simone: absolutely.ot of the producers in this region budgeted for something like $60 per barrel oil. this is clearly going to help them better meet their fiscal obligations. if we see natural gas prices higher as we've seen over the past couple days, that is something that would be a positive for the fiscal situation. however, the region will be under a lot of pressure from consumers of energy because of the threat that russia may choose to cut off supplies of natural gas, energy and general. we've already seen the united states going out to producers like qatar, libya, nigeria, egypt and say, where do you have more natural gas? can we get that? they said that they don't have a ton. we expect pressures on the producers in this region at opec next week. do they change their policy in response to some of the upward momentum we are seeing in oil prices? folks were telling me that they don't see a change to the plan at the moment just because of isolated geopolitical tensions. has that changed now? yousef:

let's answer that question with simon french, panmure gordon chief economist.oes the ecb have to make a move this year? simon: i don't think it does, but certainly the bond market and yourself both alluding to the movement at the front end. the market testing christine lagarde's communications. i think both the statement we will get tomorrow and the broader messaging that will come out of the next few days will really have to lean back against bond market movements that in my view have got ahead of themselves given the message so far from the ecb governing council. guy: let's say christine lagarde pushes back against the market pricing, and then finds herself in a situation when in march, for instance, the staff projections come out and basically allude to the fact that inflation is not going to fall in anyway let the ecb planned. she has a real communication problem at that point. simon: she does. the communications from central banks is not easy this year. it is not without risk. ultimately, i don't think, given the scale, she can sit through to those march p

i hope that i me here, simon. a lot about the cost because that is what we're trying to signal here. the massive, massive costs of this escalation, of an investigation that has been going on since 2014, that he will suffer and fashionable stuff and really, the whole world, to the end of the day, will suffer if you'd decides to make this decision. white men cannot have tough rhetoric coming out of america and president biden. how do you think america should respond at this point? after a few hiccups, we have already signalled, very clearly, the kind of costs president putin would see if he made the decision to escalate his invasion and those costs will be absolutely massive for the russian economy, for himself and his oligarchs. it is important to note that the russian regime relies on access to the west. this entire invasion, this entire threat has never been about nato but the maintenance of putin's power which means keeping his oligarchs happy and preventing ukrainian democracy from flourishing.— ukrainian democ

thank you very simon simon, young, opposing correspondent. world leaders, scientists and c e o.

what we have not seen, and this goes back to simon's question, is any indication of the russians are backing away from this. we have not seen any data points that alleviate the grave concern, the profound concern we have been expressing for some time now. so the invasion remains potentially imminent and moscow is poised to do precisely the kinds of things that you just outlined. >> follow-up on something simon said, that you and simon discussed, with this notion of diplomacy still on the table and now you are saying it is possible that this area is being attacked, if not actually then rhetorically, the russians are now acknowledging or recognizing their autonomy and sovereignty. how can you then justify discussions about diplomacy when this is underway? you keep saying that the russians have to show that they are serious, they have to de-escalate. but could they engage in talks with the u.s. or do significant scale backs have to happen, do we have to see that before the discussion, that donbas is being regarded different in the rest of the country? >> you heard from our colleagues at

after the peak of their careers i mean neil simon lived long neil simon was the most successful playwright of his time. he never with some exceptions. he never received the kind of critical. embrace that popular audiences and indeed to some degree he suffered because of his popular appeal. you know, i don't think i'm trying to think whether i've seen a neil simon play, but i don't. i got it sounds that sounds snobbish and i don't mean to. but what's the interesting about neil simon to me is in his later years. he you know, he lived. i mean i think his last successful play was in the early 90s. which something you sort of 25 years? in which you are this institution you, you know your theaters named after you you are the most successful living playwright that's account for something and yet at some level you know, he was haunted. by the fact that well, tennessee williams and totally different in a dramatic field. i mean williams spent the last 25 years of his life trying to recapture his muse and his his earlier success, you know. in his case. i mean he was very frank about it that booze and

thank you both for joining us on this topic. simon, i want to start with you. a lot of critic seem to think spotify is basically choosing rogan over the people making issue of this. does it all follow the money? what do you make spotify? as response here? look, i think that the spot fire response has been very measured and reasonable. i think that they're aware that this is a challenge for all media companies, but you also have to recognize that joe is, is essentially a glorified journalist. he's just there, he's asking questions, he doesn't always get it right. and i think he's also been very forward laney, in terms of saying, hey, i will have a great variety of guests on my pod cast that present both sides of the argument. so i think the response from both spotify and job to be thoughtful and measured. well, it's interesting that you call the glorified journalists because we do live in a time where so many people don't trust the traditional media. and so it's notable how they're going to other sources looking for that information. now, why know, what's your t

simon, germany's not recommending a 4th job for vulnerable categories of people. is that taking things too far? what point do we say people have had enough doses more immunities after the job make does way off about 10 weeks. i think it is. but another meeting based in teams having dose after dose. that is a possibility. well, you will forward to think that there is a chance of something coming back. the virus is still circulating relatively high levels in the community, then it will probably want to maintain a high level of immunity in the most vulnerable people. as things stand by saying that they're the probably the only ones who are likely to get for those most of the same way as they would get a flu jap. it's not your issue then with with austria, simon is, is that they're not maybe targeting those most at risk. they're just doing a general sweep of everybody. i'm going to find those. anybody over anything who's and vaccinated? yeah, i think so. i think the student authorities need to be clear about what they want to get chances this, you know, they're going

simon: the costs we are facing our north of that today.nergy surprise -- energy supplies have been hedging some of that. we have insulated ourselves a little bit. the funding package they have outlined of 200 pounds at october 1 is something, but ultimately were looking at 700 pounds increase after the first of april and a full sale prices remain where they are, it is likely it could go up another 200 pounds in october, and that is for no change. customers will be left out of pocket over that period because they are still having to pick up a bigger tap. retailers are not benefiting from this. it looks like it is a pass-through cost. all of the detail is still to be clarified. retailers are not benefiting in any way. any support to households is very needed, and we've also see the 150 pound counter tax rebate for those customers with lower incomes. that is welcome as well. the scale of it is not near the 700 pound and potentially even another 200 pounds on top next winter. kailey: obviously there is an implication for u.k. consumers and u.k

w. political correspondent, simon young. simon, there's reports of an imminent storming of the capital key of what can you tell us about that? well, it's clear that this russian advance continues apace. and as you say, there's reports now serious fighting, even in downtown parts of kia. with the latest report saying that russian troops of attacked an army base on a central avenue. now, of course, as possible from this distance to verify any of this, but the ukrainian side is saying that they are managed to repel that attack. but anyway, it's a sign that things are getting much closer to the center of the capitol. we've also had reports in the last hours of more fighting, more missile strikes in the environs over key. if a ways they're fighting around one of the electricity and generating stations there, but also she's a loss to the south. it does seem to that the russian forces are now in circling slowly at least the, the capital. and who knows what they'll do after that they see they say that they've taken control of the a key hosted mel an air field. and they've also been fighting at

w. political correspondent, simon young. simon, what can you tell us about the russian advance on que? yeah, it's pretty clear that they said vance continues apace and is intensifying and does . he said there are now reports of serious fighting in downtown areas of key of the capital as well. we've had reports of explosions, less than a kilometer from the presidential headquarters and also of an attack by russian troops on a ukrainian army base on it in a central avenue. and of course, from this distance, it's very difficult to confirm and verify these kind of reports. but the ukrainian side says they've repelled that attack. but it's all a sign that, you know, this is getting closer and closer to, to the center of key. and also in the environs of the capital, there been further reports of explosions, missile strikes with the fighting around a key electricity generating station and also around the airports and the airfield. so, you know, i think all of this is coming together. it's pretty clear, as president zaleski said, you know, he's expecting a major offensive against key have a b
