and methane is an incredibly potent gas.e needed to reduce those emissions and understand where they were coming from. >> the study was funded by your group and nine petroleum companies. what do you have to say to those concerned about bias? >> sure it's critically important that we get detailed information from the actual well production sites. but we also need to use other methods to ensure that we fully captured the results that are out there, and to do that, we have lots of studies ongoing. this is just the first of 16 studies that we're involved with, that looks at this problem across the supply chain. >> so what else are you looking at? that raises a good question. this is one component of what happens in the process of frac-ing. what else are you asking questions about? >> we're looking at the gathering lines, the processing, the transition of the gas and storage, as well as local distribution, that in a single-end use, natural gas use for medium and heavy trucks. but one of the key things is the integrity of the proc

get the natural gas out. to test it you want to turn it an eighth of a turn and turn it back to the way it it was. notice the little thing? that's going straight with the flow of the pipe that means it's open. if it's across that means you turned off the gas. the eighth a turn you didn't turn it off you just moved it. these are in better shape. if you can get to this valve, safely, the building's collapsed on it you can't get to it you have to use the one in the street. pg and e put all the meters outside the houses in a lot of the neighborhoods, these are pretty easy to get to. they are easy to find. if you can find the little round circle in the sidewalk. if you look directly at the house you will find this meter and this shut off on the ground floor. in is a closeup of the shut off. in is the wrench i recommend you you use it for other things. they are cheap and they will work. this is great because you can use it somewhere else if you have to. an adjustable open end wrench. a diagram are off/on. shut off

a former press officer for ukraine state gas company enough the gas says the issue has been turned into a major political power play here but it's still unclear how much gas is there and whether it'll be possible to extract it yet everyone makes such a big deal of it it's like cooking a hand which hasn't been caught not even knowing if that has actually exists even the most optimistic forecast suggest that ukraine would not start extracting its shale gas until the year twenty twenty that's if there is any gas at all but until then a question remains pretty much open with this lead to the country's much desired energy independence or simply do a change in who they're dependent on. reporting from kiev in ukraine. thanks so much for your company this hour date the week's top stories and bringing more today's news headlines in just a couple of minutes you're watching r.t. . comments i want to. make up something that is quite simply. was no way oh. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us and turned over to the us for. the sole that could be buried aliv

to turn from from russian gas companies for conventional gas to develop a known quantities of shale gas and have it deplete within a matter of less than ten years this is going to be really a dead end for ukraine ok and speaking of you know what's happening in the country and the comic reasons that are sided by a president here on a college who is actively lobbying for a free trade zone between ukraine and the european union saying that you know that cooperation would boost the economy europe's markets should say by seven percent so how valid are these forecasts in your opinion. well i think the president on a covert chiz is living in a in a dream world i think this is a huge geo political blunder by him and by his government to go for this free trade area first of all the european union itself is in the throes of a deep deep deep recession it's by no means out of the woods on that front countries like spain portugal. italy. greece of course and other countries are in a deep recession the e.u. has very little to offer ukraine except more unemployment it's kind of a if you will a sho

when we did a study on natural gas, the -- if you asked the question upfront "is natural gas part of the problem or part of the solution for climate change" we reached the conclusion, yes. [laughter] that is -- that is, certainly in the near term and for -- potentially for some years out, this substitution of natural gas for coal combustion without carbon capture would be a major contributor to reducing carbon emissions. but in the longer term, assuming we are cranking down hard on carbon emissions, then eventually gas itself would have to have carbon capture or it would be too carbon intensive. so it's really -- that is the classic definition of the bridge to -- to the future and we need to work on those technologies. now, next question is, there's been a lot of controversy around methane emissions, and first of all, the -- again, actually in the president's climate action plan, there was specifically a call-out for addressing what you might call the non-co2 greenhouse gases, hydrofloor carbons, for example, where we are working. in fact, we have an agreement with china to work on t

lawmakers like this one say more gas should be kept at home and more of the gas revenues invested in domestic programs other than defense. >> there is an economic and a social threat. and poverty is a bigger threat than security right now to israel. the prices are going up, salaries are going down and social services like, for example, housing are being neglected. we should build a more viable and more sustainable economy. this is something that the natural gas can truly help doing but it takes patience. >> reporter: and there's another aspect to this story. how will israel's gas find affect the always volatile politics of the region? that's a concern because the gas space is believed to extend into waters off syria and lebanon, both technically at war with israel. and israel's maritime border with lebanon is in dispute. michael levy from the council on foreign relations sees both opportunities and risks in the gas discoveries. he worries that maritime border disputes could erupt. >> if you disagree about where your borders are and you both claim areas as your own, if something valua

why lithuania wayne yans are hoping for cheap gas. first, we look at one of the implications of the syrian war for europe. the planned peace talks between the syrian government and its opponents have been pushed back time and time again. they will probably not take place before october now, with both the syrian opposition and the international community divided over the future of the country. meanwhile, with every day of violence, hatred between those who support president assad and those who want to topple him continues to grow. thousands of islamists have also come into syria from outside to fight against assad's forces. among them radicalized young for example, a fundamentalist group in belgium has been recruiting dozens of youth in recent months. >> before he disappeared, brian destroyed pictures of himself. his mother has just a few left. this one, taken a month before her son vanished, shows the young man holding his niece in his arms. >> he disappeared in the middle of the night. i don't know why. no goodbye, nothing. and for s
