ah, a, as i turned the latest round of moscow security tools with the west brushes envoy to washington wound the remarks by us. officials are an attempt to scatter the negotiations. also this our cover, your pet, the star jones. if you want to stay warm this winter, major british energy company feels the heat though for advice while fuel costs rocket. i think they've completely lost the cloth on that. why preferred went out she paid really freeze in our in house because we're trying to get the cost down. you think? what else i said today. more talk, talent, quit the baby. see this time a veteran presenter who's left after 46 years selling our thing. he could no longer

accept the woke agenda that was affecting the show. they were very keen that we should have a power of men and women. and this has been case for many, many years. my rule has always been that we should just have people walked right to the program. and y'all have it you stream it defending his australian open title faces a new challenge with authorities weighing up whether safety port him after new revelations, he broke it rules. i misled them over his way or back with good afternoon, just gone for o'clock in moscow. you're watching international or start this out with breaking news to because the british prime minister, forrest johnson has finally apologized and admitted that he did attend a much criticized party at the height of the 1st slop dang. he faced questions by unpaid in parliament on the got the on the gathering that became the horace fritz

allege, bring your own booze policy. johns nodded. he thought the part was actually a work meeting, but it's now conceded that he should have stopped it from happening. the opposition leader has already called on the pm to quit branding him a man without shame. ah, now russian and nato delegations had begun talks in brussels in an effort to reduce tensions on the continent to this the 1st time the nato, russia came. so has convened a more than 2 years. ah, for these are some of the latest pictures from that meeting that began earlier today, nato secretary general has emphasized the importance of dialogue for european security . however, the block has been reluctant to accept moscow's request to hold his expansion towards russia's board is particularly concerning. crane and russia's envoy to washington has worn to that recent remarks by us officials could actually scupper

any progress. we saw the delicate beating this morning, shaking hands indicating that this is a very business like meeting. but in terms of optimism, as we've already seen, we've talked earlier this week in geneva that were held between russia and u. s. representatives. not really anything concrete coming out of that meeting. i sort of both sides suggesting what their red lines are, rosalind finding any compromise on a way forward. and in regards to those talks which both sides described as being frank and business. like the suggestion was there wasn't that much optimism following them. we do not see any significant reason for optimism. the only thing that deserves positive assessment is the way the talks were conducted with openness, thoroughness, and directness. but this is not something that can bring satisfaction because what is important is the result, not the process. it was not what you would call

a negotiation. we're not to a point where we're ready to set down texts and begin to go back and forth. and of course, since those talks in geneva, we've also had this bob from the u. s. over russian disinformation. this is an allegation that came directly from the white house press secretary, we are preparing herself for the civility in likelihood. no one should be surprised . i should say, if russia spreads just information about commitments that have not been made, or if it goes even further and instigate something as a priest text for further destabilizing activity. and so we will continue to urge everyone not to fall for any attempts to pushed and disinformation out there. as for the numerous statements made by the white house press secretary, cleveland, but it is sincerely regretable that the american leadership is represented by people who do not know the subject well enough. but if we advise you colleagues not to forget to use critical thinking and carefully double check, or at least in the most important story, so as not to show your incompetence to the whole world. and to add to the tensions

already surrounding all of these meetings this week, we have this threat of possible sanctions against russia. also now coming from the secretary general of nato, yet stilton burke, who said that if these talks failed, need to is ready to have crippling sanctions, financial sanctions against russia. in addition to that, we've had a new line coming out from the united states. what we are doing now is working with the turbans working with a you too slow. they are consideration of implementation of the pipeline yet suspended. if russia aggress is against ukraine, i'm is, of course, the intense media speculation in discussion about what's happening this week with the will these talks and it probably doesn't help when you see headlines that essentially saying that russia is brandishing a gun to the head of nato. with its demands and also that there would be no rewards

for president putin, for his aggression. of course, none of this is likely to help ease the tensions that we see at the moment. well, they do has said quite clearly that it is, but nato and nato allies to make any decision over what countries can join the alliance in the future. washington has held that line to the we know that this is a red line for russia at that proposal. suggesting it was a red line was announced back in december, and that was again something we had reiterated that the talks in geneva earlier this week. that the idea nato could expand even further into former soviet union countries. is something that russia cannot accept because of the impact that would have on the country security. and there was this request, this demand yet again, from the deputy russian foreign minister, that they were iron clad guarantees that countries like ukraine in georgia will never ascend to the nato alliance. we are fed up with the loose

dog ha promises, misinterpretation of what happened, that different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other sites. so to see we need iron clad. what to prove. bullet proof, legally binding guarantees, not assurance is not safeguards guarantees. now of course, there are also these allegations that the united states and nato allies have been bonding around for several months now that russia is building up its troops on the ukrainian border and it is ready to invade. as soon as the snow melts, that is something that moscow has repeatedly denied. and in fact, moscow has said that it is kiev, that is acting as an aggressor at the moment as saying that it is failing to abide by treaties which are governing the ongoing conflict in the dumbass region in the east of the country. and meanwhile,

we've also heard some lines coming out from ukraine as well. one ukrainian m p, who is part of presidency lensky governing coalition said that once again, this is talking about ukraine without ukraine. and that might be a point that is brought up to day, given that the u. s. is said over nova delegates will be discussing lots of difficult topics over the next few hours. but the sense is that there is unlikely to be any significant if indeed any movement forward from these 2, the day. we're expecting a press conference from both sides later on wednesday, and we will be across that here on, on the international challenges in scheme, brussels that will a piece activists did tell us that the u. s. has broken its promises to moscow time and time again. all calls law has been promised that the nature wouldn't take offense eastward and not putting its military

installations closer to the russian border. that if you know from the 1997 on, there has been several waste of expansion towards the east, including former soviet union rep, every slide, the bulk space. and now that's why, for russia, it's important to have guarantees, not only spend further, as you know, in book in 2008th grade. and georgia has been promised that they become a member of nato. and this is an acceptable, this is the red line. i think for most of our proposals, made by russia loc december to fix had been presented to god. you have been called aggressive. if you look up for both i think they were considering and our many that just okay, well let's go back to our top story this because 3 prime minister boris johnson has finally apologized and admitted that he did attend a much criticized party at the height of the 1st law down,

he faced questions from m pays in parliament on the gathering that became notorious for it's alleged to bring your own booze policy. johnny nodded he thought the party was actually a work meeting but has now conceded that he should have step stopped. it from happening, the opposition leader has already called on the pm to quit branding him a man with a shame. okay, let's get some reaction now and go to a former home office minister norman baker is with us and we appreciate your time this afternoon. was your initial reaction to what you've heard in from the prime minister this afternoon? it's a grudging apology and he's only apologize because he'd been caught red handed up. so now he's been saying everything was hunky dory was following all the roles bought into worry about the prime minister has lost all credibility. he's lost the right to be prime minister. he used to resign. he took many damage, reputations as country are, the men's damage to his own party. and i think it a party will take action in due course. you said you cause i have that boris

johnson is almost every body to wait for the results of an official inquiry into what happened. was your reaction to that? because the doesn't, don't seem to be many takers. well, look, he's, he's a grasping at straws. he's hoping somehow that this inquiry will be where it is in such a way as it will from a lifeline. and you can carry on. that's what this is about. so the fact is, we know that the party, we know that now before the 2 places party with 100 people invited that the health secretary was giving a message to the nation saying you must only be one person outside your family. our doors within our chorus johnston that makes for 100 people who liked it to down the street brings aside to call a web meeting. it's a perfect and it's not a word was clearly a social event. so you know, he just, he just hanging on for grim life and hoping something will turn up,

but his time is over and he's 30 days to go. now i've got a sense of decency about him. if he doesn't resign, could he be forced by his own party members? well, it could only be for the top, i don't party m p 's actually, because that's the only way it works. i mean the opposition and clearly it doesn't lead us ulta call from to resign this morning. i think the s n p as well. the only way you'd be forced out is others who are general election or. busy in the meantime, by his own m. p. 's, his own m p. 's, some of them i think you are getting the horrified by what he has done others, it takes calculation that he is now damaged goods. i will do amends, damage to the conservative party. so about prediction, if you like. can you hear me here? first? is he, he'll be gone by the end of march while the end of march, and i've heard some people earlier, sort of defend him saying, look over all this is a small matter when you compare it to whatever prime ministers have done, for example, going to war against iraq, against international rule that was raised. but i suppose the issue is much why

there isn't it? because now britain seems to have a prime minister that people clearly contrast and he admits he does lie. well, there have been a lot going to defend until you play the iraq war. i mean, i'm on record is saying that i voted against iraq war in parliament. and i think until the catastrophic era. but you know, that's too long to make her rights. and the fact is that this prime minister has made a habit of lying. he's been lying to the house of commons. he's displayed arrogance and contempt the democratic process. he's completely untrustworthy. and you know, tony blair was untrustworthy on one issue, but he's on trustworthy johnson on everything. so, you know, we kind of have a prime minister. you can't believe it was a public fraction being, i know this news is just broken in the last hour or so, but i mean, tuning in what's your anticipation of the sort of backlash he will face from the public. i barely had a question, but i think you're asking me how you respond to the public, the public. there are of furious the this,

this cuts through every understand what's happened here. this is not enough. i came westminster issue. this is something which affects all the people, all the people who have been prevented from saying the loved ones from dying. preventive and go to funerals, not able to get married, not able to see relatives in care homes. meanwhile, the prime minister is having a party with other people in the, in the gardens of dining street. people on this, on this issue very well. i'm the are furious. okay, mr. bacon, we'll leave it there. really good to get your thoughts this afternoon. that was norman baker, a former u. k. home office minister. thanks for coming on that and other news, a bit of advice for british household struggling to heat their homes this winter. a major energy firm has told customers to cuddle that pet or the star jumped to stay warm. they were expected to double this year, while incomes will face a big squeeze, shot edwards dashti. as more on the advice that got customers fired up. are you

weighing up, eating or heating? is still the predictor to sort of 2000 pounds a year for no more as one of britain's biggest energy suppliers has come up with no one idea. the 10 ways to save on heating cost, not only laira, but get the hot rate going with some starch. i'm. and if that doesn't work, how about a comes in is a cutter with a cat? okay, i don't have a cat, but i do have this guy. another central suggestion is to leave the oven door open after cooking, the capital of your kids love and eat a hearty bowl of porridge. and of course, make sure you have a decent pair of socks or slippers. apparently, all these are simple cost effective ways to keep warm this winter. but the company can't be serious, can it? i think they've completely lost the floor on that one. i have to say a, we're not stupid,

i are we on each of the try and notes that i eating on really freezing in our, in house because we're trying to get the cost down. you just think what else was today? if that's real advice then would be slightly and salary by our i'm and i believe i know why with the event that i need to study my energy done for an extra jumper on the seminar. so yeah, i want to be in solid bio for any other company, but that doesn't say i wouldn't listen. so i would say got fixed. that would certainly the advice and to customers comes as many households are extremely worried about rising energy cost. and despite the company apologizing for the l judge, suggestion politicians have criticize the coal haunted approach. it is laughable and insulting. but then with this government's lack of an energy strategy, you almost expected those comments will be right by people who have to choose between eating and heating. if that's the state of the country we are now and i

find it quite depressing. being told to put on a instead of turning on your heating, if you can't afford it, at a time of such difficulty for so many families is plainly offensive. 2022 has already been given the total year of the squeeze of the one since a 2008 financial crash this year. wages will barely quote one of the same time. 7 bill jumped by 50 percent around 2000 pounds when britain's new energy price cap is sent in april. this means in real time, people actually get a pay cut in the situation in the for the cost of living catastrophe. i think the health information we had, the way to use that you could possibly have in business like whole support from the government. so we've been forced to close our doors. we're only we're trying to close our way back. so we're in a hotel and everything else. we use quite a lot of electricity and it's hard to find. i am terrified of the impact

of businesses in the country. not just me. when i mean small businesses struggling, i just have to stop. we pay the bounce back later government and supposedly gave us, but we've got to pay them back to order something. and i'm not going to do that. it's time to money and we were in debt anyway from the lock that i now they energy cost to sort of both electricity and gas t, sorry. i don't know how we supposed to pay them because we have no income and she is not alone. in fact, one in 3 people, a worry that bills will become totally on affordable this year. and i'm thinking the government to, for the bill. labor also piling on the pressure for the government to ditch tax hikes and scrap v a t on feel all together consent to ministers council, the 0 carbon homes program. they bond on show when development,

they launch the eco insulation program. they tore it up within one year. they were, you see, you case gas storage capacity. i don't want particularly silly moment the current foreign secretary claim solar panels were risk to domestic reproduction. all of these decisions have made this country more dependent on volatile wholesale energy prices than otherwise would have been right now we notice means as extremely situate, extremely difficult situation to really household. we also risk making archways, the bridge industry and competitive a talk, a combination of spiking prices, tax hikes, the looming entity, big bills and the government's apparent reluctance to address these issues. may actually see ridiculous ideas like cuddling pats, how people overcome this, and the upcoming winters become a reality shot. edwards, dashti, arte, london, now the bbc is facing a fresh wave of concerns about pushing like issues. one of the british broadcast is

longest serving, present his pull, the plug on his network radio show. last month after 46 years, blaming an obsession with diversity or your reese told us he was too frustrated to remain with the baby sees while agenda. it was a difficult series to record because of what one could call b, b, c. work. the bbc suggested or quietly insist that we include a certain types of guest odyssey. and they were very keen that we should have a balance of for men and women than this has been the case for many, many years. but of course, reason one has had been an under pressure or one has been persuaded that one must house persons of color or ethnic minorities. and this particular

series i was also told that we must have a disabled people taking part. and so i went along with that and i went along with the persons of color, et cetera. and i think they were all extremely good able to have on the program that i have. so that reacted against this prescription. if you that we should have certain types of people on the program. my rule has always been that we should just have people who are right for the program, who are up for it to do it. never mind what their color is or that religion is or what have you. so that is the basic was i have also been whistleblower allegations about a climate of fear at the b, b. c, over reporting on race and transgender issues with an inside is saying, the broadcast was employing overwhelming censorship. b. b. c. officials though, have repeatedly denied catering to political bias within the organization. but it

has failed to stop some of its top phases from leaving. one of them is political broadcasting, veteran andrew mark, who quit after 21 years saying he wanted to be free to speak his gaze while robert, akin here. another highly experienced journalist said he was fed up with the company's quote, institutionalized left ism module reese again, claims the broadcaster is putting pressure on reporters in various face certainly in other areas. and this is in. ready the entertainment area, so i'm, i'm, i was working and, but obviously in the political field, i'm sure that these precious do come up all the time as to the people. that money's going to interview and the things that are reporters and correspondence in its own concern. so i think that is going on and there is also, i mean the media i would change out or exists since,

since i've stuff back in 1960. i mean, particular producer i was working for the last series. i was 50 years younger than me and she was very much into to my book right on causes. and i'm so, so inevitably she pushed those and i, i resisted that to a point, but anyway, it's all over now. ah, the tennis seems to start that joke of h has admitted breaking isolation rules after catching co beat last month. the world number one all say confirmed errors in the travel form. he used to enter a stray leah for the grand slam, which starts in a week's time. he says it wasn't his fault. my agent sincerely apologizes for the administrative mistake in ticking the incorrect box about my previous travel before coming to australia. this was a human error and certainly not deliberate. now, a new twist in this story, of course,

has been developing since he was detained the border on wednesday. we'll get to that in a little minute. the latest developments in the stories that he has had admitted to misleading the australian authorities. however, he says it was an administrative era human error on the part of his age and he picked the wrong box on the paperwork. now that box refers to his travel in the 14 days prior to entering australia, we can only guess the said he hadn't traveled anywhere, but in fact, that wasn't true. he'd been in his native serbia. he travelled to spain air to train, and he had also then gone to australia via de bye. of course, that travel to australia probably wouldn't count, but the main thing is that he traveled to spain at the end of december. now that's important because the argument now isn't going on about the medical exemption, the medical exemption of course, or was because jock, which isn't as vaccinated against co. 19 australia, of course, has some of the strict tubes rules in the world as regards co with regulations. they said when he entered the country on wednesday that he didn't meet those

requirements for medical exemption. he was detained in melbourne. and afterwards on monday, a judge ruled that the roster alien government had unfairly revoked that visa and ordered it to be reinstated. that meant he could remain in australia. it meant he was free to leave the detention center. but now we have another story about his p c r t s. he said that he went here in serbia. he attended a basketball match on december. the 14th, there was a lot of reports about people testing positive for co, it on december, the 16th he said he had taken a test and then the day after there was an event with children. and there is a p c. r has didn't come back in time or for him to have known the results of that it did come back positive with an answer gen test that he took before then came back negative. so he thought that he was ok or to go to events. then there was a, another interview that he attended. he had admitted that he was wrong in doing so, but he did want to let the journalist down the medical exemption. of course that

was the original follow. he caught spots a huge diplomatic fall out. there were people protesting in the streets of melbourne outside his lawyers officer show her support for this national icon in server. we can take a look at some of the protests that happened in melbourne or on monday. oh course not only a serbia hero but all across the world in tennis. also there was the words of alex wark, the immigration minister, who said that he retains the right to cancel jock of it's his visa at any point and that regardless of any ruling, so the ruling on money would not count. if alex hawk decides to excite those powers, as it stands, joclett is still training in the hope of defending his title at the australian open of breaking that grand slam record book is very much in the balance of the moment.

all right, before we go, let's go back to our top story. a reminder, british prime minister boris johnson, has finally apologized and admitted that he did attend a much criticized party at the height of the 1st lockdown. he faced questions from m pays in parliament on the gathering that became notorious for it's alleged bring your own booze policy. johnson added, he thought the party was actually a work meeting, but his now conceded that he should have stopped it from happening. the opposition leader has called on the pm to quit branding him. and man with ag shay, that's the latest it brings you up to date. just commit to our pos for mosque. i more from us in half and ah, ah, ah

ah ah oh when i want something wrong, when i just don't hold any world to shape out, this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well the party we choose to look for common ground. yes

ma'am. oh oh, where is school back? will you elisa? typical there is only 9 but already 8 university students that away and special events. everything in a new month's appointment. let's see. yep. you got the glass doors to deal with the human. come come no recalls with now brochure nebraska and of course with them when you're special, but i was the yeah. my i was thinking what the plan was to get up to him. was anyone shipping something with, with his teacher was reason is balise. a good

price fixing is the problem. if you want a free market, you've got to let the market be free. you can have half of the market free. and then half the market fixed, you end up with the problem that we have today. with the boom bought the one business show you care to coordinate the on branch of war and watch. then here's what we have coming up. federal reserve chair jerome paul has based congress where he saw drilling on factors from inflation to the supply.
