[indiscernible] so lng has to go a longer route, later than when it is needed, and that drives the prices up. finally, as we just heard, supply outages at some production plants are continuing to limit supply in the second half of last year. alix: there were a ton of analysts all upgrading their lng prices due to this rally. if we wind up seeing warmer weat

come to the streets in the way that you've seen people come the streets in ukraine or in eastern europe earlier in the ninety's or in you maybe even belarus ok but the question is going to be is does that younger generation now come out and i think it was interesting 2 things about the protests on saturday one was the numbers that you cited 100 cities all across russia that's pretty widespread the 2nd issue i thought was kind of interesting is that when you watch the protest the protesters were pushing back in . in the past if you at least as i've watched russian protest the protesters are real it's really docile i mean they don't really push back against the authorities in the way that i think we saw happening on saturday and that might be of concern to russian security services ok very important points down it is up next 1st of all they have let me put in his controls power in russia for 2 decades but his leadership has become increasingly authoritarian and now for the 1st time there appears to be a real challenge of to his dominance. he is the pop star of the russian opposition aleks

so i think europe still has a draw it may not have the gloss that it did say 15 or 20 years ago and the question is going to be in a place like russia where i think you're right there is this clash of values do younger russians say no we still want the values of europe and then how does that work out internally with russia and i think that the problem russia has is i think russia would. there's a segment the russian population and i think this might include of many people in common who would like to join europe but on russian terms and i'm not sure that europe is prepared to accept russian values and i think that's the clash of my point with the use of europe have changed you might disagree but it's also true that the west to become somehow militant also in the wars a lot of work with many russians in the people a sense you know has the west would just say yes but it's all king about uncle america has germany it's been hardly be described as a fat us new liberal society we can we can talk of germany is probably the. best model for a liberal democracy in the world is as i'm saying th

life will get more difficult, more expensive, more cumbersome dealing with europe.ted new year celebrations across the uk last night and while coronavirus continues for now to shut down much of society, this change brought by brexit may well become more apparent in the months ahead. this was the reaction of some people on the streets of brussels to the uk's departure. it is a shame — a big shame — that it had to go down like that. i think so, too. i think that it is absolutely nonsense that they go away from europe. i kind of feel sad about it. yeah, i do not know what they are doing, what our relationship is going to be in the future so how we can go to england, you know, because i simply would need a passport now. yeah, it's a bit of a shame that we will not be able to travel or go to england as easily as we could have done before. i think it isjust a shame, really, because it was so easy to go, to exchange, with all the people there. i respect the british people's decision but at the same time, i think it is a pity. most eu leaders believe the european union — an

has the potential to deliver all of this better than europe? this europe versus u.s.rison at the moment, much was made of europe's hamiltonian moments. the next generation funds and this will be spent on a green revolution. when it comes down to it countries like italy had a very poor record of spending large amounts of money. the italian government is potentially about to fall apart over this very issue. do you think the u.s. has a greater capacity, a greater bureaucratic capacity to spend money? do you think the united states has a better capacity than europe? adam: the reality is hidden in the political system. they're hoping for a stable government. what money they get from europe. i 50 answer unfortunately still lives with emmanuel macron and angela merkel's successor. how it gets dispersed in gets viewed. maybe they will hold off. how that will be politically and financially. i think the u.s. will potentially outshine europe. i will come back with two points, even if you are behind here, it is still a better place that is smaller than it would've been without th

a similar suggestion is in europe.n europe, we will be able to provide way more in the second quarter as a result not only of this, but other measures. so it is a great thing for everyone we are doing so, and i think it would be critical if we can use those instead of throwing one, when a vaccine can save lives right now. john: just one particular thing on that, on the issue of if you need an extra dose, does that mean you also need more kits with it? does that mean you need more syringes and that? jonathan: that is john micklethwait of bloomberg news alongside the pfizer ceo. much more on that throughout the day on bloomberg tv and bloomberg radio. this is "bloomberg surveillance ." alongside tom keene and lisa abramowicz, i'm jonathan ferro. already in 2021, just a series of reality checks about the year still to come. so much hope about the back half of this year, and all of a stud and you start to recognize we are not going to get the global secret has growth story, at least not as soon as we might have liked it wi
