the world's demand for gas is going up the world's demand for oil is going up as well but gas demand is rising faster gas is seen as a cleaner fuel and therefore the medium term future of gas is looks better i'm more optimistic than the oil it's almost inevitable that the world's demand for oil will peak the question is is when is that going to be certainly if there's going to be a peak in gas demand it will be a long time further into the future than any peak in oil demand right spencer welch there from h s a market in london thank you so much thank you. more business coming up later but first brian has got some well hopeful developments for the people of yemen in that way monaco around says it will be supporting the peace talks aimed at ending the conflict in yemen those talks could start as early as wednesday in sweden now this development comes after the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen agreed to fly out fifty wounded rebels who are supported by iran and medical evacuation as part of confidence building efforts ahead of the planned peace talks the fate of who the rebels was
