we still don't know who or what caused damage to the natural gas pipelines that connect Russia to the rest of Europe several leaks were discovered in both the North stream one and North stream two pipelines earlier this week they have since been spewing methane into the Baltic Sea prompting concerns over a potential climate disaster President Biden said Friday he believes the damage is an act of sabotage by the Russians it was a deliberate Act of sabotage and now the Russians are pumping out disinformation lies we work with our allies to get to the bottom exactly what it precisely would happen for more on this let's bring in CBS News Chief Foreign Affairs correspondent and Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan Margaret let's start with your new reporting about the gas leaks what have you learned about the cause well President Biden says there's an offer by the U.S to investigate including sending down divers so that they can actually build evidence to bring the case forward but at this point the assessment is that Russia was behind it and there's a few schools of thought here why would Russia bomb its own pipeline or sabotage its own pipeline it doesn't seem to make sense if you're thinking in a rational actor scenario but there are a few thoughts here one of them is that this could be strategic misdirection one of them is that it could be a warning of further attacks to come on infrastructure including that of the West today Jake Sullivan the National Security adviser said the West has to be ready for more attacks on infrastructure but thirdly and I've had U.S officials raise this to me there is the thought that this could be the Kremlin basically trying to limit its Financial losses Russia was under contract to deliver gasoline gas I should say 2 parts of Europe and by cutting off that Supply it was not delivering on the contracts it had so it was facing potential losses here of anywhere between 10 to 30 billion dollars if they can declare Force Major basically say we couldn't deliver if we tried because the pipeline isn't functioning it may help to get out of that so that's one of the likely scenarios in the view of some U.S officials that is being considered right now and Margaret on the hurricane you have FEMA administrator Criswell and Florida Senator Rick Scott joining the show this Sunday what are you hoping to learn from those guests well we will want to get the latest of course on the ground in Florida in South Carolina and the other areas where FEMA is warning there could be flooding that is one of their greatest concerns when it comes to loss of life we want to talk about a number of things including that tough question Catherine of whether some of these areas should be rebuilt because that is something that our own Ben Tracy has been reported on that strategic Retreat from some areas as they look at more frequent and stronger storm systems Florida's governor Ron DeSantis called us a once in a 500 year level of flooding so we want to talk about that as we look at Federal monies being dedicated to rebuilding is that how this this money should be spent we will also talk to Florida's current Senator former Governor Rick Scott for his view on on what is to come Margaret Brennan thank you thank you and the quick programming note you can watch Face the Nation right here on CBS News it streams at 12 p.m and 4 P.M Eastern every Sunday
