Joten toisin sanoen, tieteellinen vastaus historiallisista teorioista, joita sinä ja muut ovat olleet käsittelemässä jo jonkin aikaa. Ja se loppuu ideaan, että historiallinen kompartmentalointi on niin kiinnostavaa ja väärinkäytöntävästä. Luulen, että on vielä kysymyksiä, miksi ja miten Barbarian ryhmien ihmiset liittyivät Vestin Eurooppaan.

Kliks and views, the modern age of social media and sport, they seemingly go hand in hand. In recent years the world of sport is being reshaped with new formats emerging for quick shareable moments online. From influencers managing sports teams to bite-sized versions of traditional games, like three-a-side football, more sports are fighting for the attention of younger fans. But is it working and is it bringing in the money? Matt Lyons has been taking a look. What is ball league anyway?

Hei, olen Ankur Desai, ja sydäntäisellä 28. aprililla nämä ovat meidän mainit tarinoitamme. Yhdysvaltainen Arab Emirati sanoo, että OPEC ja OPEC+, järjestävät vahvasti Saudi-ledin öljykartelleja. Ukrainalaiset dronestriitit ovat vaikuttaneet suurelta öljyrefinariin Black Seaportin Tuf Tuapselle. Ja tietoja Indonesiaan, jossa noin 15 henkilöä on tullut, kun pitkäaikainen treeni on pysähtynyt järjestelmään Jukatasta.

Also in this podcast, an Austrian man has pleaded guilty to planning a terror attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna nearly two years ago. A member of India's wealthiest family, the Imbanis, is offering to save the lives of 80 hippos threatened with being culled. The animals are currently in Colombia, having been introduced to the country by the late drugs baron Pablo Escobar.

and the family of Kenya's new marathon world record holder prepared to welcome him home. When I saw Sebastian pull ahead, I was so excited. I started celebrating and did not even watch the end of the race.

The United Arab Emirates says it's leaving the group of oil producing countries OPEC and OPEC plus after six decades. In a statement, the UAE described the decision as being part of its long-term strategic and economic vision. The decision is being seen as a heavy blow to the groups and their de facto leader, Saudi Arabia, as the war on Iran continues to cause major disruptions to energy supplies. Our business reporter Jonathan Joseph explains what it means for global oil supplies.

It's going to lessen the grip of OPEC on the global oil market. OPEC is a group of 12, soon to be 11, oil producing countries that control around a third, perhaps a little bit more, of the global oil market. They decide how much oil they're going to put onto the market and therefore that has a major influence in terms of supplies. But of course America and Russia are also up there

America is the world's biggest oil producer still, so it also has a lot of clout. But OPEC without the UAE will have less influence. UAE is a significant exit for OPEC because it's one of the few countries in OPEC that has a significant amount of spare capacity, which means that it can...

respond to global events, that it can change how much oil it's pumping out. It has obviously planned to do more. We've had a statement from the energy ministry, which is talking about this exit is going to happen on the 1st of May, and it will help meet the changing demand in the global economy. Obviously prices have been elevated because of the Iran war, trading at more than $110 a barrel for most of the last week.

which is significantly above where they were before this conflict began. This statement also saying that the country, the UAE, is going to gradually ramp up its production. John Svakianakis is the chief economist at the Gulf Research Center. He gave his reaction to the development to Lucy Hockings. This is huge and clearly highlights the tension that has existed for quite some time between the UAE and OPEC and specifically Saudi Arabia.

This is a moment of tension for also the relations between the two countries. A lot of people expected, at least those in the energy markets, that the UAE would decide at some point. There was a lot of rumor over the last year or two years that the UAE is going to exit. They finally did it. I think the justification is the war. And now it's the time for them to go at it alone.

Tämä tarkoittaa, että OPEC on todennäköisesti Suomessa ja muissa maissa. Tämä on tärkeä muutoksi. Tämä on iso muutoksi, mutta kun puhutaan UAEista, mitä se nyt suunnittelee? Mitä se tekee? Toivottavasti lisäämään tuotantoa, John?

Absolutely, Lucy. They already invested huge amounts of money, upwards of $150 billion, to take production now to 5 million barrels by 2027. But they have a plan to extract more oil off the ground to take capacity to 6 million barrels, which means that Saudi Arabia, which has a capacity of 11.5 million, is going to be a contender. And they will pump more oil, which means that more supply.

Ja se tulee olemaan ongelma. Mutta UAE haluaa selkeästi saada öljyä, hyödyntää siitä ja saada opetuksia opetuksen osallistumisesta ja on ollut osallistumassa jo pitkän ajan Suomessa kohdalla.

Eli tämä tarkoittaa vähemmän paikkoja?

This potentially could lead to lower prices. Once we get out of this unbelievable crisis, which is creating huge demand destruction, over the years the UAE will push for more production, absolutely, but for now we're going to stay at these elevated and even more so high oil prices as the issue of Iran and the Iran crisis continues. John Sakianakis, the chief economist at the Gulf Research Center, speaking to Lucy Hockings.

Staying with oil and in Russia, the Kremlin has accused Ukraine of destabilizing global energy markets after renewed drone strikes caused a huge fire at a Russian oil refinery. Ukraine has targeted the facility in the Black Seaport of Tuopse several times this month. The attacks have badly damaged the environment with thick black smoke billowing from the site. Ukraine says it strikes energy facilities because they fund Russia's continuing invasion.
