please welcome eliot schrefer!vor: i am so happy to have you. this is one to have the most fun books i've ever read about science, nature, animals, the human condition. let's jump straight into it. "queer ducks (and other animals)." this seems like a joke. the book is very funny, which is great, butyou're learning about a side of the animal kingdom many haven't talked about. why did you decide to write a book at queer ducks and other animals? >> fair enough. i was surprised by the topic, too. i come from a background of studying evolution and i always assumed that queer behavior was a sort of dead end for animals, that behaviors that wouldn't cause their genes to propagate into their next generation wouldn't spread, yet nature did a study three years ago that put the number at 1500 species and counting that have significant peer researched same-sex sexual behavior in the wild. the question on my mind is why is this happening? and the basic version of the story is we got the story of animal sex wrong. >> trevor: you

eliot gives the example of britain, where inflation will be eight percent per year, and this is actuallyord for the last 40 years. well, all records have already been broken by gasoline prices. well, the editor of the economic department also emphasizes that garden, so that in other countries of the european union where there is more dependence on russian energy sources, the situation will even be worse. well, all of this is really just flowers compared to what developing countries are facing. a country like sri lanka has actually declared default. and this is also a consequence of the war, in fact, by russia in ukraine, and here the situation is also that of david bizliv, the executive director of the educational food program of the panel, who said that now ukrainian grain warehouses are full, while at the same time 44 million people in the whole world are facing hunger, this is unacceptable the situation is yes, putin is really using food, the food program as a weapon. well, it was to be hoped for. well, i will also try to summarize what the editor of economic garden said, and i am not

eliot how did it happen that, in principle, the stronger the embargo sanctions become , the more russiactually earns from the price of auto products, that is, they have the opposite effect to a certain extent. do you not think that is how to deal with this problem in principle? we already know that it concerns 92% of all the oil consumed by the european union, and if according to the documents a-a and the oil that is transported by sea is 2/3 of the oil, that is, one third is the oil that is transported by the oil pipelines, the oil will have to go to poland and germany, they voluntarily said that we will undertake the obligation to fulfill these sanctions, and accordingly there are 7-8 %, which fall mostly on hungary and these two countries , that is, in principle we can say with you that this is a victory in terms of oil sanctions, because 92%. it's really a lot more, let's remember what we said about the fact that the oil embargo is complete most likely it won't be. that it could be bills from the circle, i.e. oil for food exchange. something like the iranian program or that it could

petersburg is our ts eliot patricia as what's up and so far the event and what to expect to happen in the coming days. ah peter, hello to you from russia's northern capital, i am at my favorite events on the calendar and i'm not the only person saying that let me just explain to you what is happening here at a time when pretty much everyone in the west is trying to isolate russia in every possible aspect, the country's government decides to throw a huge event, a huge business gathering. it's called the st. petersburg international economic form, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. and guess what? we can see participants from about 140 countries, and i guess this is something that doesn't really sound like universal isolation. the moto of the forum is new world, new opportunities. and i'm not saying that the russian officials aren't looking at the sanctions as something that's hurting the russian economy. but like the moto has it, the country keeps looking for ways to turn the negative effects from the international blood pressure into benefits. here's how the russian

leaders of france and germany over their phone calls with the russian president vladimir putin as our ts eliot. katrinka explains in response to how the polish president blamed the german and the french leadership for dealing with the russian government. foreign minister surg elaborate accused him of a growing historical ignorance and also pointed at poland own moves against ukraine's sovereignty. my government in which sir through it's perhaps they should be advised to study history. so their own history and those events that underlie polish history. so far, we see that behind the talk about the in admissibility of any dialogue with russia polish colleagues are beginning to actively assimilate ukrainian territory issue. and then le decisions vice president zalinski and the ukranian government on these special rights. all the polls ladies who are essentially being made equal to the ukrainians in everything except the rights to vote russell, just to give you some background a little earlier this week, the polish leader went as far as drawing parallels between vladimir putin and adult hitler. an

so, eliot, mr. attorney, how would this play in a court of law? is it effective to have the person's family, right, and these legal teams essentially saying that giuliani's team was dangerously wrong? if you had the family of the person you were trying to make a case against saying, yeah, he was wrong, i told him, i would have said if i was jared kushner -- if i were him. >> meow. >> the guy who knows everything, a grammatical error. >> look at that don working the proper pronouns and past participles. as fun as it is and entertaining to talk about whether rudy giuliani was apparently intoxicated and jared kushner and all of the above, a lot of these things are distractions. what is relevant is a number of lawyers on the campaign, the private sector outside lawyers and the attorney general and deputy attorney general of the united states had all provided legal advice to the president saying, we think you are wrong, and yet he still decided to push ahead. now, why this is important, if you're talking about fraud statutes or a number of campaign-rel

eliot called the objective correlative. like the visual thing to symbolize an entire philosophy.president said was compelling, but i don't think the republican party, if anything, they are moving in a very different direction. william: jonathan, as david says, chris murphy is currently talking with republican senators and he hints there is some idea of progress. others cautioned that mitch mcconnell has his eye on the midterms and he recognizes what his base voters, as david is describing, what those primary voters care about. and it's guns. he is not going to allow anything to happen. do you havany hope that this set of latest tragedies is going to do anything? jonathan: i always have hope, bui'm a realist. we have been here before. too many times before. the fact that senator murphy is sitting with a bipartisan group of senators and they are talking, that is a good thing. i want him to talk. but i have no faith that they will get to a point where they will have a press conference where they announce, here is our framework, here is our bill, here is our language, here are the it

in order to ensure a smooth transition to public rhetoric yes, methods such as, for example, lari, eliotge number of articles that testify, firstly, that support for the entire ukrainian agenda is falling in the united states of america. what is automatically no one in congress to support? uh, there will be no new deliveries of weapons to ukraine , because there are no reports of previous deliveries, which means, uh, the latest poll showed that the number of americans who support military assistance to ukraine at all, uh. decreased to 46%. it's an election year of 46% - that's a lot less than 60% 2 weeks ago, and the united states, uh, the world's largest energy producer of oil and gas, now has the lowest oil reserves since 1987. that is, they drove themselves into some kind of energy trap, from which they themselves cannot e cannot get out. it 's really amazing, yes and uh, i'm currently exporting liquefied gas. they've caused domestic prices to rise by three times, well, not to mention gas prices, and it's uh hitting the biden administration hard, just ahead of the uh, uh, decisive for
