and in doing so, rock the u. k. public of access to information ortiz policy or bring this up to date with their a big development today. paula, thanks very much on some of paul, his main points there. let's talk them through with a political commentator anthony webber in the u. k. and say thanks for taking time to speak to us today. so there we have it. the british media regulator off come revoking our t at broadcast license. how expected in the country was this move? do you think? well, our, our taking has, has been service for completely political decision. and it's a huge shame on our regulatory profile. so i personally think during my mom a door should resign because clearly i recall i'm it shows the outcome is not independent. so then partial, i actually my so right to off come on the fall from march. i'm pointed out to number of things which they need to, to the investigation at the same time regarding the out the mainstream media in the u. k. push it out such as they were going to investigate or save for re

and the u. k. has said that the reason why i have not been able to do so for all this time is because it has had to abide by the laws of the sanctions under which iran is on the sanctions from the west and from western countries. now, what they've managed to do this is why the prime minister boris johnson was it was saying that this negotiation between iran and the u. k was really going up to the line because there are a lot of details that were needing to go through this example. the issue of how the payment was being made. now, the foreign minister and his trust has said in parliament on wednesday when she presented her statement to the house of commons that the payment was made. but it is actually being written, ring fangs, rent, sorry, ring fenced, for humanitarian purposes. so that convents the issue of giving it directly to iranian state banks, which currently is not allowed to do because of those functions. nevertheless, the families of not means ago, ratcliffe, and of course, a new sure re

but the u. k. has for a long time, they are laid out a very large, thick attracted red carpet to our wealthy people from overseas. i'm. it's been a cool part of particularly london's economy to support itself by offering attractive offshore services to wealthy people from notice from russia, from, from the gulf, from, from sub saharan africa, from wherever. really, if you're rich, you know, come on in. russians have been an important subsets of that, not the most important, but still, that bought a substantial amount of property in west london as well as if you had earlier, you know, more valuable assets, electrical club, so old. oh, fine art. and so you're painting the picture of a situation that's been building for years if not even decades to so i guess my question is, 1st of all, what do you think you can, government should do? and when it comes to timing's, i mean, how quickly can, can it come to any kind of achievement? what, when it comes to putting pressure on russia, the moments, the sanct

the u. k, with its limits today cropped could bottom that big column of russian tanks that are heading towards kiev. but what would then happen then? if the u. k, entered this war at present, prime minister johnson decided to do those things. then they chose article 5 would be invoked, would mean all of all 30 countries, including the u. s. would be at war with russia. we would then have been a drought drama if you had a war evolving nato and russia, that is world war 3. and there are nuclear weapons involved. so that is the reason that the nato powers are stopping where they are. but there are big questions about they've done until now, certainly that the ukrainians are asking they all. now, in recent days, since this all started, 126 hours, i think was, was said by prime minister johnson in that period, huge amounts of weaponry of being sent to you, cried the truth is that it's going to be very difficult to get those weapons from poland to the people who need them in ukraine. they've left it

and the u. k. sanction more than $380.00 russian politicians for voting to recognize 2 ukrainian separate regions that run up to the war. the sanctions target politicians in russia's lower house of parliament, the duma, those blacklisted with band from travelling to b, u. k. the measures will also stop them accessing any u. k based assets. so doing business in the country and mehta and the company that owns facebook and instagram could soon be banned in russia as an extremist organization. the move is in response to facebook announcing the bits relaxing its rules on call to violence. is now a partial exception. when the target is russian troops in ukraine. so those are the headlines. the news continues here now jazeera of the inside story station. thanks so much bye for now. on counseling, because the u. s. brands washing oil and the you to shrink its reliance on washing gas or high prices undermine global energy security. how sanctions against moscow are pattering deviation in the street and reel

paul m r t u k. a license is gone. a decision that off come itself admitted was less to do with actual wrong doing or mistakes on their part, but rather how we could possibly do our jobs independent of the state. i believe. well, that's exactly the point. i mean, normally when a channel is banned, he would imagine that was bend in relation to the content that is full costing. and what we see here is that in fact, instead of fighting any kind of reasons related to our content, it rather talks about the fact in terms of who funds the channel. the fact that the, the ban order comes and is related to russia's military operation in ukraine taken, listen, this investigation has taken the count of a number of factors including artes, relationship with the russian federation. it is recognized, the art is funded by the russian state, which has recently invaded a neighboring sovereign country. we also note new laws in russia which effectively criminalize any independent journalism that the parts and emotion states news narrative

that comes after 6 countries, including the u. k. a new s accused russia deliberately targeting civilians and ukraine with london insisting it has very strong evidence of law. mere putting himself is behind such actions. the kremlin has rubbish. the british allegations and the russian ministry of defense has reported that the lou ganske republic no controls more than 90 percent of its territory. not the ukrainian military earlier attacked residential areas of melee kopel with cluster warheads, russia, essays, it helped repel the attack. we'll dig deeper into all this. our you're in moscow. over 200000 people packed a stadium on friday to celebrate the 8th anniversary of crimea, rejoining russia. the concert kicked off with the russian anthem of the capital's biggest sports complex, the loose nikki, with thousands of people watching on from the styles. those in attendance got the chance to take part in a video call with the crimean city of service. the whole event is called crimean spring dedicated to the historic referendum when the

the u. k was one of the u. k. was one of the 1st european countries to send defensive lethal security assistance to ukraine. and the government is imposed severe financial sanctions on president putin, his inner circle, russian, oligarchs, and others who enable and fuel as aggression. just days ago, the house of commons passed a new economic crime built and making it easier to sanction groups of corrupt individuals and harder for those trying to hide their money in the u. k. yesterday, in the latest of the many steps that we've taken together to hold the criminal accountable, president biden banned all imports of russia. oil liquefied natural gas and coal prime minister johnson committed to ban on ports of russian oil. by the end of 2022 were also united in calling on the kremlin to immediately allow ukrainian civilians to safely depart the cities and towns of ukraine that are besieged by russian forces. every country has a responsibility to join us in pressing moscow to do this. this is not the time to equivocate

not comes after 6 countries, including the u. k. us accused russia of deliberately targeting civilians in ukraine with london insisting it has very strong evidence. lab mere potent himself is behind such actions. the criminal as rubbish to the british allegations. the russian ministry of defense has reported that the lou ganske republic now controls more than 90 percent of its territory outing. ukrainian military earlier attack residential areas of melee total with cluster warheads. russia phase, it help repel the attack, will dig deeper into all but this on the, and some insights on the piece talks with ukraine, the head of russia delegation was a mirror within ski, say the 2 countries have achieved, quote, some progress with regard to ukraine's neutral status and the independence of don bus. there are some issues that should be discussed additionally, like how, who will be there? congress, who guarantee her safer to the security of ukraine? if ukraine doesn't, doesn't try to enter the nato who will controlled on bus is one of the

now the opposition labor party here in the u. k. have criticized this visit in terms of well kissed armor the labor leader had said, boris johnson is going cap in hand from dictator to dictator. and what he should be doing is introducing a win for tax on earth, put it on a, those are hydrocarbon produces here in the u. k. or which would enable energy prices to come down in this country. a win for tax is something that many people would like to see here in the u. k. but at the moment, the main criticism is on. as you were referring to those executions in saudi arabia, via killing of jamal i shall g, the journalist, and so on. well, this trust the foreign secretary has been saying that urge you to the situation, you crate, and the great threat that russia was posing it into international security. britain has to reach out to a government even if the british government doesn't like what they are doing well. i mean that is quite an understatement in terms of public opinion here in the u. k . so they are clearly sensitive to those critic

so the u. k, it seems, is signaling that it's going to do something similar, but it's very hard, i think, for many of the european union countries, and particularly for germany to follow with this. now, although we've heard from senior european leaders, just speaking again on twitter in the last couple of hours, i sort of on the line who is the president, the europe in commission, say somebody europe is going to have to do it was going to have to do anyway, changing its energy supplies because of the environment to, to go more green. it's not going to have to speed up that process. and throughout all of this, president brewton has forgiven me. president lincoln has been i'm sorry, us secretary of state antony blink and has been having meetings with french president, a manual macro. we understand the talks are still going on. france, of course being one of the biggest economies in the european union, just talk us around what, what is happening there? well, i think this is part of the very constant

now, the ukranian president for laudermill lr lensky urged the u. k. to do more to help russia financially when he addressed the british parliament this week. london is seen as a key front in the economic battle with large amounts of russian money flowing through the u. k. capital each year. but could it be about to shed its reputation as an oligarchy? playground from their bigot mass reports. we have an appointment at the ritz, one of the swankiest addresses in london with bill browder. he was once one of russia's top foreign born investors, but quickly became an opponent of flooded me put in before being expelled from the country. he is now living in london and is one of the kremlin biggest critics. britain has been a soft spot for dirty russian money for last 20 years. they've come here and they, they like the rule of law. they like the property rights. and they like the fact that nobody's going to ask any questions. we're heading to the posh district of burg ravia to eat and square, nicknamed red square, asking prices for a 5 bedroom flat here, whi

or wondering whether it's taken a war in europe for the u. k. government to seriously change that mega mos in london forest there, that's all from us for now until next time. ah ah, ah, with ah, ah, the war and the world economy where all this sanctions biting. how is the role in energy prices, supply problems, resource shortages. this the next economic crisis made in germany in 30 minutes on the w o. making the headlights and what's behind van d. w. news africa. the show that faculty issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally on the street to give you enough reports on the inside our cars fund that was on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the trends about the mazda u. t. w. news, africa every friday on d. w. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge gr

here in the u. k. that did reference those $29.00 investigations going on as you were talking about saying that that was a fairly unusual situation. it did go to pains to stress that they had taken into account people's rights to a range of information and free speech considerations. but having to balance that with the importance of keeping public trust in the broadcasting regulatory system. now also you have responded that deputy editor in chief and belkin a had said that off come with this judgment has showed that despite a well constructed facade of independence, it is nothing more. busy than a tool of government bending to its media suppressing. will scott griffin is a deputy director at the international press institute. he says, the move is a blow to the kremlin from our point to view any time media place is bad or sanctioned in this way, the very, very serious position. no matter the circumstances and any type of decisions such as the one that i've taken should be subject to very strict scrutiny

that's the u. k. fail to get the middle east producers to increase supplies in a bid to mitigate some of the impact the use agreed to subsidize hostiles, and companies hit hardest by spiking energy costs for, with more now on her, the crippling sanctions on russia being felton pockets much further afield, here's our t charlotte duban scheme. the west has repeatedly said it's not at war with russia . and i guess we are not waging war against russia off your opinions today, but we support the grain. we are not part of this conflict. nato is not seeking a war with russia, and we are not interested in getting into world war 3 in a conventional military sense, such as on the ground that is exactly true. but unlike the wolf that is unfolding in ukraine at the moment with fruit and soldiers, war doesn't have to be full like batch b stays into a new dimension in warfare. crippling economic sanctions. ok, so waging economic sanctions isn't exactly a new idea. in fact, us president woodrow wilson once describe

a police in the u. k are trying to break up a protest at a mansion believe to belong to an ally of russian president vladimir putin. the squatters want the house of all a dairy pass girl to how's ukrainian refugees? sonya gag has more. well, we're in an area of london that's known informally as oligarchs course, namely for the amount of super wealthy russian individuals who bought property here . and the house of most interest in one day here is a house behind me, belongs to the alimony market. very pasco, who himself has come on to you. k sanctions since last week. now the group that have taken it over us said they want to give over the 7 bedroom property over to ukraine in refugees. and they also criticize the government for not doing enough to help people fleeing the war. and they say that the u. k. government is doing more to protect the interest of those oligarchy. now, while the government was fiercely criticized for not doing enough to get refugee settled into the country, they're also launching a

today the u. k. is joining our dutch and canadian friends to mobilize more practical and sustained support for ukraine. our new international ukraine support group will coordinate the efforts of the international community to provide long term and unwavering assistance. now and in the future. and we will be encouraging more countries to join us. this is the moment for ukraine's friends to create a coalition of humanitarian, economic, and defensive military support, to ensure that putin fails. and that's why today i'm announcing a further 175000000 pounds of u. k aide for ukraine, $100000000.00, which will be provided directly to the ukranian government. this brings the total u. k. support announced during this crisis to around 400000000 pounds. after 12 days, it's already clear that putin has made a miscalculation, he is underestimated the ukrainians. their heroic resistance is underestimated their leader. and he has underestimated the unity of the west. and we will continue as colleagues to do every

the u. k. on friday, announce sanctions against 386 russian parliamentarians who supported president vladimir putin sworn ukraine. it's the latest blow to russia's elite. the countries, oligarchs have become targets of western sanctions with their money yachts in real estate being seized. one den, which has long been known as a playground for russian oligarchy, is particularly in focus there get mass reports. we have an appointment at the ritz, one of the swankiest addresses in london with bill browder. he was once one of russia's top foreign born investors. but quickly became an opponent of letting me put in before being expelled from the country. he is now living in london and has one of the kremlin biggest critics. britain has been a, i'm a soft spot for dirty russian money for last 20 years. they've come here. ah, they, they like the rule of law. they like the property rights. and they like the fact that nobody's going to ask any questions. we're heading to the posh district of berg ravia t

now the u. k. is broadcast regulator is revoke the license of the russian government r c channel off. com says it does not consider all seem to be fit and proper to hold a license and cannot be considered a responsible broadcaster. the channel had been facing 29 separate investigations over its coverage of the ukraine war, the kremlin, as called the decision madness. at the baba joins us now. live from london, not every day. we hear about a step like this from off. come, how unprecedented is this or something. it's not completely unprecedented. back in 2012. the iranian channel. it radian government, but channel press tv. last fits license to broadcast the u. k. over a judgement that it, it's editorial oversight was being run by ron. so it was an independent editorially . and then just a year ago, china's c g t. n was taken off the air here because it was dean's to be controlled by china's communist party. and auntie itself has been fined in the past for breaches of impartiality rules. that's been

and the u. k. has said that the reason why i have not been able to do so for all this time is because it has have to abide by the laws of the sanctions under which iran is on the sanctions from the west and from western countries. still ahead on the news our, the scramble for additional oil, the u. k. prime minister channels to the u. e. n. saudi arabia, despite concerns about rights abuses in saudi. and what lies beneath will show you how an ancient undergone city could reveal what happened in yvonne 1500 years ago in support at korea high school for berkeley, medstar tyree irving general have the highlights. ms. foreman's coming. ah, well i didn't started hurling down the gulf, so this wind here which is sort of with this line of clear that finger the cold front attempt, they're coming down. so what was warm and all this was about 10 degrees above average. only 24 hours goes now as a drop down to below average the warm squeezed out into omar. that's what happens when winter still exists, as it do

and if week about politicians, the u. k. l strength, and where you cop and change their policies that messes and again to suffer enormously. and in fact, one full p paper up latins did she mention that these functions work again, that you carry about the u. k. would south a far more, and it was suffered many, many ways because the financial reputation was suffer as well as the, the economic reputation. ah, ukraine's call for international mercenaries to come and fight on curious side has sparked an uproar among african countries with nigeria warning its citizens to avoid participating in the conflict against russia. the reports of say, a number of nigerians have gone to the ukrainian embassy to express their willingness to fight. forgive. the foreign ministry in boucher says it won't allow ukraine to recruit durance to serve as mercenaries earlier and other african countries, senegal, condemned what it described as the ukrainian embassy there trying to enlist local fighters saying such actions were illegal from all this. we

if the u . k was under attack and for us, johnson was begging for help. highly experience soldiers are sent to the front line . less experienced recruits are kept back to help territory defense units and treat the wounded. j says he trusts ukraine will let him go home to see his family and is unafraid, as he commits himself to a war that could go on for years. zane basra, the old 0 at the ukraine border in eastern poland. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has received a standing ovation from the british parliament after he delivered a speech by video link. it all them his people will never give up. didn't i need to mod, separate vanish sham all the question for us now is to be or not to be this expedient question. the witness for 13 days the question was arsenal. but now i can even definitive answer is definite. yes. to be. i'd like to remind you of the words that the u. k has already heard.

should the u. k. get involved in setting up a no fly zone in over ukraine in the skies of ukraine, should they militarily try and take out that column of tanks. it's heading towards care? no, there's no way they can do that without the u. k. being a nato country, the rest of nato, under the nato, north atlantic treaty article 5, which says that one countries involved in the conflict and can call on all the others effectively that all of nato get involved in the conflict, including the u. s. if you've got the u. s. and all of nato involved in a conflict with russia, i think you then probably will call that world war 3. so that is why they can't take that step. but on the other part of a question about the oligarchy in london about all that wealth in london, all of those very rich properties in parts of london and knights, bridge and kensington, and parts of london. that i think is where the u. k. prime minister has more of a question to answer. what are you going to do, for example, that the name that

the u. k. bond oil and gas from rush in response to the countries operation in ukraine with imports at the start by the end of 2022. but london has been struggling to find substitute suppliers. maurice johnson recently held talks with gulf states, the u. v. on saudi arabia, who's human rights records, have repeatedly made headlines. well, amid severe a condemnation among the western community to russia's actions in ukraine, officials from the middle east point. so at the apartment, disproportionate level of attention to different crises around the world. the humanitarian suffering that we have seen in the ukraine, and everyone is talking about it right now. that has been the suffering go for lots of countries in this region. 4 years, we have never seen a global response to either us nor sufferings. i hope those are all so would it be a wake up call for everyone in the international community to look at our region and toward that us are these shows that's happening in our region with the same l

as you say though, the way the west is going about it, the u. k, but also europe and the u. s. has been pretty sloppy, especially in the u. k. the enormous delay and imposing sanctions when they're obviously coming leads to a lot of anecdotal accounts of money being spirited away before names to the french list. further that the u. k. record of enforcing functions adopted pitiful. it remains the case that the u. k. like the rest of the world continues to allow this insane idea of financial secrecy which become so widespread. we become accustomed to it, but you can, if you're rich enough, participate in a democratic free market economy in the skies behind a front company. so you put a few names on the list and you may be cause trouble for chelsea and grab a few yards. but we don't know what the russians lots of these really do with its wealth because we allow them to move it around in secret. the final to make an it picks up on something that was raised earlier is the, is the, is the prospect, but this could backfire by accelerating what i called in my book the, the rise of crep

we're gonna be sending out the, the energy strategy for, for the u. k. massive jump forward on own renewables, more nuclear using our own hydrocarbons that more effectively, we'll say, look what we can do to source hydrocarbons from places other than russia. we got to get off the russian hydrocarbons. let's bring you some of the days. other news and the lawyer for 2 british iranian detained in iran is saying that they're about to leave the country. nothing in the gallery, ratcliffe, and anesha assured, are reportedly a to ron's airport. the gallery radcliffe had been detained since 2716. the aid worker was arrested into ron and sentenced to 5 years jail for plotting to overthrow the government. she's always denied the allegations. sonya you goes joining us from london. we're getting a little bit more detail about the release. sonya what more we learning well, there are reports from iran in state media of, of the presence of nuts music radcliffe, the airport. but of course, as the prime minister boris johnson said, these negotiations are really up to the

now, r t u k isn't covered by those sanctions because of brakes. it because the u. k. isn't part of the european union, however, it has emerged that sky tv, which hosts the channel in the u. k, says it will be removing it from its platform within 24 hours. it says it's not going to wait for an off. com. this is the media regulator in the u. k. to conduct its investigation. now, the foreign secretary in the u. k. has actually warned about banning channels like r t saying that this could have a tit for tat reciprocation in moscow saying that russia could now look to ban outlets such as the bbc. and that would prevent russians being able to access a different narrative in their own country. however, despite that, our t u. k will be we and stan taken off the sky tv platform at later on wednesday. now there's also going to be a meeting in europe on wednesday of energy ministers from you. what they're going to be looking at is how they're going to sustain the blocks energy needs. you may be aware that russia provides a substantial amount of energy to the european union aroun

why is the u. k. feel hostile for the mid 3 to all of us join me if i take on the line with men or the misconceptions and debate the contradictory timing get up front on al jazeera. ah the hello. are you watching the or? i'm emily, i, he's a reminder about how stories this ukrainian authority say dozens of people have left and married. as a 1000000000, con boy of 160 vehicles left the sage eating, but 400000 people were main and attract without food, water, or electricity. several russian strikes have targeted ukraine's capital cave. at least 2 people were killed when a 9 story residential building was struck. us warning china against helping the russian more efficient ukraine. american and chinese officials met for taught in rome. us officials say china has signaled in might aid russia. beijing denies those claim. hollins, biggest cities is struggling to accommodate the she volume of refugees escaping the war in ukraine. the maze of war saw and cry calls say they see the services are overwhelmed and

now the u. k. foreign secretary has also warned about the repercussions of banding ought fi from broadcasting, not just in the u. k, but essentially across the european union. she says that they would be tit for tat reactions in russia, and that could seep would cost us, such as the b, b, c being banned from broadcasting in russia. and that would deny the russian citizens the option of alternative media with a different narrative of what's happening now in a separate development. today, european energy ministers are going to meet to basically look at the usual reliance on russian energy supply. so just to give you a sense, 40 percent of gas used here in the you 35 percent of crude oil, more than 40 percent of coal supplies all come from russia. and the e. u is desperate to win itself off those supplies. as a result of not just the sanctions, but the fear that they say that russia could potentially turn off the gas supplies between europe. we've also heard from germany that says it regrets it's hea
