and harnessing the power of north sea wind to boost renewable energy — an intergovernmental conferencenorthern europe seeks new ways to become energy independent. welcome to world business report. i'm tadhg enright. let's start with credit suisse because the collapsed banking giant has revealed results for the first quarter of this year — the bank's last quarter before it had to be rescued by swiss rival ubs. and they illustrate the scale of the crisis which was around the corner. between january and march, credit suisse made a pre—tax loss of nearly $1.5 billion. to add to its woes, a massive amount of deposits were withdrawn in the three—month period. total outflow was nearly $69 billion. and to remind you what happened next, when there were fresh doubts about the stability of the banking industry a few weeks ago, investors became increasingly fearful for the future of credit suisse. it was eventually bought by its swiss rival, ubs, in what was described as "an emergency rescue." the $3 billion price tag was a mere fraction of what the bank would have previously been valued. let's ge

and recent reports of a russian spy ship in the north sea region. al critical infrastructure is under threat and we know it since the we have experienced the summer touch of nor stream a pipeline or last year. so this is the reason why we have stepped up in the european union, our actions concerning preparedness. the commitments made in belgium will essentially quadruple the current offshore wind capacity in the north sea. leaders acknowledge it will take a huge investment, but they say for the security and sustainable future of europe, it must be done alexander buyers for inside story. ah, unless bring in our guests now in stromness, in the old he island scotland at garth davis, founder of aqua, tara, and environmental and sustainable energy consultancy. his company is involved in the planning of future marine offshore real rules across europe in brussels, sandrine dixon, declare that co president of the club of rome, a climate policy advisory sandrine is also the you ambassador of the energy transition commission and in london. no. o'brien, easter

and in fact, brussels bureau chief, alexander vietnam, and ask the north sea leaders tonight if they can give us an update on the north stream attacks. and they said no, in fact, i've had many people tell me that we may never know who blew up those pipeline, but those are just an example of what can be done and how apparently easily it can be done. so this is a wake up call and nato and the european union are finally putting their powers together and saying, we need to protect the infrastructure. we need to do more. we can't leave it just to those, those nations that have the cables running through their territory. so certainly this has been a wake up call the nordstrom attacks. and now this documentary, and i think we're going to see a lot more surveillance of the undersea cables and pipelines now. yeah, we're good on you for putting the spotlight on this vulnerability. as you say, it's been out there all the law w's, terry shoals for on the story tonight is always terry, thank you. with these top diplomat says that he is hopeful of finalizing a deal to buy badly needed munitions for

year's summit, leaders laid out an ambitious plan to create the world's largest green per pont in the north sea in less than 30 years. this time they'll also look at how to keep energy operations and undersea data cables safe after cases of suspected sabotage against the north stream gas pipelines and reports that russians spy ships are mapping infrastructure in western european waters. the last month taught us how important it is to protect our critical infrastructure. it is, 1st of all about having a mutual awareness about what the threats are. a common analysis about the strength and the weaknesses, and then to develop together a different solution for better protection. environmental campaigners argue that boosting and safeguarding power sources must be balanced with protecting marine life. so that efforts to go green, don't damage these precious blue resources. every year, malaria kills more than $600000.00 people, most of them children, according to the world health organization. but just as the w h o marks world malaria day, a new vaccine is raising hope that the disease could soon one d

we're going to do this in the north sea. the reality is that the best wind was also in europe or at the northern end of the north sea and to the west of, of scotland and ireland. and it would be very surprising if this focused on productivity didn't take the developments to those places. and i think in doing so that will avoid some of the more acute planning challenges which exist because the north sea is the busiest and the most heavily used. and has some of the most valued natural communities. and so that might be a little bit more space in some of these more northern and western areas for these developments to take place. but they the appropriate planning and choosing the right places for these wind farms and other forms of technology will be absolutely critical. and as will the fact that we need to spread them out across the north, south line if you like of europe. because because our weather systems go east west, generally it's our, i'm sorry, gas i'm running out. we are running out to tom. i do want to come quickly to

but it is those north sea temperatures that are real killers to the temperatures adjacent to the northn easterly wind, basically, we pick up cold air that's been sitting across the north sea and feed it straight into eastern coasts. further west with some sunshine, things do get chance to warm up. and we're looking at highs towards the west today in the west of any sunshine of 15 or 16 degrees, a bit more cloud for wales. in the south—west, though, one or two showers around here could be a shade cooler. pollen levels down from the very high levels across england and wales that we saw earlier this week, but still very high in a few spots and high quite widely across the uk for any allergy sufferers. now looking to thursday, those bars on that chart opened up a little bit there for the keen eyed amongst you. that should mean a lighter winds going through the night with clear skies, lighter winds, some cold air hanging around there. you've got all the ingredients to make for a frosty start to thursday. gardeners can easily be caught out, i know i have been, by putting out tender plants at

and as that low clears into the north sea, it opens the floodgates to a cold arctic northerly.s the end of the weekend and into next week. but you can see those temperatures beginning to fall across the north of the uk. this is bbc news. we will have all of the headlines and main news for you as newsday continues at the top of the hour, but first it's hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. they say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. in that context, there are growing concerns in both the european union and nato that one member state, hungary, is undermining their collective cohesion. hungary is a consistent outlier on many issues, from supporting ukraine with weapons and sanctions to welcoming sweden into nato. my guest is hungary's foreign minister, peter szijjarto.

the north sea — them reach those goals? the north sea in _ them reach those goals?articular has them reach those goals? ti2 north sea in particular has a history of oil and gas production, it is not the 19705 or 19805 anymore, the north sea is declining much of that stuff was oil and we have got the gas crisis which is completely related to gas, so the more we build up these renewables and when you look at countries like us, even china, they have huge subsidy packages building up their offshore fleets, there is only a certain number of votes in the world that can build these big offshore wind turbines so what the eu is doing and the uk as well to date sporting its flag on the ground and saying to investors, sending signals to the market the north are still a good place to invest in because of that renewable future. we appreciate _ that renewable future. we appreciate your time, jess ralston. the disgruntled investors in credit suisse, they will find out today just how bad this were in the run—up its dramatic rescue bites arch rival ubs, the swiss bank will unveil it

now, as we head on through the evening and overnight, more cloud romps in from the north sea. north, under clear skies, it will be cold and locally we will see a touch of frost, but that's, of course, where we'll see some blue skies to start the day tomorrow, under the clear skies. tomorrow a high pressure drifts a little bit further west. we still have this squeeze on the isobars, still brisk winds along the north sea coastline. this weather front continuing to pull away from the south—west taking its showers with it. a few of those showers may get into south wales, but they'll also move away and the low cloud tending to break up with the cloud generally pushing in the direction of the west, so brightening up in eastern areas. the north hanging onto the sunshine for most of the day. temperatures sliding a little bit. we're looking at ten to about 15 degrees as our maximum temperatures in the afternoon. as we move through wednesday into thursday, high pressure still very much with us, more or less anchored across our shores, but you can see we've got various weather fronts comi
