newsnight now reports. we're here in the peloponnese region in southern greece. this idyllic location has now become a key artery for russian oil. we're just leaving greek territorial waters and we're approaching a number of tankers that have left russia. and we believe they're here to exchange russian crude. these two boats that you can see behind me here are oil tankers. the boat in the distance is from russia and it's moving oil to the boat that's nearest to us. here in international waters, this practice is legal. bbc newsnight has had exclusive access to numbers calculated by the campaign group global witness. since the g7, eu and australia introduced a ban on importing oil directly, in the first six months of 2023, the numbers show the amount of russian energy that's been processed in indian refineries and made its way to the uk legally since then, with its origins changing to india.

in the six months since january, the uk imported 6.2 million barrels of refined energy from three indian refineries, made with an estimated 2.33 million barrels of russian crude. the diesel is used to power uk planes. the figures are equivalent to one in eight of our flights using fuel from these refineries, or one in 20 british flights being powered purely by russian crude. so how much is this all worth to russia? according to the figures, in the first six months of 2023, the energy bought by the uk generated more than $122 million in revenue for russia, of which at least $50 million went directly to the kremlin in tax revenues. so, russia has essentiallyjust skirted around the sanctions. it is selling as much oil as it was before the war. big british firms like bp and shell are buying this jet fuel. bp said...

shell told us... while the uk government said... refining energy in a third country changes its legal origin. but this energy we're purchasing is still being produced with russian oil. emir nader, bbc news. he's one of the legends of reggae and now bob marley will be remembered at london's notting hill carnival this weekend. his family have created the first official bob marley float. his daughter cedella marley has been involved in the process,
