in a video release, just hours before maurice johnson's visit, soldiers tested rocket artillery systems, just north of the crimean peninsula, which russia invaded, an annex from ukraine in 2014. both sides are preparing for war. while the diplomats try to make peace. earlier we spoke to our correspondent matches billing a in g s, and we asked them how president putin's remarks were received in ukraine put in has had a few remarks about ukraine in the recent month. he has also elaborated on his historical view has, has called ukrainians and russians of has said they were, they had been being in a, in a historic union. they were brotherly peoples and her has justified his, his claims on ukraine by these historic m. her. these historic claims are all this has not been received very well in ukraine. ukrainians see themselves as very distinct of russians. and increasingly so while the country was 20 years ago, still divided out of whether on whether it should be leaning towards russia or other to the west that has dramatically shifted in the past few years, especially since the 2014. since t

didn't the door go with sir, that'd be a fusion, i should just say, given that a lot of talk about maurice johnson said this reliance on russian resources something dropped from the bloomberg agency saying that may be, and it's just an estimate of prediction by one of their analysts. the payments since vladimir putin recognized new hands and don't yet by the u. s. u. k. and e. u to russia may amount to $700000000.00 because of the 3 and a half 1000000 barrels of russian oil. $350000000.00 of oil and refined products. $250000000.00, russian natural gas to learn a medium called new. absolutely. right. and we are seeing the numbers going through the roof. you're absolutely right. we are seeing numbers at the moment, going to the roof oil going through the roof. the ruble went down. it seems to have boyd itself back up to a certain extent, but action returns to the host of our program going on to ground. i wish i had more time. i don't see you soon. what is important to understand the men's agreements applies to both sides of the crate and conflict to withdraw weapons from the front line. now thousand

and asking reports to leave the dutch premise to come a day later, so he could meet maurice johnson. so i think the average, ukraine's and even lots of policy makers here are not following this blow by blow. but it's just too much. i think the big takeaway from yesterday was a comment we heard from a criminal adviser saying that putin had complained to joe biden, that the west was not doing enough to pressure you crane into fulfilling the peace process. the deal on that 7 year conflict in his new crane in the way that russia sees it in the way that russia would like it. somebody ukraine thinks would basically mean a permanent russian veto on ukraine sovereignty. so complaints there from russia, but no sense that this is going anywhere in a hurry. so western leaders or may be coming to cube, but they're telling their nationals in the country to leave the country to those departures, worry ordinary ukrainians. i think they really do, and i think that's news yesterday that the u. s. embassy was during down most with staff that some staff being moved to western ukraine, closer to the bor

ross: maurice johnson responded on twitter in the last few minutes saying she served our country with dedication and distinction over the past decades, making our streets safe . i spoke to a retired senior british police officer who is accrete -- chief constable of the greater manchester police. >> there's no question cressida dick was one of the brightest, one of the most competent police leaders of her generation. the trouble is we've now seen a succession of metropolitan police commissioner's leave under a lot of pressure. it has happened to others as well. so there is no question that there have been a whole series of events that could've been ndled in a different way. the fact is, it's just the sheer pressure of being the metropolitan police commissioner , and it is now increasingly politicized. you got all the pressure of 24 hour news and social media, and you've also got to please your boss. things like trying to tackle misogyny, yes, is something always that you must do, but as always, you're talking about ndamental change. to change the nature of policing and the work officer

dominic cummings, who has gone public over the weekend, saying that he's trying to actually remove maurice johnson from office for the moment that looks unlikely. johnson has survived countless scandals in the past. his many enemies are now eagerly awaiting the outcome of the police prob, shortly chosen pill is covering the party gates scandal force. she sent this assessment from one of the publication of this report had been billed to the make or break moment for the prime minister, a time off to which amendment in party would decide on his political future. now that report has now been watered down in light of the fact that there is a police investigation also ongoing. the c grier port. this, as it's being cool, does not go into any details about any of the alleged gatherings in light of a request from the police not to do so. so it doesn't carry the weight that it once is thought to have done full members of the prime minister's own party. they'll have to decide whether it's enough for them to gather to hand in that lapse is recognizing that they don't have any confidence in the prime minister

you must stay at home in march 2020 as cove at 19 spread across the world. maurice johnson placed britain in an emergency locked down. the government's overriding aim was to keep the corona virus contained to do that. it would need to rely on the state being fit for purpose. the initial response to the pandemic fundamentally relied on a state structure, an infrastructure that had been already hollowed out. the state becomes increasingly dependent on 2 kinds of private site to companies, bonnie's management, consultancies, so they are often brought in to help the state to reorganize services to assist in the, in, basically in the privatization process. and secondly, the state becomes relying on outsourcing companies. so companies that step forward in cycle ok will bit to take on this part of the public services. the state becomes reliant on management consultancies to tell you what to do, to tell it how to govern and also becomes dependent on these private companies to actually run an offer, provide basic social services. but essentially ministers were pulling on leavers in white hole that

some lawmakers suspect maurice johnson is using ukraine to distract attention from the unfailing party gate scandal at home. a nevertheless, the government says one of the new measures is planning is to seize property from wealthy russian nationals. it seems to be only galks reporting from westminster. his he's rally pers johnson you would think would have bigger political issues. 2 to deal with, but in a raucous house of commons, the prime minister wanted to focus minds away from his own political woes and on to what he says is the danger posed by russia and its president vladimir putin. now, all this comes off to the u. k. government of already sent a number of its military forces to the ukraine for what they say are training exercises, as well as sending funds for the purchases of weapons. forrest johnson was supposed to hold a telephone call with the russian president on monday afternoon. the got pushed back to monday evening and now has been rearranged for shoes day. and those in moscow will be looking on with some amusement because they feel like all of this. a so cool, tough tal

committee says practice may trade more expensive and more complicated. despite best prime minister, maurice johnson is still defending the departure the statistic, se otherwise. but prime minister boris johnson is still trying to paint briggs it as a success story. his appointed european union critic, jacob re smoked to become the so called briggs at opportunities minister. and he told parliament the e u was to blame for any possible problems resulting from the post briggs at trade agreement, old country to the way his name apply by our friends. it does not require that all foods and all mentioned little applause to be systematically checked in the way that they are mister speaker and i. we must fix it and with good will and with common sense, i believe we can fix it. mister speak of it. if our friends don't show the requisite common sense, then of course, or we will trigger audible 60 that would mean suspending the current deal with the e. u. something brussels warns could lead to a wider trade war. the current situation is already bad for businesses. according to a parliamentary report presented

the british people's disgust, and what they had to do and went through and were told to do by maurice johnson during corona virus is to cover up because we must remember a boss johnson who is be known not to tell truth, and he was fired from the barclay brothers danny telegraph for a line. according to them, he said at the beginning there were no parties. then he said that there were events that he didn't know about. that he said he went to the then he said he went to the body, but didn't know it was a body. this kind of chaos is led to well within the past few hours, public didn't see ations of him by m. p. 's on his own side and mainstream media here reporting that it could well trigger a lead ship contest i, which could lead to the end of his political career. so obviously there could be some real accountability very soon, but in the present, from your observations, do you think this controversy is affecting other areas of leadership like johnson being one of the only leaders who are echoing by didn't defensive ukraine. and the british people feel adamant about sending support to ukraine i

um maurice johnson lie to your party about the protocol. well, he certainly before he actually had the satan himself made promises that he would do the things which theresa may done them conveniently because he needed to get a withdrawal agreement. he accepted the cm terms as treason a had tried to push through the height of comment on which he was against. so yes, he did not. he and he was not truthful on this. and that's why we're saying he has an obligation. if he wants to keep the united kingdom together, if he wants to ensure that the people of northern ireland, differently from people in other parts of kingdom, he lost them on day the protocol. and don't forget, i mean, you talk with breaking the law of breaking the law. the protocol itself actually has probation for changes to me and the political declaration which accompany nathan, it's not revocable. you keep saying it's irrevocable, but it's not irrevocable. the northern protocol, is it? no, no, it's not the piano to go. we are we, we have said that the protocol itself and the leg

k. prime minister maurice johnson has done during his term, his removal of free school lunches for the poor children in this country is presiding over one of the worst karone of our death tools in the world. the worst comes in and out statistically in western europe in terms of death. and so people are saying, why, why, why is it that policies, but of course, very serious, because infamously, and it's been widely reported when the queen's husband died, she had to the pictures of a loan in a chapel. meanwhile, johnson stuff were all partying. and this offering, this to me, is it the british people's disgust and what they had to do and went through with told to do my boss johnson during corona virus. it's a cover up because we must remember both johnson who is not to tell truth. he was fired from the barclay brothers, danny telegraph for a line. according to them. he said at the beginning, there were no parties that he said, there were events that he didn't know about. that he said he went just. then he said he went to the body, but didn't know it was a body. this kind of chaos is led to

the only winners arms companies and leaders like maurice johnson who face the prospect of a police interrogation. here in london, we examine both sides of the ukraine crisis. all the small coming up in today's going underground at 1st is both ukrainian and russian president. try to ease fears of a russian invasion of ukraine, nato nation leaders embroiled in domestic political battles at home heightened fears of a war with moscow. joining me now from here in london to discuss the way out of this crisis is the biographer of john maynard keynes lords cadell sky emeritus professor of political economy at war conversing. thank you so much and looks good housekeeper coming on to the joe biden administration. kind of flip flops at the invasion was imminent. now it's any day boss. johnson's foreign secretary list trusting russia denials about invading ukraine or false, or at least leverage has to prove it. am sure your take on this week's events. i was a better ask 1st. well, i, i think the unit stoking up the tension out, but i mean, in a way i, i think the west is at the moment and particularly, but

because sir, you think maurice johnson, who sees himself as chilean churchill, of course, who famous he said george or rather than war war, he ruled out any negotiations whatsoever as regards the ukraine crisis and was applauded, seemingly, they got abroad actually in the house of commons under the rules with support and seemingly, by most of the london as a common, there is no negotiation now with russia. now what that means, no negotiation is anybody's guess because he's a nuclear armed powers, britain and russia. if britain is it war with russia, seemingly surely talks and coming to the table and some kind of discussion is the only way to sort this crisis out. but note, as far as britain is concerned, talks are often of course we did see antony blinking, calling off the talks in geneva in the past 24 hours with his russian card about so gay lover of another example, perhaps of nato saying talks are over at now it's about pouring weapons in to ukraine, and certainly there seem to be indications that major countries are gonna for ever more weapons that make ever more profits for arm

k. prime minister maurice johnson has done during his time is removal of free school lunches for the poor. as children in this country is presiding over one of the worst karone of ours death tools in the world, the worst it comes in and out statistically in western europe in terms of death. and so people are saying, why, why, why is it parties because it is very serious, because infamously, and it has been widely reported when the queens and died, she had to have pictures alone in a chapel. meanwhile, of course, johnson stuff for all partying and is so often in this, is it the british peoples of disgust and what they had to do and went through and were told to do by morris johnson. during corona virus, it's a cover up because we must remember a boss johnson who is be known not to tell truth. and he was fired from the barclay brothers danny telegraph for relying according to them. he said at the beginning there were no parties. then he said that there were events that he didn't know about, that he said he went to the then he said he went to the body, but didn't know it was a body. thi

i'm going to talk about maurice johnson. hello, shiela was dashti and say he was on a plane to ukraine, his face and all that stuff back at home with party gate, etc. but lily's been highly criticized her for miss nicole tutor hotel. yes, they what's been happening today while morris johnson has now landed in k, as he's been speaking with the ukranian president, they've come up with a joint estate men, both leaders warning that any russian in cash would be a strategic mistake pointing to the russian troops on the eastern border as far as johnson, very robust, and his rhetoric today really upping the ante now saying that any escalation from russia would be not only a strategic disaster, but a political one and the humanitarian disaster as well. he says, so there's a package of sanctions just there. the ready should any russian soldier even put a co cap into the u. ukrainian territories that quite the threat but also saying since 2015 the u. k. as assisted in the military assistance of 22000 ukrainian military past now. well,

as maurice johnson holds an emergency motion today . yes he's. he's definitely showing signs that he's making ukraine an absolute top priority for this government, and possibly a welcome distraction from his own trouble. so he returned from a long awaited a tour of no thing than yesterday. cat cut it short, canceled it for that phone call with biden yesterday, and an emergency cobra meeting. earlier. now he much from that meeting, trying to strike a balance between optimism and realism. optimistic saying he seeing some diplomatic openings with russia, saying that we're seeing rush, an openness to conversations, but realistic saying that more signs on the ground, a showing or pointing to a potential invasion. and he said the intelligence he's heard is not encouraging. and how it's referring to the briefing he will have got from his security chief much which will obviously remain classified. but what he did share was the building of those field hospitals in batteries and the build up of tactical troops along the border, which he said is not a reass

the picture that we have seen today published by the daily mirror was published just as maurice johnsonst given that statement about looking to relax coronavirus regulations. of course in that time of the prime minister talks was mp saying he wants to be the agenda back away from all of the scandal around parties and to move on from that and what we see with this and with the police announcement is that that simply is not proving possible. these things, these pictures and allegations keep coming up and in this picture the prime minister and three other staff and one has to cancel on a one has a hat on there is a bottle of open sparkling wine on the table and with the police said at the end of the day was that they are not considering whether this event should be added to those being investigated. dentistry is always said the prime ministerjust drop by and happened to drop in on a zoom quiz here, but again this is dragging the attention back onto theseissues dragging the attention back onto these issues and not with the prime minister was trying to turn the focus to at prime minister's q

and it's tanya minister of justice. maurice lowery threatens anyone who dares to 3 broadcast russian people, channels and criminal persecution. after the war, johnson, they don't like british prime minister, decided to revisit the decision of issue a license to r t media hold in on the, on the following his order. the discussion was initiated in the bridge loan to value that that you would do the going is met. but he's live with pools made by a variety of political activists to ban r t broadcast, heard and from, from a limited with. the english regulator is already initiated investigation against the company. ludicrous charges really not allowed to tell us that he's a great station is revoked with these and others examples of moderation, quote unquote of media space is a sensor sensor for them plain and simple what's called the state level, which so it's pointless. and perhaps in the brussel funny futile efforts to try to come up with the urge people to comply with their own human right defense mechanism . they will not comply with our own requirements actually in an bonafide that they have effectively race to the ground. i need any sort of standar
