Temporary Russian gas pipeline shutoff worries Europe

Published

Russia has temporarily cut supply of gas from the main pipeline to Germany, worrying several EU nations

Russia has ‘temporarily’ shut down gas supplies in Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline – the main supply line to Germany.

It has sparked fears for energy security in several European nations.

The most recent shut down – however – was scheduled in advance and part of ‘routine maintenance’ during the summer – when gas usage is lower.

It is scheduled to last ten days.

But it hasn’t stopped worries over future prolonged outages.

“Our concerns are growing that Russia is clearly using gas supplies as a political weapon to drive up prices, unsettle markets and spread chaos,”

ROBERT HABECK, GERMAN MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC AFFAIRS

German officials have said they don’t know when Gazprom – Russia’s energy company which has a monopoly on exports – will resume deliveries once the scheduled maintenance is scheduled to end.

A reduction in gas supply is also affecting Italy.

The European Commission is planning proposals in July to determine how EU countries would coordinate rationing of industrial energy and which sectors to prioritise if they are faced with fewer and fewer supplies in the future.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
