European countries are investigating two Russian gas pipelines that have leaked into the baltic sea near Denmark and Sweden

The Nord Stream carries gas from Russia to the rest of Europe.

Governments around Europe are being cautious to not rule out sabotage… as evidence so far suggests it has been physically damaged.

But U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says it would be ‘in no-one’s interest’ to damage this essential energy source.

The leaks have led Denmark to restrict shipping in a five nautical mile radius…. while in Sweden, the country’s prime minister says the leaks are seen as deliberate acts.

In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters “No option can be ruled out right now.”

Both pipelines have been crucial talking points in an escalating energy war between Europe and Moscow.

It’s sent gas prices soaring around the world as countries race to find alternative energy sources.

Nord Stream itself says “its not possible to estimate a timeframe” to fix the leaks.

Movers were spotted clearing out the studio of Jimmy Kimmel Live, fuelling speculation about the future of the late-night program. The show was abruptly suspended after comments Kimmel made about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

CNN is reporting that ABC may reinstate Kimmel on air, but only if he “lowers the temperature” of his commentary. That condition has sparked debate about free speech, corporate influence and the fine line between humour and controversy in late-night television.
