Britain wants changes that include curbs on welfare | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Those are the latest headlines from BBC World News. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Now for the latest financial news with Sally | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
The EU outlines its energy strategy for the coming years, | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
And, we take off to find out what's on offer at the Singapore Air Show, | :00:20. | :00:29. | |

The price of oil spikes on rumours | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
Saudi Arabia may be meeting with Russia today to talk about supply. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
It's that time of the year when people in Eastern Europe get nervous | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
What if Russia's Gazprom closes the gas pipelines, | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Guaranteeing secure gas supplies is one of the European | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
The EU imports more than half of all the energy it consumes. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
For oil, it imports more than 90% and | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
The total import bill is more than one billion euro per day. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Many countries are also reliant on a single supplier, for some, | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Russia is their only gas supplier making them highly vulnerable | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Today, the European Commission will announce its long-awaited | :01:23. | :01:37. | |
Jeremy Howell looks at what it's likely to contain. | :01:38. | :01:59. | |
One of Europe's greatest fears, freezing in winter. Almost all of | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
the gas is piped through Ukraine. When Russia has cut it off in the | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
past, other countries in eastern and central Europe have also been left | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
in the cold. The European Union wants to counter this by opening up | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
the gas market,. In the Ukraine's gas problem locking out other | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
countries where it is the dominant supplier. The EU says we used to | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
much anyway. By 2030 it wants us to be burning one quarter less than we | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
do now. By the EU has to strike the right balance. Energy firms say if | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
it falls too far they may not bother exploring new gas reserves. -- But. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
That, in turn, would put gas supply of Europe in jeopardy. -- the gas. | :02:52. | :03:03. | |
With me is Tom Marzec-Manser, the Editor of the Daily Gas Report | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
We think it will have four key parts. Advice on intergovernmental | :03:08. | :03:20. | |
agreements, a strategy on storage in LNG, and a strategy on heating and | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
cooling, energy efficiency. Eastern Europe is very exposed, as we | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
explained. In terms of its supplier, where it is coming from, future | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
shortages, it is getting both sides of Europe on the same level playing | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
field? It is about giving central and east then Europe and Iberia in a | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
sense a leg up in terms of risk management. Northwest Europe has | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
liquid active wholesale markets. That is a tool to manage those | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
potential crises. Whereas these new strategies will give a tool in the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
box for these countries to do that. Looking at new pipelines and | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
regulations to help a co-ordinated approach. It sounds expensive, new | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
pipelines. Is there the funding? There is already 5 billion euros out | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
there for the infrastructure that joins countries together and for | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
building these terminals. Some of that will be used and some is | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
already being used to link up parts of eastern and central Europe in a | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
north-south route rather than East-West. This comes on the heels | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
of the climate change talks last year in Paris. We need to talk about | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
how much we consume. Exactly. Part of the energy union is energy | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
efficiency. That is included in the package as well. The commission | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
would like us to move to a greater use of renewables. Therefore gas is | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
part of that transition. Nevertheless, it has to come down, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
demand. They believe for every 1% made it could fall by 2.6%. That is | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
something we should consider. Watch this space. Thankyou very much for | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
coming in to explain what is coming out in that review later today. We | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
will let you know. Oil prices are | :05:29. | :05:35. | |

the past year due to oversupply. The European Central Bank chief | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Mario Draghi has sought to calm fears about the health of European | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
banks after a European banking stocks have lost | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
almost a quarter of their value But, Mr Draghi said banks were now | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
better protected from a collapse Individual banks | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
and the financial system as a whole are more resilient, he | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
told European Parliament members. Japanese telecoms group, SoftBank, | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
has announced It's aimed at boosting investor | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
confidence after its stock price fell nearly 30% | :06:24. | :06:26. | |

over the next 20 years. Karishma Vaswani is at the show | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
for us. SILENCE. Clearly we cannot hear her | :07:04. | :07:24. | |
at the moment. Technical difficulties. Apologies for that. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Hopefully we can speak to her soon. In the meantime, let me just give | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
you some insight from one of the top chief executives we talked to hear | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
at the BBC. It is called CEO Secrets. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Today, we're going to hear from a woman, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
who has managed to succeed in the male-dominated world of football. | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Isha Johansen is president of the Sierra Leone Football Association | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
and one of only two female Football Association chiefs in the world. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
I am the first female FA president in Sierra Leone and the only female | :08:00. | :08:11. | |
president in Africa. And I am one of two in the world. Now, if that isn't | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
a challenge, what else is? The more challenges that you are able to | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
overcome, the better and the stronger that you get. Challenges | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
should be the main focus for any successful business. I think that | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
this is our time. Women should be able to make up their minds as to | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
whether they really want to push the barriers. There is nothing now in | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
this day and age that is a man or woman's roll. -- role. The financial | :08:50. | :09:02. | |
