Germany weaning itself off Russian energy

Germany says it's making progress in weaning itself off Russian energy sources in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The government says Europe’s most powerful economy has cut dependence on Russian oil and gas imports by about a third, while coal imports have been slashed by eighty per cent. We hear from Nathan Piper, Head of Oil & Gas Research at Investec. Russia could formally be declared to have defaulted on its debts next week, but will it have much impact on global markets? We hear from Maria Demertzis, deputy director and economist at Bruegel, a think tank in Brussels. Plus Greece has just lifted the Covid Pass requirement for bars, restaurants and shops. We hear from Helena Smith, a journalist in Athens, on how this will help the Greek tourism industry and economy.
