Thanks very much, Leigh Anne, now for today's chart chat, and we are joined by our very own data guru, Eddie van der belt. Eddie, good morning to you. Thanks very much for joining us. So talk us through your charts today. You're looking at paint a picture for us, paint a picture in the year. In the listener's mind, European gas storage is in focus for you. Yeah, absolutely. We're looking at a European gas storage. We comparing by how quickly it's filling up this year compared with previous years. Because that is all part of that German story that we heard. Now, what we saw was that there was a significant drawdown throughout the winter. And flows got to almost crisis levels, but the inflows of the beginning of the summer and early in the spring was, you know, it's very, very fast. We saw we saw storage filling up quite quickly compared with last year and previous years, and we sort of approaching levels that we've seen before. Now, terminal users can see this function by running the NIHR chat or for searching a natural gas in Europe in their terminal. And they'll see that that storage capacity is filling up a little bit. You mentioned this a bit Eddie but let's get into the nitty Gritty details. You talked about how this level compares with previous years. Break down those numbers for us. Yeah, absolutely. So I think that's the key thing. I think because we came from such a low level. The fact that we outstripped the pace of inflows at the beginning of the year, it's almost insignificant because we are only getting back to the average levels now. And we're seeing a little bit of a tapering off. We're seeing it flows coming in at more normal speeds. Early in the year, people were European gas traders were buying gas from anywhere that they can, right? But right now we are seeing the Russian gas flows slowing and they just not at the pace that they need to be. And that's going to be critical as we get to the late part of this year and we move into winter because during those times when we start with a drawdown, you need those flows from Russia to continue. And at the moment there's no sign that that's going to happen. Yeah, there's a lot of focus on what happens in the middle of this month then with this planned maintenance work of Nord stream two. So one of the knock on implications then for the broader European economy oil for the German economy and then beyond we were talking to cast and brisket ING earlier on, he was saying he's got just 1% growth penciled in this year, but they did seem to be downside risk to that estimate. I think it is definitely a headwind for you for European growth. We heard from the German industry saying that this is going to be aluminium glass and chemicals that are going to be heavily affected in Germany. But if you think of the number of industries which either use aluminium or glass or chemicals, and if they can't get hold, if we get another supply crunch, you know, the first thing that comes to mind is
