12:06 pm
battalion, one of the chechen volunteer groups fighting alongside ukraine block arrived in the country just 2 weeks ago. he won't tell us somewhere for security reasons, not fed, although it's important for me because we have a common enemy or people suffer greatly because of the russian. just say the cranium are now. so the battalion is named after jo. how do they f, a church and leader who fought for independence from russia? their mission falls under the orders of the ukrainian army and then not formally under its national command. when the russians retreated from the harkey region in the north east of the country, they left behind a considerable amount of military hardware and weapons that have machine gun is one of them. and now the training on it unit of the battalion were among the 1st to introduce the gigi system is human. when the russians were forced to retreat,
12:07 pm
there's a took part in the fight north of keith. battle that put them against fellow chechens loyal to ram them could be off the chechen leader who publicly support moscow. his fighters also took part in this egypt. my useful when the russians captured the port city a case of a 1st. you created a close method. i wonder about poland, poland. what are they trying to achieve after ukraine? if the order is given, we will show you in 6 seconds. what we're capable of can deal has recently criticized russia military strategy in ukraine. that has also pledged tens of thousands of men as part of must cause low balance ation efforts. that the russia, both small nation. because now the using guys is it can meet the we always want to turn in love by russian here. tell them that we are ready guys to get to. if you decide to hands up, you don't have to fight. we're not asking them to come in green and fight for what
12:08 pm
we have them not quite again. you know, many of the commanders here veterans of the 2 chechen wars that reduce the capital gross need to what do you and called the most destroyed city on earth. probably the need for some there is no freedom, no jobs. young people have no other choice but to join the police or armed forces. nothing is produced before used to have refineries, but they stop everything. doyle go to russia, and their divisions among chechen fighting in ukraine are somehow a war within a war. for these men, the ultimate goal is the creation of the chechen republic of carrier, independent from moscow sphere influence. how does that mean algebra indicate region? hey, now the world news, the british found has strengthened slightly as the new u. k. chancellor, get fed to unveiled tax and spending measures 2 weeks earlier than planned. jeremy hunter only land the role on friday has promised to fix public finances after his
12:09 pm
predecessors, economic brands sparked panic on the market. while we have to correspondence on this story to, sorry, in a moment, we'll have the latest on the political fallout with andrew simmons, but 1st speak to john hall with outside the bank of england in london. so the markets are open. jonah, how are they sharing? so far, had the government done enough to prevent for the tablets what will the market certainly opening positively on monday morning off the back of government efforts during the weekend to try to stabilize the public finances. the pounds might be up against the dollar. the value of government debt slightly up as well, meaning the cost of government borrowing comes down. so a measure of confidence among investors returning certainly to the public finances if not the wider economy as a whole. how did we get here? well, recall on friday, the sucking of quasi qua tang the then chancellor, whose planet had been along with this truss to introduce tens of billions of
12:10 pm
dollars worth of tax cuts that the government could only afford with public borrowing that tanked the markets. of course, jeremy hunt, his successor, sets about immediately dismantling large spots of that plan. almost all of it has been junk now and indicating over the weekend that he will replace it with tax rises and public spending cuts to try and stabilize things. and indeed, we understand that in about an hour's time, the treasury will reduce a statement by the chancellor in which he will set out at the beginnings of how he intends to stabilize the public. finances preliminary to the plan to come out in 2 weeks time. so details coming sooner than the markets will have anticipated previously that would have given them some sucker and the other bit of good news, of course that fall in the cost of government borrowing, particularly in the wake of the bank of england, ending its emergency intervention on friday that essentially really helps the government to decrease the size of the deficit, the size of the whole that he's got to try and fill now. and the governor of the
12:11 pm
bank having the andrew bailey who has said that they will be further interest rate rises next month is set. now to see i to i with chancellor jeremy hunt in terms of a much more orthodox sort of fiscal and monetary set of policies. whereas previously the government at the back of that were essentially seems to be working against each other. yeah, a highly anticipated statement from a chance by john hall outside the bank of england. thank you very much for that. let's cross over to westminster now. and andrew simmons is there for is the political fallout continues. of course. can the prime minister fav her job? well, every one is sir, placing different sorts of bats on that one. will it be a long time? will it be a short time? the majority think she's definitely going to be going. the question is, when an hour what's happening here in westminster is a flurry of rumors of unprecedented proportions. it has to be said,
12:12 pm
this place when it comes to backstabbing and plotting some people in there, make it an art form. and what's happening now is it is an array of attempts to ease this prime minister out or, or pull her out screaming. that's basically how it law lives at the moment. but essentially what trust is trying to do her tactics are to try and buy time. and that is why we have a chancellor who is from the center of the party and not the right. and he is basically turned all of her policies over reverse. i mean, completely the reverse, the, the polar opposite can in actual fact she really has a plan now that resembles her opponents in the leadership race, which is where she sooner can his name's being attached all sorts of plans to try to get a caretaker prime minister in place, he's not making any call on that right now. there are other names around as well.
12:13 pm
ben wallace, the defense minister, who is a safe pair of hands as well. but he is associated with las trusses administration . so that may not be a possibility, but it could be and then also there's a other figures in the background. but right now with hunt, you have a man with a role that's technocratic really at safe pair of hands. he's done an immense amount of work in a very short space of time, which is why we've seen a moderate that reaction from the markets that's in favor of what's going on. but he has to now follow that up with a statement answer. within a few hours at which will actually hopefully he, thanks ah, straightened things out and as far as trust is concerned, she has to hold on. she has to actually convince the conservative party that she really can do business. and still somehow, i recall the conservative party, his reputation for being the steward of good governance and finance at which is all
12:14 pm
completely up in the air right now. like it's never been before possibly the history of the party. now what's more, she is now trying to bring in the center ground of the party, the one nation conserves that. she's got a big meeting later on on monday or with the caucus of the one nation alliance. and that is the center ground, that his just the polar opposite of what she was representing before, but she needs to bring them on board. can she open book on that one? i highly unlikely some say, but if she manages it, she will buy time. high political drama there, andrew simmons will keep a close eye on everything as having an landon with the of my strategy. anderson's live in lessons and still had on al jazeera ambushed in kenya. i will tell you about the people fleeing to safety only to run into more channels. and the head of the roman catholic church is calling from major reforms at the united nation. will
