president vladimir putin in the kremlin. he's pledged cooperation with moscow for years to come or run and travel to moscow despite hunger. his opposition accusing him of betraying national interests is maintained friendly relations with put in while ties with the european union have deteriorated. that we're going to take your life to andrew simmons in london shortly. first, let's go to straight to hot out the hamid in ukrainian capital, kia hot. it seems as though kiev is becoming the center of diplomacy for this crisis at the moment. yes, absolutely. it's really a coming and going of leaders on a daily basis to day earlier and. busy we're bullish prime minister has arrived, he has pledged more weapons to ukraine. he also said that he was trying to reach some sort of agreement that would allow poland to supply ukraine with gas a bird. busy british prime minister bars johnson shouldn't be touching down at any
5:03 pm
moment. now he's going to hold meetings with president valid me as it's events keep . and then we will hear from old 3 men in a joint press conference as we understand it. and then there's also the dutch prime minister on foreign minister who are on their way here. they should arrive later in the day. so certainly a flurry of diplomacy and a message coming out from the ukrainians is that as long as this diplomacy is ongoing, the threat is also diminishing prospects of an imminent war and an imminent escalation on the imminent russian invasion are low as long as we're leaders continue to talk auto they. we mentioned before that the president of ukraine is planning to boost soldier numbers by about a 100000, how ukrainians likely to react to that well, these are certain new fine, proud in the ukrainian army these days,
5:04 pm
whoever you speak to will tell you that they do trust the army, now that is better equipped is better trained. it won't be taken by surprise. like what happened back in 2014. and so certainly you would, 5 people who would like that you to actually, i would imagine also you'd have a lot of people who would go and try to be recruited in that are me, you know, if you go around cave and other cities over the weekend, you said you'd find all these set, these volunteer civilians who spend their weekends training militarily to be part of these territorial defense unit, which is now a branch of the military, unequal par with the army, the air force or the navy. i think that would certainly go in the direction that would please ukrainians when he had been saying that the problem is that they haven't been strong enough to be able to stand on their own feet. would it increase the anxiety or the uncertainty about whether there would be an imminent escalation
5:05 pm
or an imminent invasion? i pro, i don't think so because ukrainian kinds of brushes off. they say they've been living with this thread for the past 8 years, and they've been hearing about, you know, this in large scale invasion already in the past several times in never really happened. a certainly, they are concerned. but you know, many people think that it's not going to happen now, or at least what that's what they're hoping. how to thank you very much sense how to, of the, how many talking to us from the ukrainian capital t of let's go to london. and andrew simmons, who's at dunning street, and as hot it was mentioning there, but his prime minister bars johnson heading towards a key f, a prime minister, not short of his own domestic problems. what c trying to achieve in kiev? well, the issue is of course are trying to get more support at to ukraine,
5:06 pm
the u. k. according to the less trust the foreign minister is the biggest provider of armaments and supplies and, and also a whole range of weaponry and to ukraine. the biggest supplier of any other of nato allies. so this is really quite important. he eats where you would say that a prime minister would be feeling refreshed by diplomacy in the face of threats of war. but i would say, that's what johnson's feeling right now. he left downing street with the party gate at hall scandal in his ears ringing loudly. however, in the cabinet meeting he left just before flying out, according to her downing street spokesperson, there was no mention of party gates. the are the parties that have caused police inquiry and an internal inquiry here in downing street by sue gray, a. he was absolutely battered in the house of commons on monday, or by the opposition, and also by many conservative m p. so that aside,
5:07 pm
he now wants a break. he wants to see global britain in fact. and what we heard from, apparently in the cabinet was the chief defense to our family. tony radical. that saying that the situation on the borders of ukraine involved are the number of troops and the number of exercises taking place was on a scale never seen before. and so there are also references from the british that there will be a $119000000.00 of aid going into the military there. and also training support, which is already on the ground or in a number of locations in estonia, there is really a, are also a campaign, a very large campaign by the british at to bring in new laws. and a whole range of them are which will actually target ali galks in the city of
5:08 pm
london who may not necessarily be a part of a repression as they call it. and a means of trying to disrupt ukraine. but just generally strategic action or in terms of how sanctions would be impose. now that legislation that will target oligarchs, target or politicians target the kremlin, it, it's been brushed through parliament and could be law by february, the 12th. let's trust the foreign minister who briefed m. p. 's. or on monday night on this, she actually tested positive, artful coven, 19. she couldn't go on this trip, but she will be taking place part in the talks with the ukrainian president ambrose johnson remotely. that there is a feeling really on board in the foreign ministry here, and indeed, downing street that they may have turned a corner over the fight for political survival to the prime minister. that's
5:09 pm
probably going to be far fetched. people here haven't forgotten. that is no doubt about that conservative m. p 's. although they rallied round on monday night and spoke positively of the prime minister, they were impressed in many areas. you couldn't count necessarily on that. his question now was whether or not the 12 or parties of that which were busting at the hall. a plan for action against covian. all the measures imposed on busting all those measures. those 12 parties are being investigated by the police. that is not going away. a question is, when the please come back with their report, and when su gray can give her full report rather than a sense of one to actually do what was supposed to be on monday. and that is a, a report for judgment day that could be the end for the british prime minister. and some people are describing some of its actions in diplomacy and tackling some of
5:10 pm
the major domestic issues in the u. k. r. r got such as the cost of living, crisis, expenses, expenses of rising energy bills. at these are seen as distractions by some people. according to the downing street, it's back to business, but business isn't the same anymore. there's an angry at rudy angry public out there at the m p. 's the conservative and piece of got a note the fact the popularity of the prime minister could damage the conservative party itself even more in this situation. i do thank you very much indeed. andrew summons bring his up to date from downing street in london. honesty internationals describing israel as an apartheid state because of its treatment of palestinians, the human rights campaign groups as policies of segregation, dispossession and exclusion in israel and the occupied territories. demand demonstrates that palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group. israel's denouncing amnesty his report as false biased and anti semitic. it's not the act of
5:11 pm
violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruel t. under system, the in tree kit evolving administration of control, disposition and inequality. the incredible detail, the bureaucratic vision upon which that sustained is predicated. it's she banality. and that time absurdity that as taken my breath away, there's really foreign minister criticized amnesty international and rejected the report before its release. in the past, amnesty was a respect to the organization. not any more. today it is precisely the opposite. it is in the human rights organization, but just another radical organization which echoes propaganda results serious inter
5:12 pm
checking the facts. instead of seeking the truth and as the echoes, the same lies chilled by terrorist organizations. 5 minutes of serious examination would be enough to know that the so called facts in the report published by amnesty this week are delusional. as disconnected from reality need. abraham has more from a village in the jordan valley when we talk about discrimination. this is one of the places where it can be vividly seen coming to this village of the houses, 2000 palestinians. people here do not have an official entrance and they might get tickets if they used left from the main road. but a few meters away. the israeli government has built a road for the benefit of 300 circulars that live in an eagle is really sacrament. nearby the sacrament, injuries services infrastructure water and palestinian residents say that they have
5:13 pm
just a fraction of that. if any of us are in the little bottle of we've been asking for an official entrance to the village for more than 20 years, there's really police often come to get people ticket. what village doesn't have an entrance? we've been here before the settlement this is part of the reality that palestinians are living under. and this is why many palestinian human rights organizations have been saying that palestinians are living under and is really advertised regime over all these organizations have been facing a lot of pressures by israel to shut them down. and so back to the say that the main aim is to silence them. when we ask for the news, what they think about the growing use of the word, the upper tide by international organization, they say that there are hopeful and that they want the international community to
