key the family had let it be known that they weren't going to have a big fanfare and news conferences photo calls all of that kind of thing and all they've done because of their wishes to to do it that way has issued a couple of statements and i can give you snippets from those statements first of all matthew himself who said that not seen or read much of what's been written over the past few days but daniela tells me the support has been incredible thank you so much to the british embassy and the foreign office for their efforts in ensuring i arrived safely back home his wife daniella said that i hope you can all understand that matz and i as well as the family really need some time to process everything that we've been through no one should ever have to go through what he did and it will take him time to heal and recover he's very overwhelmed but to say we're happy is an understatement and just finally jeremy hunt who is the foreign secretary has gone on social media twitter and tweeted the following welcome home as hedges the

6:09 pm
his was it was some kind of spy for britain the u.a.e. on the other hand said that the evidence that they found on matthew's laptop and a confession that he apparently signed and also some snippets of video that they played out of context i have to say that the snippets were so short you couldn't actually see what the proceeding parts and the after the parts were but they were played at yesterday's news conference announcing that he was being pardoned so the u.a.e. is able to stick to its line he's not clear that he's not been found not guilty he's been pardoned and the british are able to stick to their line but the sum total of all of that is matthew is free paul thanks very much. the future of afghanistan will be debated over the next two days at an international conference in geneva led by the afghan president ashraf ghani the u.n. the u.s. and international partners will discuss how they can help bring stability to the

6:52 pm
of the tunisian government the position of civil society story does show that. if he is welcomed by the government that in a civil society refuses that we approach several politicians and m.p. used to find any who openly support the visits but none wanted to appear on camera possibly because it appears the popular opinion is so against welcoming the saudi royal. item or had be we shouldn't be welcoming him if it were up to me i wouldn't let him into my country and the people are against him he's coming to tunisia to clean his image as they are going out of his way and i don't know why this visit is happening he said for economic reasons i don't know but i'm against it too nice should not side with this man. oh us media are reporting donald trump's son in law pushed department of defense officials to inflate the value of arms deals in saudi arabia in order to increase their perceived importance a.b.c.

6:54 pm
a large majority president petro poroshenko says it will start from wednesday north a declaration of war he says more remains of bolstering defenses against aggression from russia but the most will be national applying it is a coastal areas and regions bordering russia. thirty days my more on the premises we have to reinforce our defense immediately so we can quickly react and mobilize all resources in case of an invasion. poroshenko has managed to placate opponents who believes that bhosle law was going to give him a big advantage by limiting political activity in the run up to the presidential elections at the end of march next year right now his popularity is low although there's a long list of world leaders who are giving his support over this crisis nato is
6:55 pm
demanding the immediate release of the ukrainian prisoners held by russia with this warning so there shaha standard stone that its actions have consequences and that's the reason why nato has reacted so firmly against the actions of russia against ukraine over several years and in the u.n. more condemnation of russia we strongly support ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders extending to its territorial waters we express our deep concern over the incident which represent a dangerous escalation and violation of international law russia may have rammed one ukrainian boat opening fire on a total of three vessels injuring sailors detaining all crew and yet it continues to accuse ukraine's president is standing for reelection next year of deliberate
6:56 pm
provocation. this banditry must be curbed and the international community must understand what ukraine is doing we would urge our partners in the security council not to shoulder responsibility for the dangerous conduct of the ukrainian authorities while the current straight maybe common now the combination of ukrainian anger and tension hasn't eased so enter simmons' trying to us live now from care to enter what do we know about these twenty three ukrainian sailors who have been detained by the russians. well we know that they're under arrest they're being held in curch. interrogations going on in actual fact russia has released video of one of the sailors who was interrogated admitting under duress obviously that he had encroached on the russian territorial waters and ignored all warnings from the russians not to proceed now added to this
6:57 pm
now is a line from the s.b.u. that's the training in special so special services security services saying for the first time that it wasn't just gunfire from the russian boats involved in this incident on sunday it was actually two fighter jets used by the russians who which actually fired missiles unguided missiles at the three ukrainian boats injuring a counter intelligence officer seriously injuring him one of the one of the people injured on the boats so this was a fire from the aircraft not just the gunfire from the boats and so what we're seeing now is a build up of information aimed at the russians compelling information it would seem to suggest that this was not a small incident whatsoever and we're seeing more and more pressure being put on
6:58 pm
russia from ukraine now the actual martial law that's been introduced is wall to down effectively is not what the president originally wanted he wanted sixty days of martial law right the way across the country now it's down to a month and it is limited to coastal areas and areas bordering russia what the martial law means is restricted movements will be curfew and that will also be restrictions on the media and a whole host of other issues which caused a lot of political problems within paul. meant they had to be convinced they had to be cajoled along to have to be in agreement which was a watered down lie to all martial law because they were accusing the president the political parties who are accusing the president of working in his own interests towards the reelection he hopes he's got low popularity right now in the presidential elections at the end of march next year. thank you
