Is stop the gas getting to western europe — that has to flow through the pipelines that come from russia". whether or not he is going to do that, the european response has been compromised. whether to belarus or to russia. well, you konw, the eu is really depending on russian gas — 35% of the consumption comes from russia. and, of course, the three countries that depend the most, more than 50% of their need is germany, france, and italy, and those are very important eu countries, so there is...

Really worried that the ioc will move the games from beijing. arthel: well, i dont want to sidetrack on that. i read that my interpretation of what i read was that the ioc, theyre not too keen on that idea. the winter olympics set to be in beijing, be held there in february. meanwhile though, president biden and xi jinping, chinas president, met virtually last monday, as you know. so, you know, gordon, as dependent as our country is on china for trade, i mean, does the u.s. have any consequentia...

And supermarkets you are buying fuel all the time and we have said this consistently at the rac that this effective rocket and feather and prices going up extremely quickly when wholesale markets going up or dropping really slowly when prices are going down and given what you said in the intro there we know there is a huge amount of pressure on household finances going into this winter particularly with high inflation, high domestic energy prices as well. we really think it is notjustified retai...

Passing federal voting rights protections. the urgency is clearly there. will congress listen? what might push the senate to act, and when could it happen? >> well, you know, i think its unfair to think that all of the work has to be done by the president. he certainly must do everything he can to encourage, to leverage, to get what needs to be done, to insure that voting rights are protected, but its really for the most part, its on the republicans. they have not only pursued every effort all o...

That this effective rocket in feather and prices going up extremely quickly when wholesale markets going up or dropping really slowly when prices are going down and given what you said in the intro there we know there is a huge amount of pressure on household finances going into this winter particularly with high inflation, high domestic energy prices as well. we really think it is notjustified retailers to hold on to the amount of extra money they�*re making at the moment. the prices do seem ...

Isn�*t there often a lag, though, between resale prices catching up with wholesale and they could explain away that way? i think that was the case if they were buying fuel on a sporadic basis. smaller retailers who don�*t top up that often perhaps bring in new fuel deliveries every fortnight or so but if you�*re one of biggest retailers or supermarkets you are buying fuel all the time and we have said this consistently at the rac, there is this effect of rocket and feather, prices going up...

Olympics to put any priessure o china and its awful human rights abuses. same thing here. the winter games are going to be in ten weeks starting february 4th. the ioc once again seems to be so meek, taking a meek and pathetic path to dealing with china. they have power, it is the olympic games, there is leverage in the ioc. and we have seen the wta show the ioc, basically take them to school on this and say look at what happens when you punch the bully in the mouth, punch them in the face and in...

>> so ill get to the olympics in a moment, but first, let me ask you, what do you think is happening with peng shuai. president biden has said he wants verifiable proof of her safety. what, if anything, can the u.s. do here? >> well, these are all disturbing issues and i join with president biden in helping to see concrete proof that peng shuai is okay. this is very disconcerting, and we should all be very troubled, those who care about human rights, and the fact that her safety could be comprom...

We would like, actually, to hear, like, a video from her, or something. like real proof that, yes, shes all right. the eyes of the world will be on beijing in february for the winter olympics. but so far, the international olympic committee is only saying this requires quiet diplomacy. the ioc must fulfil its claims and responsibilities in this i case, and demonstrate that athletes really are at - the heart of sport. it has significant leverage and influence to exert - in this case, especially- ...

Bill that people will see and that was one of our criteria when the progressive caucus was itemizing what were our top priorities and they all made it in here. to get things that people would feel immediately. for senior, prescription drug pricing, jim. this is absolutely essential. we are finally going to begin this necessary process to cap the cost of insulin to $35 instead of paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars for insulin and for other drugs. so the benefits will accrue to people quickly...
