the unique part of this deal is you are passing gas that is not going to western europe now, so it isike the russians are diversifying away from europe with the same pot of gold. they've got another pot of gold that they have not been tapping. >> adam, that is the key point. >> that is it that way when i wanted to ask you, ryan -- is there any risk to european supply based upon this new gas that is going to china? >> there is a theoretical risk. first of all, in context, the amount of gas at the russians have disagreed to supply china's about 1/5 of what they are already supplying western europe, so if the western europeans would have magically found a way to diversify completely away from russian gas, which is extremely unlikely, let's see what happens with lng in europe, then the rest of the would still need a lot more than this deal, but it certainly helped them and sends a message to western europe. >> ryan, i want to broaden this out. does this natural gas deal paved the way for russia and china to find common ground on other issues? maybe political borders, for instance. >> i th

for most places that is eu's biggest single achievement, the fact it broke down the eastern and western europe the issue now is a lot of economic issues involved in elections. a lot of people in europe want to know what the union going to do about ukraine. places like poland and baltic state, they're looking over their shoulder with concern. >> okay. chris morrison, warsaw, and matt. thank you both very much indeed. both of those may day rallies. >>> let's bring you breaking news we're just getting in about the missing flight mh 370 which went down beginning of march. the authorities are now asking all relatives of those passengers to return home. we're hearing the malaysian authorities and malaysian airlines are closing down those daily briefing centers for those relatives of those missing passengers over the next week. even though the search continues. the australian authorities have been saying they'll continue in the search for wreckage. hopefully the black boxes. there's a new phase. no new aerial searches. the underwater searches will look at the underwater terrain. >>> we brought you th

let's talk about the main market in western europe at the moment. what do you foresee demand levels like over the rest of the year? >> western europe is, let's say from a volume point of view, the market is in small decline, probably 1%, maybe 2%. but in value terms it's slightly up, the beer markets in general, we are doing well. we've done that three years in a row, we've gained markets across western europe. we believe we'll see more of the same. if you talk about profitability in western europe, that's driven by the fact we change, how we work, our business model. we do value management to optimize our investments. so we can really drive profitability in western europe despite maybe from a volume point of view, the market is not growing. and asia, it's still a growth region. we don't see a big change in ourationen markets compared to last year with the exception of vietnam where the economy is not great and therefore, the beer markets in vietnam is not fantastic but apart from that, i would say we'll see more of the same in '14 as we saw in '13.

obviously focused on this -- off the back, again, of the tensions between europe and -- certainly western europe and russia. looking at these individual stories within europe about ways that these countries, european countries, can wean themselves off, if you will, of russian gas. remember, a third of europe's gas basically comes from russia. so as europe tries to wean its way off, it makes you wonder now if russia will sort of go, you know, don't buy our gas. that's not a problem. we've got china. a $400 billion -- >> there's always going to be a market for the energy, isn't there? >> that's a thing. >> they realize they can turn another direction. >> that's very true. >> it's also a reality western europe knows it cannot depend in the way it used to think it could on a short flow of that energy. >> they're worried, if you will, the tensions still, we've seen in the past where russia has turned off the taps over spats with ukraine, for example. turned off the taps with ukraine and then that has that knock on effect to the rest of europe. a very interesting story. look, the details are still com

int comes amidst talk western europe about diversifying away from russian gas supplies. though the prime minister says he is not really taking that too seriously, because he doesn't europeansat western have a viable alternative. have a listen. is not because we don't attach much importance to the statements. first off, every country or group of countries, including the european union have the right to diversify their source of supply. that is true. we don't attach much importance to that, simply because there is no viable alternative to russian supplies. we just happen to think that we as a major energy supplying power should have an opportunity to deliver gas not only to europe but to asia. i wouldn't look for any politics in that era to have no doubt that supplying energy to the asian pacific region holds great promise in the future. we have enough capacity and enough gas to send supplies to both the eastern and western roots. worst-caseat the scenario, purely theoretically, any undelivered european gas supplies can be sent to china by the eastern route. again, this is

was some time ago when ukraine began to immerge with the focus that we now have, that the western nations in europe who have an economic relationship with russia would have the same commitment that we would. >> this goes back to my point about the cold war and the interconnects. all the western european nations, in fact all the nations have some connection, whether energy, natural gas, to the russian economy and russia to their economy. but this is a two-way street. there are consequences both ways on this, too, and i think president putin has a pretty clear understanding of that. but secretary gates' question is very legitimate. it's something i talk about when i meet with my nato colleagues, it's something that my predecessors, panetta, rumsfeld all talked about, the western european nations will have to do more in their own defense, that means collective security in nato. some are. but what's happened here, back to my point, the russian's actions in ukraine has been in churchill's immortal words the jarring gong of an awakening here that is starting to at least focus these european nations a bit

so that group of countries can't really on their own take down the german economy and western europe.ermany is the linchpin for the whole wepsern european economy, and because they are doing so well now, we're getting a more lively recovery in the euro zone in europe than we might have expected. again, what really can wreck it up would be if the geopolitics and nastiness gets too testy, and there are moves of desperation by either side. then anything that would cut the supply of oil or divert it away from europe, to some other place like china, for example, and the same with natural gas, would -- would -- that is the real threat. not the russian recession and the damage -- some damage to exports. the real threat is whether this fight gets to be a mean fight. >> we just showed a graphic of a number of german companies among them siemens, volkswagon, deutsche bank, these are companies that are putting pressure on angela merkel and the west to not harm their interests. and by the way, as david described the german economy is plugging along quite nicely despite all of the efforts by other

in other countries in western europe, they are forbidden. >> liquified natural gas, that's the way to ship it. why have we not got the ability to export that in place in the united states? >> it's a perfect case of why they made long-term economic forecasting applicable. the only way you do long-term forecasting is to make astrology look respectable. 10 years ago the broadest people told us north america was running out of the natural gas. we new the shale gas was there, but didn't have the economic incentive to get it out. going inside of 10 years going from we need to import lick weified natural gas, so licences were to import lng into the united states. in 10 years we go from "we have to import to be have to export." >> that will mean it's not just an american resource if everywhere can get their hands on it. will we see an increase in natural gas and electricity as a result. >> you brought up an excellent point with regard to after the winter. we see what happens when there's demand in the winter that there was a pull back in supply this year. now, if you do not allow the extra ga

professor reed, do the countries of the caribbean have a case against the country of western europe? i should start by saying this is hardly my area of expertise, but reading it from the standpoint of a layperson in this regard who understands the history, yeah, i think there is a plausible claim. the harms were done. i think it's also--i think this may piggyback on something that the professor said. more directly the claims are linked to actions of former colonial overlords, basically. it's my understanding as well that some africa nations also made similar cases about the extent to which they are maybe legal proceedings under consideration. from that standpoint, i hasten to say that i'm not so sanguine to compare the african-american case to the caribbean case. >> it's all part of the human condition. powerful people exploit less powerful people, and it's always been so. >> i don't know if it's part of human condition but it's part of the social form that we've lived under, and it's taken shape in ways that it has produced us in the world system. slavery, while particularly egregio
