Description

A blackout in Spain and Portugal exposes the region’s weak point. Europe’s energy security is fragile and facing challenges on a number of fronts. Relying on U.S. liquefied natural gas to plug a Russian supply gap after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine is risky. But what are the alternatives? Host Carmel Crimmins talks to correspondents Marwa Rashad and Riham Alkousaa about Europe’s energy security dilemma. Plus, we hear why some German businesses want to return to Russian gas.
