saying some of the highest petrol prices use, even though russian oil hasn't been sanctioned. gabriel, alexander explains why, from neil. the unprecedented sanctions are directly aimed at the russian economy of indiana was predicted. there could be a wider effect on the global economy as well, particularly, and higher prices of petrol. and that's exactly what we're now starting to see here in new york, the price of a gallon of petrol in some places is over $5.00, or just over $1.25 a liter. it's a highest. it's been since 2014 just overnight thursday and friday, the price of petrol jumped $0.11 in the u. s. and it's gone up $0.29 since russia began its invasion of ukraine. russian oil has not yet been sanction. so the question is, why are petrol prices still rising then it's complicated, but the short answer is, is that oil traders are worried about higher prices of doing business in russia. primarily can they get oil tankers into russian ports? and also, how are they going to deal with exchanging money with russian banks that have been sanctioned as well? just a few of their concerns. this is w

s. religious leaders, the various fights have come together in solidarity calling for peace. gabriel alexander has more. they came to pray for peace. there was a rabbi and an archbishop and followers of other religions all gathered in the ukrainian orthodox cathedral to offer support to the ukrainian faithful and to call for one thing an end to the war. it was the largest inter faith prayer service of its kind in new york since russia invaded ukraine. this was a way to come together with other people, pray together, be and sell a dirty lot. everybody is together and saying innocent people cannot be mercilessly murdered. that is not except according to all faith traditions, if you have no faith traditions in human, it's indecent. it's immoral. the russian orthodox church patriarch, creal, and ally vladimir putin has justified the invasion during his sermons saying it is a struggle against sin. religious leaders here flatly reject that. it will lead to the leaders of russia and especially to do more to justify this invasion in this bloodshed. this is acceptable and i think what russia people des

is already in the grip of high inflation and soaring oil prices could make that worse. gabriel alexander reports from yield a week into the invasion of ukraine. the price of oil has soared at $1.00 point on wednesday, climbing to over a $113.00 a barrel analyst now say it could hit a $125.00 soon. the fear and perception of shortage or exit or excess, or it's always affects the market, the price immediately this week, the u. s. and 30 allies pledge to release 60000000 barrels of oil from the strategic reserves. but the world consumes about 100000000 barrels a day. so the move has done little to slow prices. if the united states was to, in the all russian oil imports, it would mean the price that consumers pay at the pump would go up a lot. but nevertheless, there's growing calls in congress for president joe biden to do exactly that in america's reliance on russian oil. on wednesday, if i was asked about that option, nothing is off the table. western oil companies such as exxon shell and b, p r, pulling out of russia, exxon ending operations, and a $4000000000.00 investment at a russian
