EU opposes German energy plan

Available for over a year

EU Leaders have told the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz his $200 billion dollars energy support plan for businesses and households threatens European unity. We hear from Lundquist Neubauer from energy price comparison website, Verivox, who tells us how it's affecting customers, and Chief Economist at Germany's Berenberg Bank Holger Schmieding tells us how it's playing out politically. We get the latest from Pakistan, which is facing a health emergency as hundreds of thousands of people live in unsanitary conditions with no clean drinking water after floods devastated the country. Ayesha Salma, Group Head of the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund tells us what the situation is like there on the ground. How would you like to work on a remote island in the Antarctic? We speak to Lucy Bruzzone, who is doing just that with 3 others, when they travel south for 5 months to sort mail and count penguins in temperatures as low as -30C.
