The European Commission has outlined a strategy to try and stabilise gas prices in the EU. We find out more from Jakob Schlandt, from the energy and climate change team at German daily Der Tagesspiegel. And we get reaction to proposals in the new package of measures to cut carbon emissions from Silvia Pastorelli of the environmental campaign group Greenpeace. Also in the programme, the 主播大秀's Matthew Kenyon reports on a dispute in the Dutch town of Zeewolde, where Facebook's parent company Meta wants to build a massive new data centre on land just outside the town. Nike has announced the acquisition of British startup RTFKT Studios, which makes virtual trainers for the online world known as the metaverse. Richard Lawler of tech website The Verge tells us what's behind the move. Plus, ahead of special coverage tomorrow on the latest Turkish central bank decision on interest rates, the 主播大秀's Victoria Craig explores how challenging it is for people in the country to cope with official inflation above 20%.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Tom Kavanagh and Faarea Masud.
