u. k. are currently treating barbs ober, who should look after those currency stuck at the french court of calais. let's take a look then of a ukrainian military base in the her southern region, which russian forces have taken control of abundant car at tanks. cars armored personnel carriers equipment as well. that's all which service men left behind while retreating can be witnessed, clearly and starkly. our senior corresponded murat gas, d of is there for us when out a ukrainian military base in the province of kept san this, the space was abandoned very quickly by ukrainian troops. there wasn't much of a fight here. they left their equipment. these are, for example, t, 64 tags, all of them in working order. they're now being evacuated, die from here by the russian military, which is taken over where they're being taken we, we haven't been told but again, these are our tags, all and, and markie hood over there now as an arsenal. so small arms, rocket propelled grenades, vase quantities of amm

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 scheme called homes, the ukraine, which will allow ukrainians fleeing ukraine to come and settle in a u.

u. k. are currently trading bob's over who should look after those currently stock at the french ports of cali wirelessly, a looks at the west reaction to the refugees. hundreds of thousands of ukrainian refugees are crossing into europe in the you and cause the largest migration crisis in essentially. and its politicians have been quick to explain why that you should take them in. at the end of the new list, these women, children, and elderly must be welcomed in europe. anyone can now perfectly understand the difference between the flow of refugees that is happening now in the invasion of young men of military age and a muslim origin that have been launched against different borders of europe in attempts to destabilize and colonize it. if he's still in doubt, the corporate media dots, the i's and cross the t's is really emotional for me because i see europe and people with blue eyes and blown here being here. this isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan. this is

u. k. are talking up the impact of sanctions they've imposed on russia. a show of support for ukrainian resistance from the us state department. it's impossible to see the images of people seeking refuge and keys metro in 2022, and not think of those who shelter in the london underground. $942.00 and you vary a vote of confidence in the west response to russia's invasion tech. we have surprised peter and with our unity and the toughness of our sanctions, those sanction including us and u. k. oil import, bam. cutting russian banks off from international transactions. and the freezing of assets belonging to officials, including president louder, mere potent have rocked the russian economy. the kremlin is crying foul and conditionally the united states to cause a canonical organs. russia that's waging this or the western officials are unapologetic. they call their economic strategy an extremely effective way of holding moscow accountable for attacking ukrainian civilian. he can nominally the measures that we've taken, have a race 30 years of progress integra

because we see that ukrainian armed forces are able to stop russia military, all columns with the help of those general in entered tank missiles for loss from u k. so they are very, very important in germany delivering them. or of course it comes to late, but well, i wouldn't say it's a game changer, but it is a significant force that russia didn't reckon with. i think when they were planning this operation. so it was good to the west. first of all, united states and united kingdom delivered those, those weapons in the weeks prior to the assault. let me make, make a point about what you've just been discussing about 2 things, plans which go beyond ukraine. i totally agree with that. and there is one thing that i'm, i'm thinking these days and everything we see, we see in ukraine happening now, this war all out war that most of us were not thinking about and go thinking, well that's, that's that good. that is not possible. this is something that they have been discussing on russian stage t v for years in very, very exactly the same details that we are facing in reality. now. those discussions on talk shows in on russian to be what ignored in the

u. k. that are now changing their visa requirements tremendously, an opening up the borders and waste and never ever would have done for afghans for syrians, for rockies and so on. right. so that's what's possible is that it's not possible if you're not a ukrainian or you're not perceived within this quote unquote wide category. so that's $12.00. i think it sends a master's message and did send a massive message to the likes of bruton that the west simply isn't going to hold them accountable, nor is the international community more generally. so these 2 things i think, really go hand in hand were not simply engaging in the systematic the humanize ation of these populations. we're also encouraging very aggressive powers to engage in really negative ways that impact on our security more generally, and also promotes a far, far more disorderly world today. we're going to leave it there. ha healthier, thanks for speaking with us here at the listening post today. thank you. my pleasure. and finally, a story as big as the war in ukraine. the incessant updates the news from across all those platforms c

u k. and in ukraine itself, some of which are linked to the u. k. government in particular, we also have lobbyist here in washington, d. c, who are writing speeches for vladimir the lensky. we are getting a completely, i would say manufactured narrative, the curated narrative, to manage our perceptions of what this war is. and much of it is actually being done here in washington. we have russian state media being censored as well as anti war media in general, being censored. now we have ukranian propaganda and state department propaganda receiving the opposite treatment being promoted, even though it's very clear as i demonstrate in the investigation that is just simply propaganda. it is not news in any kind of in anybody's imagination. the south africa has proposed a draft resolution of the united nations general assembly in response to another resolution from ukraine and its allies demanding aid access and civilian protection in ukraine. but whereas the south african draw focused on the humanitarian situation in ukraine without the portion of bl

lines and im, ah, joining us to discuss the impact of the pandemic on frontline workers are 2 doctors from the u. k. national health service, also known as n h s. dr. mino this and dr. dan goya. thank you both for joining me on up front. deductive is, i'm going to start with you are in the u. k. there has been a mass exodus of health care workers in the, in a chess over 27000 staff left from july to september in 2021. that's the most in any quarter on record. the deputy council chair of the british medical association says doctors are leaving quote, due to punishing workloads, stress exhaustion, and sadly verbal and physical abuse. can you describe the told that this is taking on health care workers? so i think that when we look at the n h us, we have to ask herself the question that why is it that so many people have made the decision to leave the system until the work that they love so much you have to remember all of these health care workers sacrifice a lot of their own, a lot of their own life to be on the line to protect the british publics. why is it now that they've decided to leave the job

u. k and e, you are purchasing russian goods. we have to stop when you say russian goods, i presume you're speaking primarily about up about gas and oil, but up anyway, sanctions cut both ways of course, how or all these sanctions, why cli, to effect other countries with business interest in russia? well, i hope it puts everyone on notice. they need to immediately divest of all of their investments in russia. united states, e. s. g principles are very popular here. how do we measure our environmental? our social in our government is principles as we manage our businesses. managing wore away from profit and towards a broader set of objectives. if we're going to walk the walk we have today best and we have to boycott, we cannot finance the war. natalie. thank you very much for talking with us. that was ukraine's former finance minister and natalie and jessica well, the 1st emergency united nations general assembly session and decades opened with a minute silence for those killed and ukraine. more than a 100 nations have signed up t

u. k. but just to remind people that r t at the moment still maintains an online presence of votes. believe that london, the u. k operations are slowly being wound down, all right, and the deem bob of that from the u. k. capsule. so i had on the al jazeera sentence for anti government protest last july, demonstrators in cuba face decades behind vase plus in how young iraq is ascending ukrainians and musical message of hope. added school, the spanish teenager who set up a semi final encounter with hello there. let's have a look at the weather across europe as we and we can. there's more unsettled weather to come to the southern areas. we're seeing things look fine and dry up in the north. however, as high pressure takes charge, but we still got that wet and windy weather, dominating across the mediterranean with some heavy rain pulling into eastern areas of spain. we're also going to see the wet, windy and wintry weather pick up in the southeast places like turkey, we've had flights cancelled in is stumble as the snow. she means down the black sea . and if we look at the 3 day, for example, the temperature sitting well below th

u. k. for example, is moving to phase out oil or from russia. the there are other and controversial m steps which the, the u. k. has been accused of not doing enough on, in terms of targeting all the gods, for example in london. but in general, his address went down very well. and boris johnson and the leaders of all the opposition parties expressed their solidarity bars. johnson, as you heard, saying that they would use all means or methods diplomatic and others to help ukraine, but not really going into any specifics that him thank you very much. and in barbara talking to us from london, you as president jo biden's band, russian oil imports has global sanctions toughen against moscow over its invasion of ukraine. b, u. s. is looking to replace russian oil with imports from other energy which nations and investments in clean energy. but there is concern in the u. s. at the ban on russian crude will push gas prices higher in the run up to mid term elections. we're banning all in ports of russian oil and gas and new g m e is russian oil no longer be acceptable

because we see that ukrainian armed forces are able to stop russia military, all columns with the help of those general in entered tank missiles for loss from u k. so they are very, very important in germany delivering them. of course it comes to late, but well, i wouldn't say it's a game changer, but it is a significant force that russia didn't reckon with. i think when they were planning this operation. so it was good to the west. first of all, united states and united kingdom delivered those, those weapons in the weeks prior to the assault. let me make, make a point about what you've just been discussing about 2 things, plans which go beyond ukraine. i totally agree with that. and there is one thing that i'm, i'm thinking these days and everything we see, we see in ukraine happening now, this war all out war that most of us were not thinking about and go thinking, well that's, that's the good that is not possible. this is something that they have been discussing on russian stage t v for years in very, very exactly the same details that we are facing in reality. now. those discussions on talk shows in on russian to be what ignored in the west

u. k, which is not in the u. listed oligarchy are leg derek pasco, on it's lists, are the eas, decided not to follow c to why you may be asking whether it's been suggested that the found of the major metal produce e and plus group has got huge assets in countries like austria and also in cyprus and there are concerns freezing his assets could actually have repercussions there. so not so keen to do that. sanctions have to be approved by all members of the block. if one says no, the sanctions don't go ahead. what we're really seeing now is off to that original strength. there is no limit to how much pain individual countries want to endure as a result of the war in ukraine. and a china eastern airlines. boeing plane has crashed with 100132 people on board, including 9 crew members, making civil aviation administration says it has sent an investigative group to the scene. the number of casualties is not yet known. when you update on this developing story as and when we get them well, thanks for joining us. aeronautics international plenty more updates on all of our stories on our website, r t

those comments are unacceptable and unforgivable that followed ukraine's president, addressing the u. s. congress on wednesday. and other news to british radians are back in the u. k. after spent a years in detention in iran needs a guy, radcliffe, and a new ship sheree were convicted applauding to overthrow iran government, but always denied the allegations. south korea has reported more than 600000 new current of iris cases in one single day breaking its previous record health officials believe south korea is nearing the peak of an army. kron driven wave. japan has lifted it through an army warning after a day, a day after a powerful earthquake struck the northern region of fukushima. the 7.4, magnitude cray killed, 4 people injured more than 100. and it left more than $2000000.00 homes without electricity, including, and the capital to kill. those are the headlines on al jazeera people in power is coming up next. thanks for watching, bye bye for now. so how do you define a successful 1st here in charge of accounting, we bring you the stories, developments that are rapidly changing the world to innovate. what do you think driving to volatility? counting the cost

to british, iranians who've been detained in iran for years have been freed and are expected to return to the u. k. ah, hello, there are signs that while the war goes on, the ongoing talks between ukraine and russia are making progress. russian foreign minister surg oliver av says there is hope for a compromise. ukraine's president says moscow's demands are becoming more realistic and voted mere zalinski, concedes its possible ukraine may not join nato, but i was negotiators prepared to meet again. keep residents have been experiencing the familiar sound of fresh and shelling. bay city is almost halfway through a 35 hour curfew. after strikes killed at least 5 people on tuesday, till little squad and all of us. it is difficult but important because any war ends in an agreement, meetings continue as i am told, the position in the negotiation, sam, more realistic. however, it still needs to be more time for decisions to be in ukraine's interest, guys than you are a he live with us citizens of russia. any of you who have access to truthful information should understand this war will enter your countr

u. k. government, the hands are out there still. a very well known british tabloids speculated on who could take vlad seat. that's what they are calling him. now, should he be taken down in a coup with the stakes mounting in the west applying pressure on the russian economy? the chances of putin being removed from power in a qu has become more likely. the question is, are the voices of the western media and the people in charge they're being heard in russia? on the one hand, probably yes, because people do come out and do protest the in the in but on the other hand, for a number of reasons, the demos aren't as huge as some would want them to be. plus the chance at these protests are most the anti war rather than anti pollutant. by the way, just for the record russian opinion, paul show that since the russian military campaign began, the president's approval rating has only gone up. while it looks like the whole world has turned his back against russia in the serbian capital of belgrade, some people have poured onto the streets to vo

u. k and u. s, which you said they are going to outright band them. why? well, as you mentioned that quite simply the e. u. generally as well as some countries in particular, already heavily reliant on russian energy sources to keep the lights on it. really, that simple germans foreign minister is very clear that an immediate ban on you, gas and oil imports from russia could actually be massively problematic. a 3rd of our fuel comes from russia. if we stop at now, in a few days, we won't be able to transport ourselves. meanwhile, would also be hearing from the ceo. this is the box at energy company energy here in france who has said that the europe wide cap on gas prices is actually now needed to respond to the soaring prices that people are seeing across the continent if not world wide. and that's to contain what she said would be the volatility in both the gas and the electricity market. so really hitting not just household businesses to and us that price has been rising. as we've seen. it's already starting to hit the pockets of europeans in individuals

u. s . congress. also ahead, free at last as a needs that are re radcliffe on her way home to the u. k. after she was detained in iran since 2016 human costs are mounting in ukraine as rushes. the invasion enters its 4th week. a russian strike on my you poll has destroyed a theater, where hundreds of civilians were sheltering. the number of casualties is not yet known. while the war rages on, there are signs of progress on the diplomatic front report, se ukrainian or russian negotiators have come up with a 15 point draft piece plan. it involves ukraine renouncing nato membership. in return, it would get a cease fire on the withdrawal of russian truce. ukraine's president was demi zaleski addressed the u. s. congress, and repeated his call for a no fly zone. you also compare the invasion to previous attacks, suffered by americans, 911 and po. harbor, friends, americans in your great history, you have pages that allow you to understand ukrainians. now we need you right now. remember, pearl harbor that terrible morning of december 7th. 1941. when your skies turned black from plains attackin

u. k. after your husband's poisoning and another attack with a chemical weapon in solsbury with the sanctions effective then, and are these new u. k. and you sanctions on russian oligarchs, effective. now we can see that it was not a success, a fall, not after 2006 when my husband, alexander lithonian goes poison. not after 2018 because what we are watching now in the life is killing people destroying sieges. it's absolutely devastating. and i just need to all the can't wait because watching the video game in the same position, we allow this monster. i can call him in a different way. just just do it all in sanctions. what happened now of course is much stronger, but it should happen before not now. now we need to do more, more to stop this war. brushing opposition leader alexa in the valley is in prison, but still communicating from me so to his followers, to think opposition, remain strong, involved in your view, and could it potentially overthrow put opposition? it's very important, but they need to talk to all people on the russian people inside to russia, outside of russia, and supporting by or international co

u. k has already heard, which are important. so here again, we will not give up. we will not lose. we will fight to the end at sea and in the air. we will continue to fight for our land, whatever the castles will fight in the forests in the field, on the shores in the streets. okay, that means lensky speaking there will you, as president joe biden has announced a ban on russian oil and gas imports. the movie follows please by the ukranian president, to cut off moscow's energy exports bite and says the decision was made after consulting european allies were moving forward. this ban, understanding that many of our european allies and partners may not be in a position to join us. united states producers far more oral domestically than all of europe come, all the european countries combined. in fact, we're a net exporter of energy. so we can take this step when others cannot, but we're working closely with europe and our partners to develop a long term strategy to reduce their dependence on russian energy as well. oh, white house corresponding kimberly. how can joins a slide that, kimb

u. k. and south korea both announcing they are tightening measures against russia. london saying it will freeze all russian bank assets located in the country . and joining e u and u. s. sanctions against lending giant spare bach and south korea announced monday it would sanction 7 russian banks including spare bog it encourage public and private lenders to suspend their trading of russian state bonds on monday. so announce export restrictions on items that could include computer equipment and semi conductors. and the sanctions against russia have escalated at an almost dizzying pace in recent days. moving from rogers, a targeting individuals and banks to the swift financial messaging system and then rushes central bank reserves. the goal is targeting russia through its economy. a listen to what french finance measure minister, bruno lemaire said tuesday. we'll do some hoops if he guess, yes, the sanctions are effectively give you. the economic and financial sanctions are even frighteningly affective lenny and i do not want there to be any ambiguity on european determination on the subject was

are not known to authorities. so some countries have put in extra, like in the u. k. they've put an extra checks at the depart points of exit with people headed to ukraine to try to detect why are they going and figure this out. but in most places, those kinds of precautionary measures haven't happened yet. so we don't really know how big the problem is or how big it could be. it's certainly not rising. the level of the propaganda that suggested by any means there's no nationwide do not cation needed, but, but it is a troubling situation when you have the opportunity to combat, train like that for people who want to do damage done in their home, come home. countries when they return, the u. s. has condemned the united arab emirates hosting of serious president bush auto asset. it was his 1st trip to another arab country since the syrian will began in 2011. the u. s. is urging all nations in the region to resist normalizing relations with syria. then a harder reports. it was a syrian precedence 1st visit to an arab country since an uprising against his rule began in 201
