As European leaders warned of sabotage to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, Poland and Norway inaugurated a new conduit that will reduce dependence on Russian gas. It underscores the urgency of EU economies' search for new energy sources. Also in the show: correspondents Nick Spicer and Anne Mailliet report on the German businesses being forced to close because of high energy costs, and the pound sterling stabilizes a day after historic losses.

Polish operator PERN said the leak was detected in a section of the pipe around 70 kilometres from the central Polish city of Plock.
Gazprom insists there are no grounds for the fine and says it is a politically-motivated move to please the US government.
