually multiple protests happening across the netherlands all for the same cause. there isn't just one big group of protesters, they are kind of scattered through the country. what it is really reminding me of is what we saw in truckers in ottawa. i was embedded in ottawa for the entire month they were there. what i can tell you is it is very similar. this

what do you think of this recommendation from the e.u., to curtail gaseous -- gas usage by 15%? this statement from brussels a couple hours ago. it's significant and a serious matter. we have not received any recent documentation, any written proposal yet. i think it's too serious. the issue is too serious to make a comment after a statement on this. so we're looking forward to receive a written proposal by the commission and then formulate our position. but that's just a statement. it would be unserious to comment on that. >> minister, in getting some remarks coming from your prime minister, there seems to be in your country and correct me if i'm wrong maybe inpatience with the ukrainian war and some of the financial sacrifices all members have made in that regard. is that true? >> look, we're a neighboring country. every minute spent with war in ukraine puts a security risk on our country. security risk when it comes to physical security andeconomics security as well and not to speak about the safe supply of energy. so we hungarians as a neighboring country, we're super intere

got their way and we returned to the e.u. >> thank you, mr. speaker.can i congratulate my friend on his work to tackle regional inequality in this country through his leveling up agenda? and as he rightly reflects with pride this summer on the work of both himself and his government. will he also urge all candidates in this leadership election and all colleagues in this house to further drive forward that leveling up agenda to tackle inequality wherever it is found within this united kingdom? prime minister johnson: i hardly agree with my honorable friend, mr. speaker, and it's not just my right honorable friend, it's not just inequality, inequality of opportunity and that's what levelling up addresses. >> thank you, mr. speaker. very few people in the north of england believe that the leveling up agenda has achieved anything at all. now, the prime minister has a few days left in office. can you use this to drive through the transportation rail system that we were promised would be finished in 2019 and will not be finished before 2030? it's a shambles

jonathan: last week the e.u. came out with this proposal to cut gaseous for the rest of this year, and we talked about potential dissuading of the south and the north. lisa: we have this idea that the european gdp could get cut pretty dramatically if russia cuts prices, especially physical winter. already you are seeing a country pushed back saying "come on, guys, really? do we really have to do this?" it raises questions about longer-term, how they can really build supplies. jonathan: the data is already terrible, let's put it that way. tom, the tensions are pretty clear between a hawkish central bank in some weak economics in america, two. tom: i read a lot about the war over the weekend, a massive case of the war being removed from london, removed from new york. jonathan: lisa, welcome back. lisa: thank you. tom: jon, i think the gloom clicked in around 6:01. there it was. jonathan: when the show started. lisa: at least smiling. tom: it was smiling gloom. jonathan: the forecast on the s&p from new york. this i

. -- 17.4 million people in taking us out of the e.u.?stic as i am about our future as a free and independent nation? pm johnson: i say to my honorable friend that, if anything, i am even more optimistic. i have only one anxiety. we all know that there are people around the world who hope that this will be the end of brexit. i can see them all. did you notice? the labour front bench? that is them. they are wrong, speaker: we will show that they are wrong. speaker: [calls name] >> if the uk truly is a voluntary union of equal nations, there must be a democratic way for any of those member nations to withdraw from it. does the prime minister think that the role of the uk government is to decide whether to respect the mandate given by the people of scotland to their government and endorsed by their parliament? pm johnson: as i continually advise the members of the scottish national party-or nationalist party, i should say-they should look at what is happening to educational standards in scotland, which they are responsible for, instead of en

can the e.u. weather this, and provide this funding?u.s., canada, countries contributing to support the economy. we see a lot of donor support to enable us to take additional risk, because we are as a bank, financing the country now. for that, we share the risk consumer report. it falls from everybody, i think. we need to continue to be like that. maria: do you believe europe will lead this? odile: europe will have a big role to play because of the europe perspective. the country, u.k. -- ukraine is a candidate country to europe, everybody knows that reform will be driven by introspective of e.u. membership. it will also be intensifying support. it's -- it needs to be asserted fourth and two other partners globally, who feel concerned about the government and will participate. maria: when you look at the situation of the country, a final question. you entered this twice, you mentioned word reforms. a lot of the criticism of the ukrainian economy for a while is very much that, by the -- there are problems with moral -- rule of law. do yo
