u. s. when the polar subs on tuesday that they were prepared to hand over those megs to the us, fly them to a u. s. a base in germany for the us take responsibility off them and then transfer them to ukraine. and i think it's that methods, but poland was suggesting out of the blue, apparently, to, to, to the u. s. which has got the us so concerned because if you think about it, what does that mean? that means and potentially these megs would fly from ramstein base and germany us at a base in germany and other nature i remember. and they would fly by pops about ukrainian pilots, perhaps into a theatre of conflict contested as space over ukraine and pops immediately, get into a firefight with russian jets. what. what does that make? rubbish? i database that makes it a staging ground for the conflict for, for the, for the ukrainian tackled on russian on russian, russian jets. that means it's a direct participant in the one thing we keep hearing. the one thing you've already mention of the u. s. as it doesn't want to be a direct participant, nature says it doesn't want to be a direct participant in a shooting with russia th

u. s. president is having with his counterparts from the united kingdom, italy as well as france and germany. this is not uncommon for the u. s. president to consult with partners and allies. it's something he's been doing since the russian invasion of ukraine. and so this would be one of many factors that he would be consulting with as part of the ongoing process of coordinating with allies, particularly since the ramifications go beyond just us russia relations, a is certainly strong rhetoric on the part of the united states. but russia alleges that there has been a kind of a tit for tat in that rhetoric. i also saying that on the part of the united states, when joe biden called vladimir putin, a war criminal at the initial reaction, was that if this was unacceptable unforgivable rhetoric on the part of a head of a state, bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world, so their argument is, is that the united states really is in no position has no moral high ground. the united states, on the other hand, is accusing war crimes, given the fact that it alleges that it is civilians that are being targete

you look at the car industry that is still strong in germany, that that's attract a lot of investment. that just last week we heard from for the u. s. car maker that they're going to put to another $1000000000.00 investment into production in germany. we also hear from tip makers, so that is also part of the broader car industry story that we will see some investment into, for example, putting $900000000000.00 into it, ship manufacturing as tight in mach to bark. and i guess it's no coincidence that also a lot of this money goes to the eastern part of germany. labor might be a bit cheaper there also land. so real estate might be less a problem than in other parts of germany. and then also if we think about the high degree of automation that we do see in today's industries, labor is not such a big factor as it used to be in the parts. but overall it is mainly there still strong german, a car industry that does attract a lot of investments that it we, bas battery makers, chip makers, or car companies investing into germany itself. okay, and scott, a in new york. thank you very much. rang as your effect return to ukraine, now, my phar

saudi arabia, that they will only sell their oil in dollars. suddenly germany and japan need us dollars and there for where the u. s. was able to buy anything from germany and japan, give them the dollars, just have this debt. and they can use because they wanted the dollars to buy or so it's a very small move now by president putin, to create demand for the ruble. because if the west suddenly needs rouble to pay for this, this is exactly what america did in 1971. and so i think it's a clever move makes sense. and how much do you think it will help rushes economy currency? well, it's mainly aimed at stabilizing the currency, which is exactly what the us did in $71.00 because essentially they printed dollar like crazy. and. ready late sixties and the dollar was beginning to weaken. europe, particular france was asking for gold instead of dollars from america to convert at the us dollar, which was convertible to go to gold and the americans didn't like that. and they suspended compatibility. and then the dollar crash, and this was the measure to stabilize it. so what we saw, of course, recently is that the russian ro

germany. in particular, of course, worried about its energy security. while prices may rise uncomfortably for u. s. consumer. so there's little chance of the lights going out in the u. s. i don't think the same could be said for, for, for many in western european straits. to what extent does germany have only itself to blame due to deregulation of his energy sector, allowing russian companies to hold or own significant stakes in german energy companies in germany is not alone. and that is it. now there's been some pretty important changes in european gas markets in recent years. i mean, the basically moved away from, you know, long term wind contracts towards more gas gas competition, more reliance on the spot market short term. and that worked pretty well for a while. and, you know, the market is essentially broken in the last 6 months, and in fact, these enormous ramos, and gas and electricity prices in your, you know, the dependence on russia is really hard to break. but there are some european policies. so we think of exacerbated the situation. one of the things that the international energy a

i think that the european union, i'm not fond of that, as well as germany and the u. s. b, for boy would like to see from by clearer and more precise sanctions placed on russia that our model under 1000 of they ensure that disrupt the situation is very, very different than many you might have expected. the impact of these factions is greater than any one might have predicted, and it really is directly impacting on russia and so on. and then we're doing it because we want to ensure 1st a ceasefire. and then we've got an end of this violence and some kind of agreement that both sides consign to change their situation. now we need to remember that we're not negotiating on behalf of ukraine when we speak with putin with we do it. it's true for me for the french president, and i understood that that is true for the turkish headers the day as well as the israeli had to stay and, and for many others as well. look, we are acting in order to help ukraine, but of course, ukraine fine must make the decision as to what is right to moving forward. for ukraine. the school would be presumptuo

u. s. is offered to compensate by increasing energy supplies to germany. for example. this is a very short term measure and is not going to be helpful. sanctions are in fact a very, very precarious weapon to use. they can be used selectively, but generally used only to bolster public opinion in the imposing country rather than in the target country. that makes the country's feel good is, or they've done something shorter war, that the reality is that they have an intended consequences. and russia has already, after years of experiencing sanctions, particularly the democratic party government in the united states has found ways around that and actually strengthened its economy as a result of these sanctions. what we've seen the members of the new parliament giving the standing ovation for the ukrainian president, please, to join the block. do you think a decision on that has already be, may been made or do you think reality is going to turn out to be more complicated? well, the decision has been made already big because of the rules of the european union itself. there's
