so what difference will north stream make to the way gas is to create distributors and europe. well i think the north stream pipeline we allowed security to germany in particular cities goes there and particularly now that libya's gas exports to europe have been disrupted we find that most of europe the storage capacity so about half so it will come just in time we see predictions of european gas increasing by about one point two percent this year and he may go as far as three percent of the beginning of next year it all depends on the economic recovery and once the konami recovery say who will definitely need the natural gas from that pipeline. staying with the pipeline is a long term investment just there are going to be sufficient demand in europe going forward to justify its construction. well the demand will be there particularly because according to the energy information agency fifty percent increase in electricity consumption worldwide he thinks back in over the next fifteen years now we also have all the new gadgets the ipod would be a phone and all those little toys t

so much for joining us tonight for starters obviously europe is still reeling from the fact. that involved in a massive sex scandal had to resign and they're looking for new leadership but does this letter also shake things up a bit does that does it deliver another blow well it certainly makes it not an easy process for them to get christine legarde in charge it's probably still going to happen but it's certainly the bricks stepping forth and saying look we want to deal out of this we want some sort of bargain we want an agreement that we at least permanently will get the next one or some other spot in the organization they want something out of this they're not going to go home empty handed well that's the thing is the brakes are saying that it's been said before when dominique strauss kahn took over that position that he would be the last year and head so did they just hope they are to europe over the break so forget that those statements were made. i think that the thought they had a little bit of a lapse of memory yes but you know europe is doing looking out for it so th

let's begin with the picture in europe. one hour into the trading session so far and indeed the trading week. as you can see, we have a number of the indices down by in excess of 1%. the heaviest fall is coming from the cac 40 and the dax. this sell-off follows the downgrade of the greek debt on friday as well as standard & poors decision to cut its lookout. putting the euro zone debt issues to the forefront of investors' minds for another year in a row. let's take a look at how this is impacting the market. as you can see, the euro trading at 1.4014 against the u.s. dollar and 1.6145 is where the british pound stands and 81.39 is where the yen is trading against the green back. andrew? >>> the european crisis worries that lead to a sell-off across the board here in asia. it's not just europe, though, it's also wall street obviously on friday. its concerns about what's going on in china. we've had economic numberses out thereof as well. there's a whole lot of concerns for investors here at the moment not to mention commodit

will have the world bank and europe. i'm sure the europeans would convince all leading thinkers on the matter that at this juncture you still need someone familiar with the problems of the eurozone the euro is the french finance minister christine legarde and while europeans hail her as one of the strongest economists in the euro zone some remain skeptical about her progress and christine legarde complex. they're. more of the same as long as they can sustain it's not obvious you know. the. default. perhaps even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain but the trend is for them to continue to try greece's debt is what i mean unfortunately are too far ahead and soon to find themselves in a very similar situation the person asking why must there be you know the help and what happened to promises of friendship basis some at first seem to have short memories i think but if christine does get the job i think it will be a trio of be. only a few months ago had said that and that they should be a change in the global or

obviously the news from europe is not very encouraging. slow down in china, so there are so many signals, if you will-- some of them positive, some of them negative-- and there are more negative signals than there are positive. >> reporter: china is now almost literally driving world oil demand, and manufacturing there fell to its lowest level in 10 months. platts also reported chinese oil consumption grew less than expected. factoring all that in, traders sent the price of oil down almost 2.5% today. that move means americans could be getting what they asked for-- cheaper gas, perhaps as low as $3.50 a gallon by june, though long-time oil analyst phil verleger thinks it could go even lower. >> whereas we were looking at $4 a gallon a week ago, we could be looking as low as $3 a gallon by july 4 if things slow down. >> reporter: and because americans are switching to conservation mode, driving less and buying smaller cars, verleger sees a lasting trend. >> we are going to see a softer petroleum market for probably the next year or so. >> r

europe is at a cross roads. if it wants to keep on board the weaker countries, the countries like ireland or greece and ensure they remain part of the single currency, the richer countries are going to have to help them and there's going to be more unions in the form of federal... probably common bonds being issued, fiscal transfers and things like that but that concept is still very scary to many europeans both in countries like germany and even in places like ireland so in some ways if europe is is not willing to accept more union and more coordination, then you will see potentially more fragmentation going forward. >> brown: ken rogoff, that goes to there's been a lot of commentary of course about an economic and potentially political split within europe of the mostly northern countries that seem to be coming back and getting stronger and mostly southern countrys that are not. do you see that happening? >> well i think gillian tett framed it very well saying there's just enormous uncertainty. i think the most

gazprom his main mission in europe at the meeting with the european commission was to get a priority status for its future gas pipeline project south dream it's a rival project the u.s. backed now cooper pipeline already has such status and it is important because it makes all the bureaucratic procedures easier and it also gives those to operate to in exceptional rights to be the owner of the pipeline and of a distributes a gas symbol to sleep and this is exactly what gazprom needs to feel secure with its investment into the project so gas prom served to the physical it's a start it for the project is completed and gas supplies for it are guaranteed and the european commission in its turn placed its a poor and said it won't impose any unnecessary bureaucratic barriers for the project but still it hasn't given it an exemption from this new european and their jewels. let's take a look at the markets not all just about one hundred dollars a barrel sending energy companies in the standard and poor's five hundred up one point four percent investors are waiting on the results of the us wha

let me give you details on where we stand in europe. clearly this debt crisis is, again, dominating everything on the financial markets. more than's market sell stems largely african creased fears that greek bailout repayments will have to be extended or restructured. on friday, the ratings agency fitch pushed greece further into junk territory. that prompted a rise, naturally, really in greek bond yields pushing ten-year rates to their highest level. the greek government is fighting the tide by announcing an asset sale with stakes in domestic corporations, et cetera be up for grabs. with greece struggling to recover its repayments, fears naturally extend to ireland and portugal. it's unlikely that one country could get dispensation without the others demanding to follow sut. in times of turmoil, contagion does not discriminate. >> this is where it could get critical in the euro zone. we talk about portugal, ireland and greece, the peripheral economies. there are big economies, i'm talking about italy and spain which are threatening to

that is not a crisis for europe. if we could do proper burden sharing in europe, we would not have this problem. you just mentioned the figures yourself. you never got excited about these figures previously. you talk about article 78, paragraph three of the schengen agreement. i wonder whether you know about it? it says if you have one or several member states who are confronted with an unexpected pressure of third country nationals coming into this country, then you may take measures. a proposal should be tabled by the commission and put to the council after parliament. bearing in mind in 2006 women had the world cup for football, we decided to introduce certain measures to deal with border controls. there is absolutely no reason why we should cave in to the populist approach of the head of state of two particular countries. they have tried to find a different solution. we should not support them. what actually happened, president of the commission? indonesia, that all speak french, -- into an issue, that all speake

really hard for you we are looking here at all russia is no europe is not old europe richer represents two thirds of the overall economy can eastern europe and central asia so it's are not often the case since it represents a province which was between four and five and one percent which is much higher than in western europe or central europe today it is less prevalent than in ukraine it's less pronounced in a studio but it is high and it is necessarily high and it's possible to prevent a lot of these cases of transmission when you says see a necessary high does that mean that if we put more money in more attention to the matter with me cope the program with me will meet for it it is there to really move in and says it is possible to reduce transmission. and countries of. in africa which have far less possibilities and russia have shown it is possible so it's possible with good prevention is possible with increased access to treatment is possible by addressing the population most at risk. and we know in these countries it is mostly drug users who are most at risk of getting a trophy by

head of the brussels office of the europe think tank mr kept good evening from moscow at the moment there are only two e.u. members france and the u.k. which are permanent represented on the security council so this person doesn't this proposal makes sense than really so the rest of the union can have their say as well speak as one unified voice. you know if it doesn't make sense not a good idea for you to be in the security council the u.n. security council is meant to contain only those foreign powers in the world that matter and so when you say your members go. well that's actually that's quite correct in terms of foreign policy power is still very much a member state level but there is france there is the u.k. and we've seen the libyan crisis that's you hasn't been very relevant at all ok i mean how does this proposal if it was to happen going to be welcomed by france and britain because they may risk losing their particular individual seats on security council therefore i guess along with it their political clout now going to go down really well but on the same for them is it.

tacking away from europe. right before the financial crisis hits it was clear to the turks were never wanted by the europeans but the turks moved away first and they still have big economic ties but from a geopolitical perspective i would say he's anticipated this reasonably well. into >> ian makes the point that erdogan had some foresighhere. maybe, maybe not. i think he was more interested in his domestic political calculations. but two the extent that egypt is moving in a direction that reflects to some degree turkish foreign policy over the last few years, that will necessarily diminish turkey's leadership role in the region. arabs will lk increasingl cairo should the egyptians continue on this path of diverging from the mubarak period and diverging from the united states and israel. arabs will look to cairo. the natural place for regional leadership rather than ankara. so it may, in fact, be the case that erdogan had foresight here but it hasn't bought him anything now that we are in a much-changed region
