boris johnson is facing angerfor comparing ukrainians resisting russia to people in britain voting for brexit who've chosen to stay in ukraine's capital. hello, welcome to the programme. in an address to members of the israeli parliament, ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has questioned why some countries officially appear to be indifferent to russia's invasion of his country. israel — which has ties to both ukraine and russia — has taken a somewhat neutral position during the war. let's have a listen to some of what he said. translation: listen - to what the kremlin is saying, simply listen to that. they even used such terminology that were mentioned then, when the nazi party was marching through europe and wanted to destroy everyone and everything, to subjugate peoples and to destroy us and you completely, without even a word. they were calling it the "final solution" for thejewish question. you remember that. and you will never forget that. but you are hearing they are speaking these words again, "the final solution." 0ur israel correspondent, yolande knell, was listening to that sp

brexit? i don't think that, i don't think it exists. for me, britain is part of the european culture.ere in these days to london. a hungarian orchestra comes here. we have music lovers here in britain who speak the same language, the language of music. i think it's all one family, not these little groupings, how people lock themselves up in nations. i think in 300 years or 400 years, we will remember this period like we remember the medieval cities with their city walls, and now they have become tourist attractions. that's a fascinating answer. and you made no reference at all to the political realities of your home country. i mean, prime ministerviktor orban is currently waging some sort of political war with the eu institutions in brussels. he stands accused of violating fundamental european values when it comes to the rule of law and human rights. you live in a state where funding for cultural activities is tied to, you know, meeting the requirements of the fidesz party and mr orban and his ideology. i don't know whether your own festival orchestra has seen any funding pressures, a

britain. and he singled out the vote for brexit in that., that has subsequently drawn a lot of criticism from, not just, i have to say, political opponents. but also people inside the conservative party. one person message me this morning saying they thought it was inappropriate. theresa may's former chief of staff has also criticized. someone has gone on court record to criticize it. this is something of a storm, because people think that was inappropriate. then there was a second thing that perhaps raised even more eyebrows. he alleged that had labor been in power, then they would have basically waked up the white flag to president putin. a serene essentially surrender. that was his allegation. of course, infuriating labor. they have done a very clear job of showing and saying that they stand with the prime minister on the nato action against president putin. so, many angered by those comments. boris johnson, of course, has a habit of doing this kind of thing. but not everybody in his own party likes it. i have to say, afterwards talking

post-brexit arrangements have posed challenges to this historic agreement, both sides have worked in good faith to resolve them. this resolution also encourages both the european union and great britain to continue acting in good faith negotiations to have the post-brexit protocols. i support a workable trade not only if he north-south irish land border but also the border between ireland and great britain. i urge my colleagues to support the lasting peace in northern ireland by joining me in supporting this resolution. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. keating: thank you, madam speaker. i want to thank the gentleman for his support, the gentleman from pennsylvania, and for his bipartisan efforts at healing and moving forward. with that, i yield three minutes to a friend of ireland, a friend of mine, a champion of civil rights causes, the representative from pennsylvania, mr. boyle, for three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. boyle: thank you, madam chair. and i thank my good friend from the commonwealth of massachusetts as well as my fellow pennsylvan

britain more internationally competitive. david cameron succeeded but after he left we abandoned his average and that's billions in red tape kroses. last month brexit documents repeat the mistakes, can i urge the prime minister to step in before it's too late otherwise the blob will win and we'll fail to deliver a key benefit of brexit? >> mr. speaker i'm delighted to say we have a new secretary of state for pros-preks sit freedom. and he is driving a campaign to reform, repeal, and replace outdated legislation and regulation across the board and i don't know about the blob, mr. speaker, i can think of no more fearsome antagonist for the blob than my right honorable friend. >> mr. speaker, satellite images show a 40-mile-long convoy of military hardware heading toward surrounding the city of -- cities of ukraine. we know from grozny what the sweks of vladimir putin will be. hundreds of thousands of people are going to be murdered in these cities. think of -- in this house, everybody, think of your families. think of your neighbors. think of relatives you might have abroad. they are going to be murdered. the prime minister has led the world in react

brexit happened because of migration. do you foresee this migration becoming destabilizing politically in europe and should the united states and great britain take more refugees from ukraine? >> well, as you know, we have of course, it goes without saying extended the visas of ukrainians present here under tps and i think so farer we're not hearing from the ukrainians crossing the border other than those with select family members in the united states but we're not hearing an outpouring of a desire to go further afield. remember, these families have left their husbands, sons and fathers behind and want to stay close and above all, they want to go home. they expect to win the war and expect to return to their homes and get about the business of rebuilding and i know that feels a long way off looking at some of the gasly images from today but that is the conviction of the people who are there. if we start to see the kinds of population flow that we were referring to earlier, absolutely. i think every country has to consider, you know, what it's share of the responsibility is to welcome individuals who are part of that flow but for now, again,

living in ukraine, where they are fighting a russian invasion, he compared that to people in britain voting for brexite in, what country you are in, people have a strong desire for self—determination. that was a general point. to suggest he was trying to say what is going on in ukraine and uk was somehow comparable, that was not the case. many other people have interpreted his comments differently. quite a few comments, donald tusk, the former president of the european council, called the comments offensive. do you think boris johnson may be made a mistake? i don't, i think what he was talking about was this desire for self—determination. when it comes to borisjohnson and ukraine, it's hard to find any world leader that has done more to support ukraine at this time, whether that is with military support, humanitarian support, support, humanitarian support, support internationally, he is a prime minister that his talking to president zelensky of ukraine on a very regular basis offering whatever support we can as a country. and it's right that we have that kind of approach to ukraine.— it's right that w

britain to. >> it's the instincts of the people of this country, like the people of ukraine to choose freedom every time. when the british people voted for brexit in such large numbers i didn't think that it was because that they were hostile to foreigners, it was because they wanted to be free. >> then, this, and -- that they reject entirely, that his opponents would not stand up to putin. >> do we want them in charge, my friends? do we want them running this continent? do you see them standing up to putin's blackmail? >> it's not normal to alphatauri conference like this one with the prime minister delivering a foreign policy heavy speech. but the political message isn't that subtle, boris johnson was telling his activists a story about a government with purpose, that's delivering with morality at its core, very different from the kind of headlines these activists were reading about earlier today. >> the big smiles. >> earlier this week, plenty of stories we're talking about ousting boris johnson from number 10. >> they won't be doing that now, i think everyone is behind him. he has got all the cabinet behind him now. >> does anybody think it

but moving up to present day, england, great britain, when they separated, when they decided to do the brexitly think putin's kgb tactics were at play. i really do believe that, and i wish someone would check into that. as far as ukraine goes, you know what i think? i think i feel sorry for all the civilians. civilians always suffer. it is the hierarchy, the bosses, and everything who are always safe. i have nothing against the russian people. they don't make decisions. and perhaps if they decided to stick together and russian military -- together, the russian military would see what is going on. perhaps they need to develop a coup and go from there because the russian people, the everyday person needs the same freedom. they suffer, too. the same thing goes with china. i knew that russia was not going to attack or do anything until the olympics were over. i even said that to my girlfriend, and i am surprised nobody ever mentioned that. yeah. i just think that it is a sad situation. and unfortunately, people are not going to learn. people do not understand history. they are not being taught hi
