The views expressed on this podcast are those of

the participants, not of Reuters News. This week, we're delving into Europe's energy crisis.

Welcome back to the Views Room, the podcast from Reuters breaking views where columnists from around the world talk about the big stories of the week. I'm your host, Amy Donlin, coming to you from London.

Europe's hopes of tackling soaring energy prices were dashed this week when Russian President Vladimir Putin cut off the gas supply, sending prices into the stratosphere. So as the

winter looms large, what are countries like the UK and across the continent doing to alleviate

the pain on consumers and businesses? Is there hope that the steps that some countries are taking

will help create better energy security? And when will Russia begin to feel the squeeze of this lost revenue?

Tune in as I speak to our oil and gas guru, George Hay, Lisa Yucca, who's been looking at all issues

across the continent, and our Russian expert, Pierre Branson.

There is one big topic that is dominating a lot of the news flow in Europe, and that is energy.

And to be more specific an energy crisis, here to speak to me about what's happening is George Hay,

who covers oil and gas for breaking views, Lisa Yucca, who's been delving into the continent's response,

and Pierre Branson, who can talk to us about Russia.

Well, you're all very welcome.
