i think you need to think separately about oil and gas because natural gas is more balkanize, changes have bigger consequences. the united states has failed to merge as an imported, suppliers have created more competition in europe and together with existing infrastructure, we tend to give europe more leverage and we are not seeing a gap cut off like we did very long ago and of course the united states is not worrying as much about the gas market developments overseas and we didn't have nearly the same kind of alarms have united states been dependent upon importing natural gas. i think that we can speculate as to what the future holds for the geopolitical impact of natural gas around the world, particularly for the united states who emerges as an exporter and the consequences are smaller than the consequences of what's already happened from the united states not being an importer, in part because the question is asia and we have this in place really transform the market. i can talk more about that people would like to. on the oil side, too much of the discussion focuses on whether or

they're a famous group of jewelry thieves, people from the bask balkans and just so happens one of their members escaped from prison in switzerland last week. they have been credited with stealing $400 million worth of jewels over the last 15 years or so, and as i said, one of their guys managed to escape from flynn switzerland last week, the raid that was around this was brazen, too. actually sprung by accomplices who rammed through the prison sense with effects and armed with ak-47s, overwhelmed prison guards, at least one of which is now undergoing describing counseling because the prison break was so incredibly bold and dramatic. this guy's name is milan poparich. hi is not called a suspect officially but it is either a coincidence or not he managed to escape last week. this gang did not call themselves the pink panthers. but international law enforcement has given them that moniker because some of their stunts have been reminiscent 0 out of scenes from the peter seller series. >> shepard: cannes has become a big cargo. >> those who have cash converge there to be seen and spend money

actually which started in 1918 at the end of the first world war the germans invaded and occupied the balkan -- the bulk of the ukraine and a lot of southern russia. to use it at their -- as the breadbasket. there was working on that in his main objective. >> another one of your books. talk about that. >> probably -- one would say certainly was the military and a psychological turning point. one could certainly argue that the american entry into the war in the summer of 1941 and the russian defense, if you like was probably the turning point. but stalingrad was an astonishing battle, one of the worst urban savageries that one has ever seen in ways that you had these armies fighting in the ruins of normal life. fighting in the cellars in the sewers and everything. of course in a way this actually through the german spirit never used to using their superiority of aircraft and tanks and the mobile warfare. this was very significant because, in fact, they had actually reached their cumulative. i.e., they lost the initiative. and this is where they were then surrounded in a surprise attack by the
