now we know, incidentally, we know that the e u commission is going through this source of rationalization as it were right now, trying to work out what sort of alternatives could be implemented to allow them to wind themselves off as quickly as possible from a reliance on russian natural gas and oil, and were expecting to hear from the e u commission in the course of the next hour or so about what exactly they intend to do. they have said franz demands. the commissioner, the relevant commissioner, is that he wants to reduce the dependence on rational natural russian natural gas by 2 thirds in the course of this calendar year. that means getting rid of a 100000000000 cubic meters of gas from russia and finding it elsewhere. and we'll find out what he's really thinking about in the call for the next hour. all right, thank you so much. dominic came reporting from berlin. the cranium president of the resilience is to address british appease in the coming hours. it sounds as prime minister boars, johnson continues his diplomatic effort to encourage western leaders to punish russia for the inva

union has been changed dramatically by it's association with ukraine and by this invasion, the e u commission president to day said that for the 1st time ever, e u funds are being used to buy and deliver military equipment for a country that is under attack. now could you have imagine this just one week ago of cause this trunk? i was to price to many countries, but we were, we've been advocating that for a long time, and it's only europe in atlanta and switzerland and sweden, you know, still be neutral countries. something that they've been been their policy for for many, many years. and, and i'm in germany, no re re shaped, it's military budget. are because of that and said it's the end of their special relations with russia. i think what happened is europe just woke up in the recent days. and i mean, i'm happy to see how quickly i know the things progress because i mean, no one could have imagined that this harsh sanctions and change of policies will happen over night almost. and i think the reason why this is happening is because of the ukrainians or bravely fighting that russians. i mean,

for the commission to play a more active role in distributing ukraine. refugees across e u. member states. the commission declined to do that. instead, it is insisting on a voluntary based system where member states step up and take the initiative. however, as we've seen thus far more, maybe states are bearing more of a load than others. what the commission will now do is it's a little compiler index. when it will assess e u, member states that will accessed their existing burden, it will assess their capacity, publish that and, and hope that each member states will step up and do their bit. now part of this is also about incentivizing an e u member states or rather, incentivizing and refugees, ukraine, refugees. why in poland to come to the states or the u commission as encourage member states to do that because for a lot of the craner refugees they prefer to be in poland. right now it's closer to home. the assimilation is much easier because the languages are closer and very most chances are that people do know somebody in poland. so part of that is also going to be having

the interesting thing is that the e u commission's perspective and indeed the german government's perspective here in berlin is very much this idea of let's reduce our reliance on russian oil and gas as quickly as possible. but there is a reluctance or perhaps a greater reluctance in brussels, and certainly here in berlin to the idea of all encompassing embargoes on oil and gas. the question was put specifically to the vice chancellor here robert harbor of the green party, who is also the economy minister and climate change minister. question put to him was that people are going on the working impression that the united states government is going to impose an embargo on those 2 energy sources. oil and gas, would the german government follow suit. and he said effectively that they're prepared to discuss this sort of idea. but if such a thing was gonna happen and be endorsed by the german government, there would have to be a total guarantee of the availability of alternative sources of energy to fill the gap that would be caused by a sudden denial of russian oil and gas. here and the view that

that will be a statement with the european commission president with a funder line and with the u. s. president, melinda. first of all, tell us about what this announcement what we're expecting to here on this broadening of a partnership with the u. s. on energy. actually, the u. s. is already been diverting considerable amount of liquid fire natural gas to europe, of the national security adviser to president biden. jake sullivan talked about a surge in us supplies to europe. this will be an additional 15000000000 cubic meters of a liquefied natural gas from the us. that's what we're told. we don't have official confirmation on that figure yet. but that would amount to about 10 percent of europe's annual natural gas consumption. so it's significant, but again, it's additional to what the u. s. is already been diverting to europe and there's a clear commitment and a lot of flexibility on the u. s. side, because essentially they are producing a good deal of l n g. and they are able and willing to divert it to the highest bidder. in other words, this is definitely going to have an ef

i work with a group that is commissioned by the u. n. p r i. and we look at something called didn't eligible policy response, and we look at for costing what we think might happen as well as what would be required to get to $1.00. and we think we could for cost say something like $1.00, which is what the call might be. might the outcome, the been weird, full cost that before the car. and in that we need to start throttling back on coal . certainly no new coal from 2025 onwards is very small window. and we would be say, be very careful how much you do. and then on oil and gas, there's a final window here as oil and gas, oil demand peaks, we think in the next 2 to 3 years. and following that is going to rapidly run off. so there's not a lot of room even on this or not on the so stringent $1.00 outcomes. even at $1.00 is not that much room for new investment in oil and gas. the saw i'm but not a lot. very interesting to get your thoughts. mark fulton, chair of the research council of the carbon tracker and founding partner energy transition adviso

u. s. government and european commission. when you look at the figure, it tell you that the figure that will rank in that energy partnership, only a percentage of what you import just really need. and any phasing out of russian gas imports will take years. it will take, at least for 5 years. it will not be done within this year, and so if there is some sort of suspension of delivery because of a dispute over the terms of contract from whichever side whether the sinks could become difficult. already soaring energy prices driven up further by sanctions imposed against russia over the ukraine conflict have bolstered concerns about the rising cost of living in europe when you casing tank is now warning that around 1300000 britons will be pushed into poverty this year. because of the skyrocketing expenses, of cues could also be seen outside supermarkets in greece, after reported supply chain disruptions, and to rise in demand amid the ongoing conflict and ukraine. customers were reportedly allowed to buy a maximum of 3 bags of flo

u. s. and the e. you have announced a plan to reduce european countries dependence on russian gas at a joint news conference with you. commission chief or sla funder lion president joe biden promised the u. s. would deliver more liquefied natural gas to europe this year. he also said the current crisis is an opportunity to boost renewable energy sources. let's hear what joe biden had to say earlier. we're coming together to reduce your friend who's on russian energy. put news issued rushes energy resources, of course, and manipulated neighbors. and so he's using his use the profit, it's a driver's war machine. this initiative focuses on 2 core issues. one help in europe reduces dependency on russian gas as quickly as possible. secondly, reducing europe's demand for gas. overall. we're going across now to brussels, where all of this has been happening, and we can speak to a bureau chief that alexander of phenomena alexandra, tell us how significant is this deal between b, u and the u. s. while a deal is definitely very significant, we are not talking here about delivering additional volumes of liquid natural gas to europe. both

u. s. doing so. but the european commission has announced a plan to slash its dependence on russian fuel supplies. before the end of this year. we are not going to ban impulsive russian energy. we are not following bite and on this matter, it is a meeting to have discussions on tuesday about this idea of reducing the reliance on russian imports of natural gas and also of oil. just to give you a sense of how important they have been to the block over 40 percent of the gas that comes into the e. u at the moment is from russia, and around 25 percent of the crude oil is also from russia. so these are significant portions. what we heard from the vice president of the european commission, this is france timmons at that press conference, is that the block is now going to look to reduce massively. it's dependency. all of those energy imports from russia as this war in ukraine continue to run along our friends, him and said that again, we're in ukraine. so lee, being blamed at the foot of president putin not at the russian people, was part of this quite the european union right now feels it has to reduce t
