russian leader latimer putting on monday western nations are threatening moscow with sanctions. if it invades decreed, or we have to correspondence on this story this, our natasha butler is standing by and give with the latest. but 1st to nadine baba in london, nadeem an important visit by the u. k. foreign secretary to moscow. that's right, sir. and it's so all about sending a message which has been ongoing, which we've heard over the last few weeks from the u. k. on its allies. last week, the u. k. sent to ukraine, an anti tank around 2000 and t or tank weapons. and around 30 military personnel to work with them and armored vehicles now for the 1st time in 4 years, a u. k. foreign secretary is traveling to the russian capital is truss will meet so gay lover off her russian counterpart. and she'll be urging him to try to reach a diplomatic solution to the tensions in the region. let's trust has put out

a statement in the last couple of hours saying we have said many times any further invasion would incur severe costs including through a coordinated package of sanctions. now, as a parallel statement from the a foreign office here says that last week, the u. k announced a new legislation for the strongest ever sanctions regime on russia as it puts it. and so this is all a repetition, really of the message that we heard on tuesday from the german, french and polish leaders urging russia to seek a diplomatic solution, but also committing to ukraine sovereignty. and now a boris johnson, the prime minister, will travel on thursday to poland to meet the president and the prime minister, but also to brussels to the nato headquarters. and he will be telling the polish m, we're sure that as part of may toe, britain stands firm in its commitment to securing erm the, the, the,

the peace and security of countries like poland and ukraine against any potential or russian attack. thank you for that. nadine baba in london. well let's get that the view now from ukraine and natasha butler is in the ukrainian capital kia, i various european leaders, natasha, engage in high stakes diplomacy here. well, what's the view from, from kiev and from the a cray? and how much optimism is there that diplomacy could work we heard from the ukrainian foreign minister a bit earlier after a meeting that he had with the spanish foreign minister who was in the capital for talks about the crisis. and the crating foreign minister said that, look, the situation still remains tens, but things are under control. when he said that diplomacy is continuing to ease

tension. so he's certainly optimistic and i think there's a sense amongst not only ukrainian officials, nor so a western powers that as low as the dialog continues with moscow. there is a reason to be optimistic. now, on tuesday, in berlin, the leaders of germany, france, and poland met they were of course, discussing ways to try and diffuse as crisis. the french president emanuel macro, was briefing them about the meeting that he had on monday at the kremlin, with the russian leader of vladimir putin emanuel mycroft. that meeting seemed to suggest that he had to go, but he had been given, i should say, some assurance from putin that russia would de escalate. but that doesn't seem to be the case according to the kremlin. a spokesman there said, though that wasn't the case. a tool that no deal, no promises had been made. so different version over events. we've seen that a lot over the past few weeks. and what we still have effectively is owed are 2

very different positions. the russians who say that they want to seen end to nato's open door policy. they do not want ukraine to become part of the alliance on the other side, western powers, those say that ukraine has every right to determine its own security needs. it should be sovereign, and of course it's up to them who is a member of nato, and who isn't. and natasha understand that russian and ukrainian political advisors are due to meet on thursday. what can we read into that was a significant meeting, ukrainian and russian senior political advisors, alongside of french and german officials, meeting in berlin along the normandy format of talk, sees a talks aimed at trying to revive the peace process for the east of ukraine. and as significant because in the room you will have russian and ukrainian officials now

it's not a high level meeting, but it is a meeting. nevertheless, that of course, gives all sides some hope that this diplomacy is in some way a working certainly off to the loss, normandy format, meeting 2 weeks ago in paris. all sides came out and said that that meeting had been very positive. 8 hours of talks, in fact, they are hoping for a similar result of this meeting for that kind of feel good factor to continue if you like. but there are differences. as i said, no major breakthroughs are expected bought. the diplomacy continues and look, we were seeing more diplomacy in the coming coming days of boris johnson to visit a poland, the german chancellor to visit both moscow and key of next week. thank you for that . natasha butler live for us in kiev. my japan is sending gas shipment to europe as fears grow of an energy crisis because of the threat of war in ukraine. the supply due to arrive later this monday follows

no illness, you're gonna get america, but the government is renegotiating the agreement and they know they won't be able to pay it. and in 2 years we will have the same problem. we cannot pay back to that amount of money without strangling the poorest. in 2018, the i m f. granted the government of audi, seal markley, their biggest loan in its history, over $50000000000.00. argentina says it needs to recover from the pandemic and wants to pay back once the economy starts growing again. i think it would be the 2nd agreement with high inflation rate. i see the government is hoping to announce a 2nd level agreement in the next month before sending it to congress. people here are extremely concerned about the impact that the agreement will have in their lives. are amina, when seen, he says, she's not concerned about the i m f, but about argentina's economy. inflation is expected to surpass 50 percent this

year. the mileage thus young at the inflation is affecting a small commercial business, is because of the prices. today. you have $1.00 price the next day, another the dollar increases, and it has an impact in inputs in transports. we're scared on it paralyzes us. we just want the uncertainty to and one economy say, an agreement with the i m f is crucial to prevent argentina from being isolated from international financial markets. not been. yeah, i'm with child, got their us, argent, and it has no option. it's either agree with dian, with or default to young men, to default is to re live the christ of 2001 and nobody wants to be in the situation again. and that's why an alternative is better than a default. we see an agreement is a positive step if it hops, argentina increases central bank reserves and stabilize the economy. ah, but these people are not convinced they say the i m f measures have hurt them in the past. and they fear it could happen again. that is, i will,

assignment residency without a judicial a her side. and i think this is of threatened to human rights as we can read in human rights watch report of a president. i said this started 1st to start doing political parties today he's threatening the judges by did solution offer their supreme additionally council and right now with these are be i'd be through a 30, assigning residency, he's really threatening at human rights that he's using these laws in order to go on with his opponent. i think this is a real threatening for human rights to day. bright human rights watch says the exceptional measures granted by the emergency decree of being a use abused by the a government which you seem to agree with who is being targeted specifically. i think he's opponent especially a, another party and also

a kind of good tune is because as we can see, the people who are, who are under or where are right now are under average or be able to reach a sign of resilience, you know, who are people from cartoonist or not the bachelor like a p d. so especially he's a opponent from political parties as we know, president isaiah, who is without a political background, always condemned to a political parties of a corruption. so this is not a surprise to come to them and neither party and the 2 buddhist lo went to execute this. lo, just for his upon in trying political parties. yet present ice, as you mentioned, as has also indicated that his intention to abolish it, the supreme judicial council are this week which ensures edge additional independence and, and western donna donors have expressed concern about this. i'm curious, what about to nations?

how worried are they about the direction in which the country's going well, political parties all, let's say political cd is today. paula rights and fragment are recommended between people who are afar against a for, and against or the president. but let's say people today are waiting for more social and economic a measures and decisions. let's say that mostly people, they are today disappointed because they are not waiting for the dissolution of the supreme digitally. a court are, these are these decisions about the assignment residency, they are now in need for economic and social decisions. so let's say that the political scene is, is fragmented, and this last move came after it was sharper. did you see them on the judges?

healthcare workers in sri lanka have begun an indefinite strike to demand higher pay and a fair system for promotions. only emergency and critical care solved by continuing to work out negotiations where the government fails. and in india, schools in connecticut state in the south have been ordered to coast for 3 days because of anger about a band on muslim girls wearing head scarves. the opposition is accusing the ruling b. j. p of discrimination. what for more on that story and speak to a cabbage krishnan was in you jelly, she is the secretary general of the old india progressive women's association. thank you so much for being with us. as a muslim students are outrageous. what they say is increasing persecution by the hindu nationalist government. first of all, what is your reaction to this headscarf span? the constitution of india allows women to wear heads coughs. why is the state government in karnataka during this? not? not only does the constitution allow women to, there's anything of their choice. the other point is also that not only move simon

and bad head scuff, bedding head scarves though some, but i feel that is very common among the women as well, including things that cover their head or even cover their faces and so on. that has been never, there's never been any question of banding these india. the 1st woman, only woman prime minister covered her head while in public only when president covered the whole had been, she was in public. i'm not saying that the inspector says good or bad, that is not the point. the point is why would one want to ban young women from wearing something which they believed to be in keeping with their faith or their culture or whatever it is. let me to buy into that several of the colleges which have imposed the ban initially had rule which allowed sick men, for instance, men of the sick faith to bad. but as long as it matched the little de uniform, the college uniform call, it has a uniform. likewise,

it allowed women to bad jobs with which match headscarf which match the color of the uniform. so there was no big issue here, right? the issue happened when hindu supremacist looks organized, a violent protest demanding that muslim women be prevented from bidding a job on and saying that if they wished to, where they had job, they should be forced to study in a different college in a different room. and this is basically apartheid which is happening here. india has disappeared. this is governmental cut, not as well as at the center. and unfortunately, this is one of the many attempts to attack them of what is even more concerning here is that several prominent figures of prime minister are under modi's party to be j. p. have actually supported this bad unfortunately, yes, but it doesn't surprise me at all because i want to remind you of you who may not know the context that these in both of the mentors. groups are the same. you know, the self same groups that since 2008 attack women in the same coastal area

for visiting bumps for bedding western clothes, they ballantine day is coming up and the same group will be out on the street at clint. couple levels. what's the thing together and saying that you're not allowed to patronize with somebody who's not your husband and so on. so these are extremely resistive group that has nothing feminist about the objection to the job. they are merely trying to prevent any, you know this, this sink the space a form of limbs and colleges. think of space or for interaction between him too and, and it's not just muslim. they've also been a lot of attacks. i understand on minorities in kind of on christians for example, in the last few months we've seen a tax on churches. why, why are we seeing this real rise in a tax on minorities in this state, particularly? which is, by the way, going by the b j. p. has a b, j,

p government. we are seeing, we are seeing the same thing, a tax on christians and all the states governed by the be including took the good, which is my whole home and several other states into these got to be a senior when we get people as well. so the point i think is that, you know, the hindu so can assist bhakti to which mr. moore, people know, basically believes that in get should be a hindu nation, in which are the identities should remain subordinate to the hindu, the hindu majority. i also want to say here, unfortunately, that on the question of a job, so the christian groups also have and people that you desist and they are supporting, you know, the hindu nationalist of position on this. they can look at this position on the other thing in the same call still got not to go area. there is a campaign run by the him, the simply mrs. supported in part by christian organizations, which says that muslim, muslim men should not be allowed to maddie women who are non muslims. so they,

if they fall in love, you know, if a hindu woman and the man for the love they're calling it loved. if a christian woman falls in love with the muslim man and wants to get married, they're calling it love job. you know, so there's the attempt to enforce the secularized, dis, the segregation, and i, and it's extremely as number for big. it's backed by the speed. unfortunately, even minority groups fall for this other other than having followed ality with other minority groups. and it's a very, very terrible situation. i just want to end by saying that you know, the group that out achieving a bad number, the job to be. let me remind the viewers here that tomorrow they will want to band women from betting west and lot from visiting bob from dancing. because that is all on that agenda. so please do not get taken in by the idea that this objection to the job has anything to do with feminist objections to symbol. because that is not what is going on here. and feminist be support the right of women to in to pick

their religion as they wish, and wet clothes and keeping with their feet right. no matter which feet they belong . i hope your message is heard. thank you so much for speaking to us. covered christian for from the all india progressive womens association. we appreciate your time. a south korea has another record number of cone of iris cases. nearly 50000 new infections were reported on wednesday. the surge is being driven by the only con variant deaths and hospital admissions are still low, but health officials expect them to increase. hong kong, meanwhile, has brought in its toughest restrictions yet over 19 infections have increased to more than a 1000 a day. fresh vegetables are running short because delivery drivers will test positive have been banned from entering. the city on kong now requires people to show vaccine passports before they can enter moles and stores. police in canada, trying to end the truck drivers protests against coven. 19 vaccine balls. part of
