sunday -- the hike was a route necessary in fairway to play for plans on social care. but, as the cost -- especially among those in lower incomes. mr. sunak said the situation in ukraine was only contributing to the crisis. >> the actions in the steps we're taking to sanction russia are not cost free for us here at home. i can't pretend that is going to be easy, that government can solve every challenge, or that i can completely protect people against some of the difficult times ahead. what i can say, where we can make a difference, of course we will. >> these are things -- on. it hits them particularly hard on the bills go up. things are going to get worse for them, of course. in april, benefits are going up. -- can you at least say that you're going to be targeting, for your help, that you can, give the people that you needed

the most? >> that's what we've done. >> i'm trying to look forward. >> of course, you can always say just remodel actions. over the last couple of years, you'll see all the research that's been published, those with the lowest incomes i've seen the greatest amount of support. >> there will be action targeted to those on low income? >> you mention energy, which is a good one. >> i acknowledge you want to talk about your record, but i'm just wear of timings. >> this is something that's about to come in. there are lots of different ways that you can help people with energy bills. one thing with the labour party says, we should just cut va tea on energy. that's the opposite of targeted, and it would mean someone like you or me who has a larger than average energy bill gets a larger discount. what we've done is provide 150 pounds to 80% of british households, four out of five english households. that's a lot more for somebody on lower income. it's much more targeted support

and it will get there much more quickly. >> we've talked about how difficult things are going to get, and that you can only mitigate so much of that. this is a time where you are choosing to go ahead with -- i think it's been -- it's pretty fair to say, those are going to go ahead. if you're not going to scrap it, should we expect to see some movement on the thresholds of which people pay these taxes? >> let's take a step back. why are we introducing a new -- i care deeply about the nhs, in the country does as well. we were faced with a situation where millions of people were going to be waiting years to get the treatment that they wanted, as we recovered from coronavirus. we didn't think that was acceptable for anybody, and we wanted to address it. the team at the nhs are prepared to work incredibly hard to work through that backlog. i wanted to make sure that they had the funding that they need and deserve to do that.

people can be reassured every penny of it. -- >> let's speak to our deputy political editor, sam cox. sam, a slight hint that there may be some support for people to deal with the cost of living crisis. >> that's right. he said that people can be reassured that he would stand by them, like he has done in the past. that standing by people will come on wednesday in the mini budget, known as the spring statement. it had intended to be more of an update, steady issue goes, not a big moment, but it looks as if the chancellor will, once again, as a result of yet another crisis, have to dig deep into his pocketbooks to try and help people who are suffering, as a result of prices relating -- what will come, there was a brought him to sophie ridge that fuel duty is likely to be cut. label pressing for it to be cut

by five pants. a liter -- nevertheless, chose to point out that the rural constituency mp, he understands the pressure people face when prices go up at the pumps, and the impact that has on prices all over the place. he also made clear that he would be targeting hope to the less well off. that's a pretty clear signal that he's not going to reverse the 1.2 national insurance rise for employees and employees that come in the next few weeks, as part of the new financial view. that's the thing that labor are targeting there are tax on richie sue max position. rachel reeves -- >> why national insurance? the problem with national insurance, it's a tax on work. it's a tax charge by those who go out to work, and those people that employ them. some of the richest people in our country, who earn an income

through dealing in stocks and shares, or through a portfolio, they might pay a penny more in tax with the national insurance rise. that's not right. watch >> sam, richie sunak appear to defend boris johnson's comments. that was where he made the comparison between the situation in ukraine and brexit. >> that's right. boris johnson -- he was defending freedom -- that is got down incredibly badly with some. all the activists in the hall didn't like it, but ministers told me that they thought it was uncomfortable. some have even gone public. theresa may's former chief of staff also criticize that remark, because the idea that a democratic vote could be anything like equated to the

kinds of things that you're seeing in ukraine, the pictures that you're looking at, -- >> let's watch him, because it looked to me that he was far from comfortable, essentially saying that boris johnson didn't say what we all heard him say. >> no, i don't think those two situations are directly analogous. i don't think the prime minister was saying that they were. >> he's not saying they're directly innocuous, but he is saying that the people of this country, like the people of ukraine, choose freedom every time. he gives brexit as an example. >> the situations are obviously not analogous. one is a democratic referendum in a country where people can debate ideas in peace. >> that's part of the situation that putin finds --

he doesn't like that idea of all the, expression of freedom. they're not directly analogous situations, i don't believe he meant to say that they were. >> i think sky viewers can make their own meetings. the relationship between boris johnson, which is to mask has not been smooth. allies of both we probably can see that. suggestions that richie suma considered resigning earlier were denied by his aides, when he was clearly very unhappy. you need those two meant to be working together, because of moments like the one we're about to get on wednesday with the mini budget, the spring statement. we learned then whether it's a bit more of a richie sunac budget, or if boris johnson gets his way. >> sam, thank you. we'll have live coverage of the chancellors spring statements. that's taking place on wednesday, from 11 am, here on

sky news. returning to developments a new crime. it's been reported by the council in mariupol, the russian forces have bombed in our school, were 400 residents had taken refuge. this comes -- thousands of residents of the battered city have been forcibly taken to russia. boichenko says it's hard to believe that this is the 24 century, and people are forcibly deported to another country. while sky news cannot verify the claims, russia says it sent convoys of buses to remove people from the city. and mykolaiv, the search continues for marines missing after a rocket attack on the base. dozens are already four dead. let's take a look at the latest developments. ukrainian forces are reportedly close to losing control of the key as off stall steel plants.

one of the largest of its kind in new europe. ukraine security and defense counsel has announced a ban on pro-russian political parties, including a major opposition party holding nearly a tenth of all seats in ukraine's parliament. the un's refugee agency says 6.5 million people, that's one and eight ukrainians, have been displaced within the country, since the invasion began. that's on top of 3.3 million refugees, who fled the country. in mykolaiv, the search continues for marines missing after a rocket attack on the base. dozens are already fear to have died. from the southern port city of odessa, skies nick martin has the latest. >> the last few days we've been aware of reports of the military -- naval build of a warship on the black sea coast, just off odessa. it's a sign for the -- on the horizon thankfully, the

city has not seen any thing in waves of attack. certainly nothing on the scale of mariupol and -- something of an inevitability. the conflict will come to odessa. it is strategically just such a keyport. for the people who are trying to flee this war, it is a long journey for a lot of people. we're at a red cross bus station in odessa. these people from the odessa region have come with their belongings, packed up into suitcases and they're now waiting for buses to take them away, across the border to the west. some of these people are from odessa, some of them are from the wider region, but all of them share one thing in common, they are not confident about staying here anymore. it's too dangerous everywhere you see acts of kindness this is a local church putting some food out some water some crackers and some coffee this

is what keeps these people going. this is a very horrendous time for people. the u.s. have issued some astonishing figures about the amount of people who are now displaced in ukraine. six and a half million people are now away from their homes, cast out into this country and a lot of them are already trying to figure out where they're going to live for the next few months, and possibly even years. for people who live in mariupol, that's a city -- that's a city that's been pounded till there's nothing left. the images are so desperately sad. today, we've had reports that 400 people, who were hiding in a shelter in a local art school, are now under the rubble because of bomb struck a place last night. that comes after a barracks was struck yesterday, while soldier slept. a few days before, that a theater, which is being used as

a shelter was struck. it's just a desperate, desperate situation. places like odessa are kind of holding their breath, trying to figure out when the attack will come, and how bad it will be. one thing to say, odessa is a very well defended city. the other night, we heard that the russian missile had been fired in towards where we were, and in defense missile had been sent back and exploded. that perhaps will gives people some heart about whether they can be defended or not -- via social media. that leadership is filtered down to the regional governments here. look at the -- vitali kim and nikolai of, on social media, every day trying to rally their own people. these political leaders,

regional political leaders have become heroes and trying to give people here who are scares some information about what might happen where, they can go for help the. political system here has rallied to try and give support to these kind of people, who have nowhere else to go. what they do know, they are fleeing war and they can't get away from a quick enough. these people cross the border to moldova today. that's a small country and it's absolutely full. once they get to poland, it's full. warsaw, krakow, of their full. it's a refugee crisis like we haven't seen since the war second world war. sooner or later, we'll have to come up with a long term plan and it was to try and cope with this huge migration. hnick martin was elated from odessa. speaking to skies stove the ridge on sunday, ukraine's deputy prime minister stressed that any war crimes committed

by the russian forces would come with a heavy price. >> the situation is growing more and more severe. more than 15 days of this resistance other is a sense of ukrainian people, who face severe attacks. basically, russia is going to commit all possible war crimes, which humanity saw on the second world war. -- ruling on the case of genocide. -- it has oblige russian federation to spend military operation and refrain from -- we know that the word of the rulings and the order me nothing to the russian federation, but it's not something i presume, this is the reality. putin in the kremlin on the war criminals. they commit the war crimes, and

they targeted attempts to attack the ukrainian population. the horrible story of populations that i've heard -- for hours, and then murdered. who have been killed -- by fear -- now, i have the very strong aggression. each and every soldier, who has committed the war crime, by order or not, will be held accountable. be sure, russian soldiers, that we fix and see it all. ukrainian women will stand up for each other, and we will prevail. >> ukraine's deputy prime minister speaking to us earlier. now, police are searching for a 22 year old man after a woman was found dead in a students accommodation in central london yesterday morning. let's speak to -- who's outside the block shinji, devastating news. what more do we know? >> --

,. -- . ,. -- . -- , -- of london, and that this man was known to her, that they were in a relationship that they were together in the evening before she was killed. this case of a young woman being killed --

like the killing of sarah ron. that obviously caused quite a great deal of concern. like i say, a 20 year old man is being searched for by the police in connection with this case. >> jimmy, thank you. at least four people have been killed and, two dozen others injured after a car hit a carnival crowd in belgium. media reports said that the deaths occurred after the vehicle hit people who had gathered at dawn on sunday for the start of the celebrations, in the small town of 13 miles, south of brussels. some media were reporting that four people had died. -- the number was not to be six. those in the vehicle had been detained. a fourth covid vaccine is on the cards for millions of vulnerable people. spring booster jabs will be available to care home

time on sky news. that is the question, isn't it? we were just saying, looking at the situation with nato, what more do you think they could be doing to help the situation and ukraine? >> well, i can say that i will -- we need to call -- could be done by nato. the second and third, of course it's more weapons. i mean, anti missile, anti aircraft. we need aircrafts to. of course, the third position is sanctions, because it's not about nato, it can be done by

the western world, and western companies should leave there -- any penny which they pay to russia -- will transfer to the weapons and transfer to the blood of ukrainians. we try to find some solutions and tried to take initiations with russia, but still, we understand that the main reason of russia is to destroy our sovereignty, and to take control of our country. that's why, in my own opinion, they just try to -- strengthen their army, for the mobilization of their two --

russian army however, we try to do all the best from our side and try to stop the war. the situation is right now. >> picking up on where you said, in terms of clothing the skies, nato have expressed hesitation in doing that for fear of being drawn into the fight. is there another way around it? is there something that they can do to help you, to help ukrainians do that? >> as i said, we need more a weapon -- actually, anti aircraft systems. we received it from the uk,

from the u.s., from another country, but the war is continuing and we need daily supplies of weapons and maybe a little bit powerful weapon. i mean, see 300, which slovakia has. as i know, they tried to deliver to ukraine but the system should be replaced by some of the newest systems from the u.s.. this is the issue that they discussed. we need more weapon's. we understand that neither nato is afraid -- will lead to some tensions with russian hands. if you think that ukraine will be their final point for russia,

you're wrong. they tried to reestablish their influence of the ussr, not only on ukraine, but also for other countries. the next could be -- a hope they won't be, but the next step can be the baltic countries, or poland. and they understand it, that's why they're trying to pursue or convince nato members to call the sky. i've already received the decision to pull the bill to public or trees. this is what we need right now. weapons on a daily basis, --

aircraft fighters. we lost all of our fighters in this war. we shot down more than 100 russians aircrafts, but we lost a lot of our own chiraz. >> the news that we're hearing today of ukrainians in mariupol being bundled into buses and being sent off to russia, what more can you tell us about that? >> russia, i mean, didn't achieve their goal to occupy mariupol, to occupy kharkiv, to occupy another big city. that's why they just -- they couldn't achieve their

goals. who tried to destroy the city's, wiping them from the face of the earth, bombing them daily -- we tried to organize a human turn -- maybe one of the worst -- was fired for them. -- this is actually a war crime. this is genocide of the ukrainians and civilians. they fired schools, they fire

to universities, the fire to shelters, even to shelters. they actually knew about this building of our theater. they knew that this was a shelter. -- matt -- i can't find the proper words to describe their behavior against civilians. they can't do anything against ukrainian army, because they can't lead or achieve their goals, so they try to destroy our cities and kill our civilians. >> ukrainian mp, thank you for

your time on sky news. sky news. for a check on the weather. i could've my doctor my leg was red and swollen just doing the crossword... but i didn't wait. they told their doctors. and found out their symptoms... leg pain, swelling and redness - were deep vein thrombosis. a blood clot which could travel to the lungs and lead to a pulmonary embolism. which could cause chest pain or discomfort, or difficulty breathing - and be deadly.

the team have an exclusive interview with the prime minister, boris johnson, on the war in ukraine. >> on this week's fyi, we head to downing street to put your questions on the war in ukraine into the prime minister, boris johnson. with russian attacks on ukrainian cities still on the increase, is there anything more that britain can do to help stop the bombing? >> and are we about to see many more refugees coming into the uk? >>. ,. >> -- with some places like the besieged city of mariupol suffering awful damage. >> around 3 million refugees

have managed to flee the country, and most of them have been warmly welcomed into neighboring countries. the british government has faced criticism by only allowing a couple thousand refugees into the uk so far. with all the suffering going on, i think it must be hard for our parents, let alone yours to understand why this is happening and why russia would do this. >> we went to the home of the british prime minister, number 10 downing street in london, to put your questions and concerns to boris johnson, in an exclusive interview. >> to start off, we thank you so much for joining us, prime minister. >> it's a pleasure. good to see you again. >> we know that the situation is really bad. we now have devastating it is. i think the center of attention that a lot of people want to know about is, is there going to be world war iii? another thing a lot of kids are worried about is the introduction of nuclear weapons, so what is happening? >> it's very important for us to understand what's happening

in ukraine. this is a war -- a conventional war, why vladimir putin to conquer and subjugate -- to crush -- a totally innocent country. a totally innocent civilian population who have done nothing wrong, none of them. would he's doing -- i've never seen such a clear difference between good and evil. i think what he wants to get away with it, and in order for that, he's going to sow threatening to the rest of the world about what could happen, including the use of the types of weapons you described. i think is very important that we treat that as a complete distraction. this is about helping the people of ukraine to protect themselves. they have every right to defend themselves. a >> lot of people think that president putin is a very bad,

person what did you think when you met him? >> i think that he is a guy who grew up in the cold war. he's a secret service bed, he's a kgb man, he's a russian spy. that's how he thinks. he believes that the west, countries like ours, are trying to encircle russia and threaten russia. he's obsessed with that idea. he's wrong. i think he was very shocked and upset by the way the soviet union collapsed in the 1990s. he thought of that was a humiliation for russia. would you swear to do no, we're builders booked of the soviet union that he can. they're far too young to remember what it was like, but

it was a pretty grim, communist, socialist at t. it was held together by force. >> as days go on, more innocent people are being killed and more cities are being destroyed and obliterated. when is enough enough? >> that's already way past enough. it's appalling. i don't think anybody expected to see something like this in europe. we haven't seen anything like this in europe since the world war, 80 years ago. people would european go, with western governments or struggling coalition that would happen to get how to deal with it. i think we're all realizing that we're going to have to do more to support the ukrainians. when we can't do, allow putin

to start framing this, and start claiming that this is a war between him in the west. it's not. it's about him trying to crush ukraine, and other people around the world thinking that's not fair, that's not right. >> if he does get a hold of ukraine, and he does conquer ukraine -- would about countries like finland and sweden that are in nato, are they had a severe risk? >> -- the traditional posture has been of strict neutrality. they haven't been members of nato -- is a big debate going on in finland, as you can imagine. when i feel most is that putin should recognize that this is a genocide. what he's doing is a war crime, and if there's any hope for him, he's gonna pull back immediately. he has to stop this.

>> why isn't the uk doing more? the uk has progressively been doing more and more. it's not a competition but the uk began by being the first european country to give military assistance -- we will continue to do as much as we possibly can. i think we'll do that, but that's with the british people want. >> president putin and the russian government has been telling, i'm sure you, know russian people, and many russian kids fake news, and not telling them what's actually going on. -- as the uk, can we make sure that kids the uk only hear the truth and know where the truth is? >> i think it's very important that kids in the uk should have access to the best possible information about what's going on. i think sky has been covering it very well. i think you should try and

share as much of that good valuable, authenticated material as you can. >> i find it so upsetting because russian citizens, who are meant to be flowing -- >> they don't. i think it's very important -- one of the things that you could do is reach out to young russians. say, is this really being done in your name? is this what you want? i bet they don't. if they knew an under civil was happening, i bet they wouldn't support it. >> do you feel bad that the uk hasn't taken more refugees, when you know some places like poland and neighboring countries have taken in close to 2 million? >> they have, but the uk doesn't have a border, so we haven't received the first wave, but we are taking many more, as people decide to come on to the uk. we've got an amazing record as a country for taking people in, and we understand the importance of it.

-- also the benefit is that the country gets from taking people in. we've got a plan, which was announced a few days ago so that if you want to welcome the ukrainian family, or ukrainian refugees into your home -- then the government will support you. we're seeing massive generosity by the british people. >> following on from, that will you be housing refugees? >> i'm a mere tennant -- i'm not even a tenant. i'm the temporary occupant of this place. it is up to others to decide how that would work. if it were to be possible, i'm sure that people would welcome it. i'm sure there's a lot of people who would want to do it. >> from all these things happening, have you not had

enough of being the prime minister or having this job? >> i'm aware that there are some people who think that they -- members of the opposition -- who would like to remove you from office, but that's their job. my job is to continue and, and i think that -- the great thing about democratic politics is that we have a system whereby the people can remove you. that's why they don't have in russia. it's with they have in ukraine. in ukraine, the people can vote out the president, and the prime minister in the government. in russia, if you stand against vladimir putin, you're probably going to be shot or poisoned. that's the difference. that's why ukraine matters. >> thank you so much for joining us. thank you for your time.

>> and you. >> thank you very much. >> for the full interview with boris johnson, head to our web page. you also find -- looking into why russia invaded ukraine and how world leaders are trying to bring a peaceful into the war. many of the 3 million refugees who fled the war in ukraine have escaped into neighboring countries. they're carrying just a few belongings, they've crossed into moldova, romania, hungary, slovakia and poland. with some of them heading to other eu countries. >> locals have been praised for showing great porosity. >> this was a welcome the ten year old, dimitri an eight-year-old, victoria, got in italy. >> countries like poland are now getting overwhelmed. the taken in close to 2 million refugees, and it puts the spotlight back onto the uk,

which up to now has faced a lot of criticism for not doing enough. >> many refugees, including veronica's family, says the process is way too slow and difficult. -- veronica's that actually lives in the uk, and he traveled to the polish border a day after the war broke out -- unfortunately, they told us that getting back into the uk was really tough, so they wanted to share their story on fyi. new >> won the war broke out, i felt a lot of pain because i understood idly my country, my relatives, my dog, my friends and my school. when we got to the french border, they wouldn't let us through. the french police came, they took us out and we have to go to the embassy in paris. we were told that they can help us. after drive across europe to get to france, the uk border force in calais, wouldn't let rucker and her family into uk

for a week. they sent them back and forth between the british embassy and the uk visa processing center, over ten times. it was an especially hard time, because veronica suffers from diabetes. an illness where her blood sugar levels can go dangerously high. if she doesn't take or medication, or either a food. >> because i had to go back and forth a few times, my sugar level was very high, and i feel terrible. we took very little stuff with, us very little medication, very little food -- >> and i ran for my father, who is a uk citizen. i wanted to stay with my father in the uk for safety. i hope that other families who are arriving in the uk will face less difficulties. finally, uk authorize granted for our look at her mother the visas, so that they could get to the very in the uk with chronic is that. but, the pain isn't over for the family. as the war in the ukraine

continues, they're worried about veronica's older brother, dennis who, had to stay behind and fight. veronica was too upset to talk about a brother, but her mom wanted us to know how worried they are about him. >> because my son's disability, he is diabetes and hearing aids, i thought he would be allowed out of the country, because he's technically not eligible to serve in the armed forces. when we approach border control, they wouldn't let him pass out of the country. i had such a dilemma. i wanted both my kids to be safe, but he insisted, go, take veronica. that will meet you on the other side. the day before yesterday, he took an oath to defend our country. i'm terribly worried, because he is hearing difficulties. if he hears a command to run, he might not hear properly and mobile to follow instructions. >> the family speak to dennis every day and at the moment, he says things are quiet where he

is. but, the battery on his hearing it is, low and he's running out of his medicine for diabetes. >> make sure to take your medicine. >> only a few pharmacies. >> we'll try and send you some. >> i don't believe that this is happening in our country. i want all our boys to come back in one piece. >> i hope for ukrainian victory on the country build itself back, and i will be able to return there. we love you so much, hold on and be strong. >> as the prime minister mentioned, the uk government have now set up a new scheme. it's called holmes for ukraine. british people can now sign up on the website to donate a rumor home to a refugee. >> volunteers will be paid 350 a pound amount to be a host, and in the first day alone,

over 100,000 people signed up. >> critics of the scheme, including opposition labor party say that there's not enough urgency, and the visa application process is too complicated. >> that's about it for this. week >> we're gonna leave you with some images of the mini british children coming together to support ukraine. >> they've been raising money by going to school in ukrainian colors. >> see you next week!
