and that is similar, similar situation and the other european nations. so at the same time they addicts, one thing, 2000000 barrels a day as abroad. why they need the domestic. so i think, i think there is some kind of nobody said that question addiction and the policies of that was when the war and your korean is started, i think this will this good option. i mean, i'm sorry, this debate is that we could do new, you'll be there as long as they don't know what to do. they are into a thing that this is the only solution you can show to impose additional attention which is firing back. now you see the european union is bragging down to be and recession and becoming mom or next year. so i think that they need to be looking carefully and try to catch credit before they go on such as sanctions. again, as freshman, we're just getting short on time here, but they do want to get your reaction to this. give them re, it's one of the biggest energy export is how much concern do you think that is in europe, that the high prices or perhaps accelerating the shift tool

european commission is over stepping its mandate here. because that responsibility for energy security and energy mix is actually something that lies with national governments, not european union. i think it will become it. we really will be tested if we get to this emergency situation where they try to make it mandatory until then it's a voluntary agreement and we must wait to see why given the long list of exemptions could european nations still fill the gaps left. if russia does turn off the taps completely, especially if, if europe faces an exceptionally cold winter, i think the short answer is no to simply not enough gas available in global markets . because most of the, the other gas will have to come as liquefied natural gas. and it's not just whether or not there's a, there's a mild winter in europe. we've been relatively lucky in europe that chinese demand has been depressed as a consequence of cove. it, if we have a hard winter in the northern hemisphere that affects asian l n, g demand will be in competition with asia to try and secure the available, flexible, and n g. the simply not enough flexible energy to cover the gap. so where d

expansion of marriage rights in a referendum last year. switzerland is one of the last western european nations to legalize same sex marriage and 4 years germany has struggled to reconcile. it's colonial history in africa. and one aspect of that is stolen cultural artifacts, such as the been in bronze us on display at several german museums. now though, the path has been cleared for their return to nigeria with the foreign and culture ministers from both countries, signing an agreement at a ceremony a short time ago. the deal formerly recognizes the pieces as the property of nigeria. at the center of the colonialism debate in germany that benning bruncess in 1897 british forces looted thousands of the art treasures from the royal palace in benign mutton de nigeria. many ended up in german museums. more than 400 or in berlin's humbled forum. a long battle over the looted art is now ending both germany and nigeria had to care nigeria, the rightful owner of the plagues and sculptures. the breakthrough means the objects can return to their homeland. it's also a radical change in perspective for ger

russia, with some e u. countries being especially dependent, namely germany, italy, and eastern european nations. in ports are now down to 20 percent. but should russia really hold all gas imports? experts only see one solution. if we are to see a full interruption of the rash and gas supply to europe, then we will have to decrease our gas demand in that is he then shall sector in the industrial sector. so using less warm water, turning down the heating and switching off the lights. well beyond the agenda for many in europe, for some more than for our this we and program an estimated that they're all they're all in. you are a way to got to get them and by 15 percent, but these will have national differences. germany, for example, use a country that might need to reduce more gas demand because of the limited the, i'll turn at these germany has, at the same time, yearly dis, rushing to find alternatives to russian energy. such as liquefied natural gas, for example, or ramping up gas imports from other countries, like aster by john, despite the nations dubious human rights record, this will help co

italy has never faced an election campaign in summer and that is for a reason like many southern european nations like basically comes to a standstill in the hot months. the cities empty out and people flew to the beach or so what does that campaign going to look like? yes, it is going to be peculiar, but i don't think only because of the summer time, and there is extremely time for political parties to submit their documentation that is necessary for running the election. so times are tied from an administrative point of view. also they'll be a reduction in the number of seats available in apartment. so you could expect in fighting with the parties to be on the ticket to be made kelly than the electrolyte . and you could expect more split. we already within the 5 pro movement, there's been a split and you could expect more people leaving their parking, trying to find somewhere somewhere else where they can fit. so an interesting scenario or painting their things as they are now. who is the front runner for these elections in september? if you look at opinion polls, you have a coalition made up b

the rest of the pole because until the story of what america thinks it should be. 47 out of 50 european nations stopped abortions at 15 weeks. the majority do. even among those, most stop it at 12 weeks. the only reason it is allowed to happen is because the inhumanity after that point. we have had a court that said we couldn't limit and now we do and we will get it right. >> as you have mentioned several times, where does the antiabortion movement go next? would you like to see abortion illegal in all 50 states? >> of course i would. once the child has been conceived, it is a human being, which it is. that is the death of a human being each time. of course. to debate the merit of that, if i win in any of those places, in congress, legislator, and the court of public opinion, that will be law. right now, what you see is poll after poll is to limit after the first trimester. absolutely. the human rights movement of our time, because it is protecting the human rights of our people after they are created. >> a federal ban on abortion? >> my answer is the same. congress is a legislature also. that

nation. but a few europeans have understood america better than some of today's americans do. prime minister margaret thatcher, the the most churchley in britain sense churchill himself, correctly said this, quote european nations were made by history. the united states was made by philosophy. that philosophy, the heart of which is the doctrine of the universal natural rights is always and directly pertinent to u.s. foreign policy. henry kissinger has argued that americans believes in our principles are universally true. he implies the governments based on other principles are less than legitimate. they are, as it were on permanent probation. our founding document, the declaration of independence, does not mince words. it says governments derive their just powers, they're just powers from the consent of the government. therefore, many of the world's governments do not have just powers. kissinger has also said acutely that on the one hand, americans frequently seem to regard foreign policy as an optional activity. on the other hand, the belief that american principles should be

in the face of rising temperatures, european nations are looking for ways to adapt to this new normal spain, a combination of extreme heat and dry conditions sparked the outbreak of forest fires across the country. the june heat wave drove temperatures above 40 degrees celsius and multiple regions. as high as 14 degrees above the monthly average. nestled in the heart of the country, the capital sweltering in the unseasonably brutal heat. >> trees like this one are being brought here because madrid is building a greenbelt around the city. that means that trees are being planted in the gaps that are already existing and forests. this should help to bring down the temperatures a bit. this should have an effect as an air conditioner, basically. just a very gigantic one. correspondent: but these are not limited to t sunny south of europe. countries in the north are being forced to adapt. in brandenburg, germany, a lack of rain is posing serious challenge for farmers. years of droht have bake the already dry soil, making it hard to store the water necessary for growing crops. >> this farm i

more and more of our voters discovered that that you know, it's of the i think there are 42 european nations that allow abortion 39 of the 42 have laws protective more protective than the mississippi law at least as protected 15 weeks or earlier 39 of the 42 european nations that allow of our ocean. we are the outlier right with north korea and china. yes, which is not company that i want to be right. i know obviously we don't want to end up with europe right if the final kind of like, you know, where we end up in the united states is just to have germany and france's abortion laws, you know considering that i think it's 92% of all abortions take place before 15 weeks. that's not really going to be an acceptable outcome either. these are starting points to the eventual goal of every life being protected and law and welcome to life. that's still the goal and incrementalism has to be at the service of that ultimate goal. the reason why the tedd county quote gives me hope is that these guys will hopefully when he went to his maker he repented the ones who were still around still have an opportu
