what currently happens is that world roughly follows the ioc guidelines, which state that trans womenevel. the actual world rugby. that's for 12 months to compete. but what world rugby has said today to us that lower testosterone level does not eliminate the physical advantage. they say the research points to that. they say that trans women pose a clear safety risk when they compete in contact rep week. we have spoke to a lot of different people about this, we spoke to doctor nicola williams who is director of fair play for women and she agrees with the proposals. it has been clear for a while now with the research that trans women do retain a male type advantage and the safety issues around that were obvious and so issues around that were obvious and soi issues around that were obvious and so i think will rugby saw that come to acknowledge that, and they have acted. they had done it because they could not ignore the safety issues here. we have already seen trans women playing rugby and playing women's rugby. it is happening now. and so, the risk is there now. world rugby have had to

gone -- are this means you will get more investments in russian companies going forward instead of the ioclso means higher oil prices. not all of the spare capacity will come back. back, it will be in tandem with demand. where will the next million barrels come from as demand continues to recover? that is a question. nobody is focusing on that. i think we are setting ourselves up for a spike in 20212022. or 2022.1 alix: it is going to be hard to see how the oil industry likes the caps for gasoline demand, the other fuels that will have regulation. biden wants 2de d carbonized the u.s. energy carbonizednce to d carbonized -- i will not comment on his policy just yet. despite the plans being talked about, the reality is i think both sides understand the importance of the oil and gas sector for the u.s. economy. it will get harder in terms of permits and all the other bits and pieces, but as a whole the industry is almost saying, oh, we will have peaked demand. working towards that, cutting off supplies well before we get there on the demand side, we can get the demand but it will be because

where we see the biggest capitulation is big oil, not just on the ioc, but across the world.onate about 5 barrels coming off line, one is permanent and being laid to rest and the other four are deferred. and what's going on in the sales, more and more is being taken off-line, companies are going bankrupt and that's an , i saw the supply equation in terms of supply losses through this year, and the demand equation is assuming permanent damage, this is still less than a deficit towards the back end of this year and supply and demand which we need to bring down, that will ultimately drive the price significantly see the newople normal for demand, and this is permanently taken off-line with a sharp deficit emerging. alix: that brings up an interesting point, there are two views emerging in the market, that we will see a supply shock and you will have oil companies still leveraging very well because they will need all of their products. on the other hand, there's the story that we will not see the calf and the companies that have transitioned like bp and shell might be in a better
