u. s. energy market makes it more attractive for the company's investments. then, for example, the u. k. or europe and european customers and industry are absolutely the ones bearing the brunt of all these. adding costs to buy energy and to, to re route it through half the world. now, europe has been saying that it wants to ramp up it's military industrial production . but here in france, they're even struggling to keep making baguettes do the energy cost. so good luck with that guys. meanwhile, the blocks fearless leaders keep saying that they're strong and independent and don't need russian fuel even as they keep importing it on the sly. that is until, as we've just seen with poland, russian fuel dumped them at least 6 palestinians have been killed and 16 more wounded during an idea of operation in the occupied westbank city of janine, among the dead, allegedly, is a terrorist accused of murdering to israeli settlers? in the palestinian town of who are up last week as early military forces reportedly entered the janine area on tuesday as part of a counter terrorist operation. when the clashes between the i d. f and palestinians broke

u. s. s. are not being the us are i hope that they can, they can reconcile but you know, model of the government, the majority of their population seems to certainly want to engage more firmly with the european union. and they talk about nato and that, but you know that i think that it's going to continue to be just a lot of stirring it up. deflecting reflecting, who's is there were right and wrong. the russian federation, right on it strategies are that is the u. s. and other countries right or wrong. i don't think we're there yet. but when you know, when should be dying? no one should be getting hurt. protests. go to the ballot box, do whatever you're going to, you know, whatever you want to do. but i think this one's going to, going to be a while. it does serve a purpose for the russian federation because it's, it's one more area that can sort of distract when need be. but i don't think we're going to be seeing nuclear weapons in any part of moreover, and he's got some good news. well, john, i'

now, how concerned are the u. s. and shine of a u. s. and germany, rollin shina might be entering the gray war as a weapon supplier to moscow. they are very concerned, china of course, presented what it calls its own peace plan just a few days ago. it says it is not in favor of war, but it also refuses to condemn it. and so it is sitting on the fence to say the very least. and the worry now is that backing russia implicitly could concrete, the also means sending weapons and there are no intelligence reports. we oh, barrels that have been made public that suggested this has already taken place for both sides and the europeans. and the u. s. are seeing this as a red line without mentioning this is necessarily being such a red line and, and vowing that there would be consequences. but this is what we're hearing in the background. so no, no us present. m stepping in front of the cameras and saying this clearly and openly and neither also from the diamond side. but we're left with no doubt that that would be a reaction from the west looking fr

u. s. are going to do lights run in the day, right. and we see that across everything frankfurt, we can look at any other market. it and it just shows that, you know, our point that we're always making is that the u. s. is dictating financial policy of every other country within their sphere of interest. they don't allow them that much freedom. and everyone is sort of on tentative waiting for was this fumbling man in his eighty's is about to say, which is just crazy. washington has harshly criticized. they propose new bosnian serb law, calling it russian, influenced any danger to democracy and human rights that despite at finding its inspiration in the u. s. foreign law. in bosnia and herzegovina and the president of republic, sir pisca is falling, others in the region down a dangerous anti democratic path. and trying to pass kremlin inspired draft bloss, that rob residents of their basic rights silence descent and allow corruption to flourish unchecked. the republic, a step sca authority east announced plans for 2 pieces of repressive

u. s. banks at unrealized losses of about $8000000000.00 by the end of $21.00 . then we started this cycle off, increasing interest rates are now u. s. banks are sitting on and realized losses in the amount of $620000000000.00. that is no problem as long as clients are not pulling their money. so now we have to see if we see more, a bank runs in the days and weeks to come. so janet jaelyn has ruled out a bailout. what does that mean for the people or the companies that still have their money in the bank? no. well, in general, i mean at least a few talk here about the united states, but that is similar in other countries too. so you have for insurance for about $250000.00 per account of i of the if the i see. so if you have more money than those $250000.00, and that actually seems to be true for a vast majority of the clients of silicon valley bank, you're looking as a potential loss. but i mean, the whole story is still unfolding. i've seen reports that maybe there might be an auction auction of some of the i city of silicon valley bank, maybe someone might even jump in and try and buy the bank. so the whole story is still

u. s. are starting to invest as well. so are there any other places left to put solar panels? how about up in space? getting close to the actual source queue, the sun, john's 24 hours a day. and you need 0 land back on earth. so why don't we install solar panels in the earth's orbit? the bridge lead space energy initiative with around 50 partners from industry, government and science is planning to put a solar panel satellite in space by 2035. the us, china and japan are also taking part in the solar space power west. and this is how it might work. satellites in the earth's geo stationary orbit, which is around 35000 kilometers from earth, harvest energy using huge solar panels. and after converting it beam down the resulting microwave radiation down to earth on the ground, a network of receiving antennas, or rick tin as collect them microwaves and turned them to electricity for the grid . each satellite would produce 2 gigawatts of continuous power. as much as around $700.00 utility scale wind turbines, they'd be huge around 1.7 kilometers in diameter and would waive several

you may remember the association of are do gonna, and other incident happened inside russia. i think the u. s. and tick, you are getting a bit concerned about because the spillover risk and the way you claim is potentially being portrayed as a result. and so understanding was ukrainian government was being careful at that time, not to do anything controversial. miss would very katie, you know, for within that scope. and so i find it hard to say that it was driven by them just in crow. many thanks, always great speaking to you, ah, and france, tens of thousands have joined a fresh wave of open ended strikes against president among whom icons proposed pension reforms. unions have vowed to bring the nation to a standstill over the plans, which would see the minimum retirement age raised from $60.00 to $264.00. the government says the measures are needed, but polls show most french citizens are against the proposed changes. the early hours final preparations are made for a day of disruption. the makeshift barricade set in place at a bus depot, just north of paris unions called on people to come o

u. s. congressional committee and explaining the great length, the tick tock goes to in order to protect the data of its users. however, these answers are not satisfying for many in the u. s. congress, i in addition to that, there are concerns about problematic videos on tick tock depicting violence, suicide, drug use and other harmful issues that a similar app which operates on the chinese mainland sensor. so at this point in the testimony, we heard a rather harsh questioning of u. s. officials are where they pressed the seo of the tick tock corporation about why a similar censorship measure was not being used for content directed at the united states as was done with contact directed at the chinese mainland. i hears the interaction, the total u. s. experience it should be compared to other u. s. companies because this is common, but your parent company has the technology to prevent it because you prevented china. but you can't prevent here. why it's different. that's why i'm asking. oh, congressman, there is no technology. there is perfect in doing this. we have to deal with the reality of the country they were operating in and who in

u. s. relations are in a very difficult situation during the pressure of a few days ago and says firmly that if the religions keep going down in his path and that the u. s. doesn't hit the breaks, there would definitely be confrontation and conflict. and that vision would not remain silent if the u. s. landlord or a tech gets so very strong worse. but on the other hand, like what has mentioned, i foreign minister seen god. it's also very important to forest, a strong ties with the to the worst you largest economies. french president, manuel, micron and british prime minister regime soon as have agreed to train ukrainian marines tell, give kids forces an advantage in the battle against russia. a statement came and a joint press conference between the 2 leaders in paris. we've agreed to train ukrainian marines helping to give ukraine a decisive advantage on the battlefield and for ukraine to win this war. we will jointly explore the development of complex weapons like air defense, combat and long range weapons will skid. you can. our goal is to help ukraine conduct a counter offensive that

are we going to see another credit crunch? i mean, jerome power at the federal reserve seems to think the answer is yes. well, in the u. s, i think we certainly will. i mean, the, we regional banks, which are generally smaller, although some of them are very big in the u. s. they have been providing a lot of credit, relatively favorable terms. they're gonna scale back there activity. so that will have knock on effect on the whole of us system. there'll be some similar effects in europe. i think some more caution on the part of bangs. and so, you know, credit conditions of the ability to get loans at reasonable rates will become more difficult and that will probably contribute to some slowing in activity which is happening anyway because of the, the way that the european central bank has been raising interest rates. so yeah, there will be some effects and here in europe, with what we're seeing at the moment with a would appear investors almost testing out banks to find out which ones do have weakness. where does that go? is there a danger of there being some sort of self fulfilling prophecy here? and actually the behavior

u. s. plays are very decisive role. and the u. s. recognizes that just as it cannot compete with china fairly economically, that it has to resort to these kind of underhanded tactics to try to slow down china's development rather than improving itself. it also recognizes that it cannot engage in these military efforts to contain china on its own and has to marshal what resources it can. i think this is where we see nato coming into play here. but the other thing we have to recognize to, to come back to this idea of changes unseen in a century is that the original logic for nato was to keep germany down russia in the u. s. in. and i think there's a growing awareness in europe and in germany that should germany be kept down forever. and that isn't time for germany to take a greater role. and in fact, a reproach more with russia makes a lot of sense. and i know many german business people that it's very impolitic to say these things, but you know, they recognize the reality of we may be again witnessing and unraveling in a realignment
