paul: this is a big chip for boris johnson.is going to meet the two effective readers of the uae and saudi arabia to try to change their minds than terms of oil production because so far they have very much been sticking to the opec line that they do not need to pump any faster than what they are doing at the moment. they are also very much saying for the public, they want to keep their alliance with russia. russia is in the opec+ group. if he is successful and we either uae and saudi arabia pumping more oil, that will be extreme victory for the oil markets. dani: part of the story when it comes to the oil markets and the war in ukraine, the threat of the dollar and using that as sanctions. there are reports that saudi arabia will consider accepting yuan payments of oil to china. how much of a threat is this to the supremacy of the dollar? paul: this is very much part and parcel of the same story. saudi arabia has not made any decisions at the moment and there are a lot of people in the fx world are skeptical that it would acce

ah, monica johnson, berlin, welcome to the program authorities and ukraine's port city of murray. you, paul say they've agreed another temporary cease fire with russian forces. they said to renew efforts to evacuate some of the 400000 civilians trapped there in an hour's time. attempts to evacuate maria paul, and another city besieged by moscow's troops, and se and ukraine were called off on saturday. both sides accused the other of violating a temporary truce, and russian forces resumed their attacks again against several key cities. british military intelligence sources say russian forces are now deliberately targeting areas populated by civilians. a response to the ukranian resistance, which has slowed or stopped russia's advance. in spite of these increasingly brutal tactics, volunteers are still signing up to join ukraine's army men between the ages of 18 and 60. i've also been told that they must remain in the country. so that they are available for conscription. these men are determined to fight for their country, even in the face of russian firepower, and without support from nato.

paul eaton and susan glasser. susan, what's your reaction to johnson's comments? very blunt. first of all, do you agree with him?uality in time in moscow covering putin over the years. >> well, you know, i learned one thing, which is not to get too far inside the mind of putin in part because he often has told us very bluntly himself what he's doing and thinking and if you listen to putin over the previous months, you would have understood he did not consider ukraine to be an independent country and was quite serious about going after it. i'll tell you, listening to putin in recent days, especially his chilling speech at that rally, especially his speech to the nation, he sounds increasingly like a hard edge, almost figure from the 20th century dictatorships of the past in that he's willing to undergo a massive crackdown inside of russia itself and boris johnson is correct that putin has feared and worried about a quote unquote color revolution. ukraine had one back in 2004. >> yeah. i think you make excellent points. general, let me get your reaction to the news, and this is pretty alarming. u.s. officials are

paul, good morning. at the same time you have sky reporting that boris johnson is set to go to saudi to negotiate, perhapsfrom their, really encapsulating how much the west is relying on these countries. what could potential impacts be from these talks? >> oil markets will be watching closely. if the trip does go ahead and boris johnson goes to saudi arabia, in all likelihood it will be to meet crown prince mohammad bin salman, the defective ruler in the kingdom -- de facto ruler in the kingdom. the trip would be about trying to get the kingdom to increase oil production and potentially get other opec members on board with that as well. if a trip does go ahead, that might be a sign that saudi arabia is slightly closer to doing that. so far the kingdom and the other heavyweights in opec has been adamant they do not want to break up the alliance, which includes russia. they have said they do not want faster production than what they are doing right now. dani: bloomberg's paul wallace. just a quick note while we are talking about the energy markets. red headline around natural gas, france saying it has enoug

paul, i wanted to bring you in because mr lebedev is now a peer sitting in the house of lords. he was deemed a security risk in the process and boris johnsonignored that. we know that really just a — johnson ignored that. we know that really just a few _ johnson ignored that. we know that really just a few weeks _ johnson ignored that. we know that really just a few weeks within - johnson ignored that. we know that really just a few weeks within boris| really just a few weeks within boris johnson being elected prime minister in december 2019, he decided to make lebedev a member of the house of lords, it was a personal nomination. we know through documents we got that the house of lords, the semi—independent board that can that but not veto nominees was chasing lebedev for information or information that is routinely asked for. the difference in his case is that they turn to the security services for advice. it was only on the 17th of march that they finally got that advice and they met to discuss it in a committee room in parliament and were so disturbed by it, they immediately wrote to the prime minister saying that they feel deeply uncom

would be very difficult. nabarra johnson at the host of that meeting said in response to challenges quite rightly to do more. we know that we can or we must do more. paul, thank you very much for brandon talking to us from london. or cutty league, so senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations and she's joining us life from talon. thank you very much. indeed, for being with us on al jazeera, there is a growing sense that the baltic states are certainly several of them are very concerned that this action by russia could spill over from ukraine and engulf them . how realistic of fear do you think that that is? i think we need to ask how good, what happened? many people in the baltic states really seemed to think that once russia manage his talk it by your crane, but baltic states will be next target. they have a concept but put in once to restore with soviet union, all former russian empire, and gather as much land as he possibly can. and of course, the tall mar of 1940 that many people still remember when russia occupied the politic states, but set off invigorates. but we'll now my own veal as a russia watcher is slightly different

paul, they are rolling third quarter against the knicks, who were up 10 gets little chippy. you know anything about julius randle? he takes no guff, hard nosed as it gets with the knicks and cameron johnsons ejected fast forward final moments. alex burke missed the free throw, and it is cameron johnson at the buzzer. 38 points career high for him, as the sons were down to at the time they never led in the entire second half. and they wind up beating the buzzer 1 15 to 1 14. the major league baseball lockout continues. i don't feel bad for the players certainly don't feel bad for the owners, only the workers, the ancillary people who put in all the work at the ballpark and such man, they are the true losers. but it just continues the lockout with the owners attempting to pressure the players into signing that agreement, so lopsided, it's almost ridiculous and it's developed into a hissing match. from a far fans don't want to hear about the ugly details. they just want to see the game they love doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime. spoon the two sides don't even have a formal meeting dates, said. and on the murphy mac show knbr this morning giants austin's slater spoke about. it
