is europe willing to offer a better deal on china? look, i think it's the point is that the relationship between european africa should be unique. you know, it has nothing to do whatever china is doing in africa. you might know what your needs are because in a partnership or in any relationship, even between 2 human beings, it's about mutual need as well. so what does you want to get out of this relationship? why does you even need to have a serious relationship with africa? and this is based on that, that relationship wilt because we don't need the same things as china or russia and, but we can have a mutual partnership where it is a win win situation for both african countries and european countries. you're graphically, we're also quite close. we speak the same languages as well for english. so i believe that this is where we need to stop because utilize has an approach and a mindset, but these of the 16th. so we need to travel inside and come in this in this century . so we've this mindset you'd be starting somewhere where everythi

i mean, across europe, people are feeling the effects — across europe, across the world! of the highest petrol prices in — that we have ever seen in the uk. gas prices are spiking — i mean, an extraordinary increase in gas — i mean, let me give you the figures because they are so striking. a year ago in the uk, we were paying 40p a therm — that is about 50 us cents a therm. now, we are paying £2.75 — that is $3.70 and therm! that is $3.70 a therm! what an increase! and it's creating a huge, you know, political crisis here in britain because the cost of living is rising so dramatically. and even in washington — of course, joe biden is under a lot of pressure over gas prices, over the price people play on the forecourts at their gas stations — what in the uk we would call �*petrol�* but historically petrol and diesel and the other fuels, they refer to as �*gas' — but the whole point is that that money problem is an international problem now, isn't it? and anything of this kind that affects a big supplier of energy is going to have an impact — so much for climate change argu

and in europe itself, united in whatever actions taken against russia, better loan, the us, and europe on the same page. no, no, we haven't seen my student and unity, and there is, 1st of all that a lot of divisions in europe itself because the various countries within europe have different degrees of size. is russia economic science of some country, so much stronger. for example, germany has traditionally build these high dependence on russia, russian hydrocarbon supplies. so yes, there is become fee that the u. s. and a europe pound the same page. and what is that? as well as all the uncertainty doing, you know, to markets, how have they been reacting? what is the sort of, you know, not i will say pre war, but the anticipation the uncertainty doing to market sentiment. you, as i said, the fear itself is already affecting the market and here. well, 1st of all, the russia markets going to be 2.21, and in the last few weeks away. but i want to to see here, best of the last few days, actually this situation has come down. and these happened after russia reacted in a relatively mild fashi

now we push it out of europe. american hegemony, a maintain, and germany was always the wild card there because it's the power house of europe. it's the economic powerhouse of europe. and you have to make sure the germans cannot make amends. make a work with the russians. this is what the atlantis is. we hate the most and they're winning their winning right now. and the 2nd caveat that i have here, china, how does this play into it? go ahead, done by. well, and i said before, you've got, you know, multiple dimensions to this one is the geopolitical, obviously, the commercial, the, you know, the mercantile this is a very important driver of, of these policies. and you've got a market in europe. first of all, where for 3540 years you've had, you know, broader and deeper austerity imposed on workers and even the middle class or what remains from it. an energy cost soaring before this crisis. so to cold and anticipating that there would be this natural gas supply through north north stream to now that dries up, what y

we have seen that europe is being bought. we haven't seen that in a long time. and it begs a lot of questions. if we think back as the former yugoslav, worse european has said, this is the hour of europe and has failed to keep their promise off. you repeat the curity and your opinion piece on the continent then without, without american health. now we're seeing that we have insurance on both sides of the nic, and that we have now to ation in which europe is being bomb. and more is likely to come in from the western side. we're seeing only discussions about sanctions and how hard they should be. you later. thank you, eula. yo ya, european security analyst, stamina chancellor. ola sholtes has joined world leaders in condemning russia's invasion of ukraine. he gave this statement a little earlier. got it a little ridiculous. we've just seen the beginning of the war at all times. we haven't witnessed in europe for the last 25 years as we didn't do a russian. so president putin has decided to attack doesn't ukraine in military terms? that's an attack on an independen

to put europe under pressure for europe would eventually tend to liquid gas from other countries. understood if liquid gas or l n g is the solution . there are a few of these potential suppliers, most notably the u. s. and the state of qatar, while neither could fill the short full of so much gas, immediately one analyst told me, qatar might be able to provide a more medium and long term solution. the categories indeed, did supply europe with a lot more gas in the past. but given the fact that the europeans were not very fond of the way that the contracts were structured, katara tended to asia and now supplies from most of the gas to them rather than the europeans should the be some se reconsideration on the european end. when it comes to the contractual elements and their compatibility with european energy law, then that this might actually change the situation. and he's in a medium to long term. from the geopolitical perspective, there are increasingly loud voices in western europe who don't want to be so dependent on russia for their energy supply shit in full. betty lecount as

winslow, europe. it is. ah, what intervals foundation and only if we understand that will we be able to tackle the challenges facing us? and this brings me to my final point. the 5th one pollutants war means a break for our foreign policy as well. diploma as much diplomacy as possible without being naive. this aspiration remains or not being naive, however also means not speaking just for the sake of doing it. for a true dialogue, there needs to be a willingness on both sides. and there is no willingness on foot and side, and it's not just been the last few weeks and days that this is been the case. as well as those who did you. and what does this mean for the future reynolds persuasion with also provide we will not refuse to speak to russia. not even in this extreme situation remains the job of politicians to keep diplomatic challenges at channels open. anything else would be irresponsible wanted? i'm with her ladies. and gentlemen, listen for a view, i'm sure we know what we support in iowa based on our ow

europe needs fuel cells.hink it would be political suicide if they would put sanctions on russian oil. it will cause them a massive spiral and more inflation. tom: you are a pro at this and a joy across economies, always come back to the discussion of oil. an amateur like me, when we say to you can the u.s. come to the rescue? can we move ships across the a lansing to bring hydrocarbons to europe? how do you respond to such foolishness? kona: no. just on a freight it basically would not work. the u.s. had been enjoying almost self-sufficient when it came to imports, but production is plateauing. if anything, they have to tap into their own oil reserves and strategic reserves. so the u.s. cannot come to the rescue. for gas, you have the likes of qatar that might help them but for crude, opec themselves are sitting on not too much spare capacity. so what $120 oil will look like -- we'll tell you is we need to ration demand. you will see some kind of economic growth stalling and ultimately demand will come off b

both here and across the atlantic in europe. russia denies that they have any offensive intentions towards ukraine. -- intents toward ukraine despite launching a number of offenses. you can take that for what it's worth. there's a great deal of concern of if there is a renewed or reignited much larger war, the wars continue between these states since 2014 and will fundamentally change the european security order. a rather defining moment for european security. host: you write in a recent op-ed, a large war in europe is likely coming in the current weeks. the architecture of the continent, future of nato, and america's role in shaping security outcomes are all at stake going on saying ukraine ,whose fate hangs in the balance, maybe at the center of the crisis. but -- a revision of the security order. can you elaborate? guest: in the months up to this, i thought a conflict was more likely than not and most of the evidence unfortunately points to that conclusion. the russian demands issued in december are not specific to ukraine. t

troops being sent to eastern europe?i think it makes sense, given that russia has over 100,000 troops now encircling ukraine. so certainly to send some support to our allies, defensive support to make sure that russia doesn't think that they can continue these aggressive acts, not just against ukraine, but against the other states in the region. >> and tell me what you've learned from your visit there, just last week. >> as i mentioned, i just returned back, i went as a member of the house armed services committee on the foreign affairs delegation to really talk to our allies and nato, make sure that we were presenting a unified front in the face of this russian aggression, and then to go meet with the ministry of defense, the foreign affairs ministry, the president, to really ensure that they had the support they needed. and i'll tell you, being on the ground in ukraine, speaking to the ukrainian people, it really brought to my mind the fact that i think putin has underestimated the will of the ukrainian people to fight

we need to build them here in europe. these projects are now top priority for us christine, or in conclusion insensible until the new air craft get off the ground. we will continue to develop the new york fighter together. it's also good that the euro drone contracts were signed this week. i'm sure everybody the procurement of lee, the armed drones from israel is something we're working on as well. or food a little bit of a time. and for nuclear participation, we will need a modern replacement for the obsolete tornado jets. the euro fighter is going to have electronic warfare capacity. and after that, we will consider further options as carriers in europe. and we will need to do more in the future in order to ensure a reliable energy supply for our country in the future. one important measure for this is something the german government has already done, and we have, well, we have to re position to get rid of our dependency on individual energy exporters. i visited edison, toggled woodstock. it's the events of recent days

it is unprecedented in europe.i think we have to see how the sanctions come to bear because i think our last guest says europe should pretty much be ashamed of how it has walked away from ukraine after the guarantees they were given in 1994. one last question on the situation. president macron brokered a negotiation that was to take place between putin and biden, then putin invaded. do you think the french president is much wounded on the international stage from a reputation point of view? guest: i don't think so. i think president macron responded very clearly to that yesterday. when you face such a concentration of troops in europe, you have to make all the efforts possible to bring about a reduction of tensions, de-escalation, and that has been the force led by emmanuel macron, but also in a clear consultation and unity with all of our european partners and transatlantic allies. this is something we will continue to do in order to find a way out. what president macron said yesterday, that first we need to respo
