The US has announced it is to significantly boost liquefied natural gas supply to the EU. The move is a bid to help reduce European reliance on Russian energy in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine, and we explore to what extent the deal will achieve that aim with Dr Aura Sabadus of Independent Commodity Intelligence Services. And the 大象传媒's Adrienne Murray reports on a new pipeline that will carry natural gas from Norway to Poland. Also in the programme, Poland has taken in more than two million Ukrainian refugees as a result of the recent conflict.
