9:02 pm
have permanently polluted his reputation and the reputation of his, of his government. and it is clear we discussed this at length. it's clear that what he's doing now, he has suffered or a reverse, but he's retreat is tactical at he's going to intensify the pressure now. all right, let's go more from enron. con was joining us from the ukranian capital key. so this was a surprise visit by boris johnson. tell us more about the significance. offer the support that he's proposing. well the significance of the support is quite simple. actually. it's military aid, a $130000000.00 worth that includes a $120.00 armored vehicles was ukrainians have been awesome full. but it may well include a weapon that the ukrainian se they crucially desperately need in order to keep a desa from having russian forces landon is born. and that's the harpoon missile
9:03 pm
system. that's the land to ship missiles system. the russians are currently blockading several ports within ukraine itself. that'll be absolutely crucial. now there's no confirmation on whether that's actually happened or we're still waiting to see what the details of this deal off. but judging by the language from the 2 leaders, the language has been very warm. it's been very cool. busy congratulate, sorry, on both sides of the primary. the volume is lensky is office saying that he was a true friend, a to ukraine, and that in the time of need, he actually stepped up for a sonton himself. also tweeted saying that he, they had warm regards for his a friend glutamate zalinski. so a big show of support, a big show of military 8 like i say, 100 says he $1000000.00 worth it will be warmly welcomed. however. busy for shelves and does have problems at home,
9:04 pm
and he does have an enormous amount. the u. k has enormous amounts. all russian investment, not just within the city of london itself, the stock exchange, etc. but in london and across the united kingdom, the economy is suffering as a result of the sanctions against russia, a number of russian businessman, law suffering as well. now this means that there is a tremendous amount of price. it's a lot of those russian business. when all supporters clearly of the tory party, so there is a fine line he needs to walk when it comes to this. but right now he's showing a show a showing a strengthening relationship between ukraine and britain. and the fact that he come here speaks volumes itself in his way of saying we are here for the ukrainian people. but it's worth remembering $113000000.00 worth of a military aid yet. britain is that the country has taken the least amount of ukrainian refugees. thank you so much. i'm on con, reporting from keith. now that you has pledged more than
9:05 pm
a $1000000000.00 to support countries welcoming refugees from ukraine. european commission, president ursula vander line, made the pledge at a fundraising event held in warsaw. $650000000.00 will go to poland, and she said, the rest of the funds would go to other frontline states. today we are supporting millions of ukrainian refugees and people in need. above all, we are sending a message to every single ukrainian in their cities and villages under siege. a message of called to their brave ukraine and soldiers, heroes, defending their counter from the aggressor. dear brothers and sisters, you are not alone. the member states are doing an outstanding job. it's phenomenal . the n g o are working on the ground, the communities, the local communities, out standing in receiving the refugees. but as i said,
9:06 pm
more is needed and any pledge will help a refugee here in the european union. but also this is so important. any pledge will help a person that is internally displaced last at home because of the bumping and shelling of proteins army within ukraine. the war and ukraine has called europe biggest refugee and humanitarian crisis. in the 2nd world war. more than 10000000 people have been forced to flee their homes a quarter of the country's population. more than 6000000 are still in ukraine, around 4 and a half 1000000 have escaped. 2 and a half 1000000 of them are in poland. most of the rest are in other countries, neighboring ukraine, and some have moved on to western europe. earlier, i spoke to andrea as chris off was a spokesman for the un refugee agency. he says ukraine's refugees will need long term support. what we're seeing is still refugees from ukraine
9:07 pm
arriving at smaller numbers. we have when you put it into perspective, we need to see that in the mass up to 140000 people per day across the border. so it's really records numbers which we haven't seen and other record emergency, and now it will be in the 1000. so still significant all the volunteer organizations are many of them are still there, but it's already that we need to more a longer term perspective on them, but also on supporting the refugees went on because often they only spend a few hours a day at the border and then they move on to major cities in. that's actually what's right. so once, then they move on to these major cities and they enter poland. what does each situation like for them and how challenging is it? well, is we all know a good, well come
9:08 pm
a call that has really been an area and it's, it's probably something that are capital for other christ and placement and refugees of the region. now, here in watson where i'm now and we think that may be roughly estimated one out of 10 people is a refugee. so we need just these people accept accommodation. they need if they can work next to just to health care. so this is something really in the perspectives and many are hosted with local citizens, may not be able to to host them for an extended period. right, so we've just heard from the european commission president at the fundraising event that's been held in warsaw where you are, and $650000000.00 has been pledged to poland. specifically, no doubt this will help the country because as you're saying, it's bit under
9:09 pm
a tremendous amount of pressure as not to, to take in this the, the refugees and to host them. yes, certainly, and i mean they need support from other countries in the 1st name, obviously to go into the next on and especially also municipalities, villages, town had been planning on this and entity the records for other international organizations. and you know, they can come to me and i wonder if you can speak to this statistic, the polish border for lisa saying that according to its data there about 364000 people who have actually returned to ukraine since february. the 24th. can you tell us about about that and why, why you think they're returning? well, what we're seeing is that the movement across the border,
9:10 pm
they am more in line with what and what will come of these people may be wrecked, need not to be there to pick to. we talk refugee, they have hungry members. they think it's relatively where they are now when the pay that would relate this development in ukraine and also the rights and displacement. we have more than half a 1000000 internally displaced in the ukraine now. so that means that it's on the situation like here. yeah, there is certainly the possibility that more ukrainian earlier ukraine's president vulnerable lensky met austria as chancellor call the armor and keep the army said he wanted to show support for ukraine. austria has been providing humanitarian aid as well as helmets and body armor for civilians.

9:27 pm
local observers, and even the election commission. the spokesman of the election commission confirm to me that yes, the tunnel compared to the presidential elections last december was very low. so that's how it's been and this could be a good sign for the ruling or governing party. then p, p. remember the n p p was formed out to the coalition that brought the president out of the bottle to power. and now it's projected when at least about 30 percent of the seats to be declared closely followed by the main opposition, the u. d. p. party. now what that means now is that bottle maybe out of one coalition. then he will need to have another coalition partner in parliament or collision partners in parliament in order to governor push the reese agenda in parliament. when these results come out, what happened was the day, the low voter turnout was a good time for them. it's probably the best the party can hope to which of course,

's and pockets on our to vote on whether or not prime minister in long time keeps his job. parliament was dissolved earlier this week in an attempt to avoid the vote of no confidence. the supreme court judges rule that was illegal. israel has it own strict new measures against palestinians living in the janine refugee company occupied west bank earlier. the is really army moved into the camp, enforce and killed one month was we're going to die. but he was joining us on the phone from my la, also in the occupied west bank with the latest on the situation and janine nevada
9:33 pm
and also to tell us how these forms of collective punishment measures really will impact palestinians in the refugee camp. that in this decision is related to people living in the bill, yet not just a machine, which means that it's affecting more than 300000 palestinians. and this is why i was did you see there's a form of collective punishment? it's important to remember that this discourse is not something new. this is a discourse that insurance has been in for years, but maybe on the smaller scale when it comes to small city, there could choose who has the upper hand. this time it's acting for layers, festival palestinians, really who usually come shopping engineering, so that's going to affect the economy of the city. secondly, the bmw c, current holders, which means the business line cards, which is already just
9:34 pm
a small minority of people who have a car genera allowed to go back and forth from the bank and they already have good and what's called a trade relations residual. the other layer is related to workers. now, according to the usability measures, they will be subjected to more and more inspection that we've been talking to over . they say that they are already being humiliated that check for and they are being forced to undergo a very strict inspection measures which already makes the lives much more difficult . now the 1st layer got this new decision is affected. is it related to permit for palestinians living in the occupied less than going to visit the families occupied these jewish now? because palestinians live across the political divide, some in israel,
9:35 pm
some of the others in the west bank. they have company and relations that have been already severed by the permit system. that is, and many will tell you that they feel that israel shouldn't even have that system because they do is to select it's going to the house didn't under international law . so it shouldn't even have a c in who gets to enter jerusalem. now we, as we said before, this is not something new, many power video, steve it's, it's a form of collective punishment, and it's also been taking other it's really have been taking other measures. we've seen them yesterday bring both to close the gaps in the separation wrong. so there are places where palestinians can cross into his room immediately and many of them go to work and we've seen it's really
9:36 pm
a security establishment mention that some of meet the goodman have croft needs. seeing them also clue think the gaps. so we're looking at a lot of measures the palestinians called collective punishment. and that ultimately remind palestinians who has the upper hand. ok, thank you so much. but i am reporting from among the occupied westbank. iran has been holding a national ceremony to mark its nuclear a day. both the president on the head of the atomic energy agency took part on the hush him has more from to her. on the iranian nuclear agency showed at 9 of its new achievements and fields of health and agriculture. also, iran is suppose they already said they did to upload that jordan c, p f, which is the con, the country program,
