Why has Russia stopped gas supplies to Europe? | Inside Story

Much of the continent of Europe is facing a difficult winter ahead.

Russia has once again shut down the crucial Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to Germany.

It's raised fears of shortages and possible blackouts in the coming months.

Russian authorities say the pipeline was shut to repair a leak.

But European leaders have rejected this - accusing Russia of weaponising energy in response to the Ukraine sanctions.

So, how will Europe cope with this unprecedented gas shortage?
