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 around 40 percent of gas, 35 percent of crude oil. and more than 40 percent of coal, all imports from russia come into the usa is significant. and this change of policy is because the use as it wants to win itself for russian energy, also heard from germany saying that they had used or sustained a russian or you sustained russian ener

u. k. is now going to be supplying to ukraine. that's what the defense secretary announced earlier today. and of course, the attack on the hospital is absolutely aboard and reckless and pulling, and the u. k is at the forefront of supplying humanitarian aid into ukraine. we've already pledged 220000000. if humanitarian aid are all dec appeal has now reached a $130000000.00, which is the largest amount it's ever achieved since $24.00. so the british people are full square behind the people of ukraine. we're doing all we can to support and i was just, as you said, 1st, we both governments, both are people both have tremendous admiration for presidents lensky, for his entire team, for the training people that they represent. but the courage, they've shown the strengths, the determination, the dignity faced with this russian onslaught is extraordinary. and it's powerfully moving, i think, to people around the world. if i were in presence once he's position, i'm sure i would be asking for everything possible in his mind to help the ukra

u. k owed to iran, it goes back to the 19 seventy's when the then shaw on their on who was empower, then ordered some 1500 chieftain tanks from the u. k. and the military equipment now $185.00 and those tanks were delivered. but then of course, the revolution happened that there was a change of government. and then the u. k said that it could not possibly deliver the rest of that. so this has been hanging over between the 2 countries as well. then there was a court case back in the 2009 at the court of law, patrician in, in the netherlands, that rules that iran should have the funds directly back to them. 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

u. k. parliament. now it could be argued based on his homework because the u. k pm, baris johnson does like to see himself as a modern day church show. the addresses are becoming very specialized. yeah. yeah, absolutely. and it's weird though, because the west already supports ukraine, so i don't know why he feels the needs zelinski in his government. i don't know why they feel the need to go to these lengths to try to appease each each country. i. busy you know, hearing someone quote, martin luther king task for world war 3 is under the guise of a no fly zone. it just comes across. it's really weird and i know for a strong wants to see himself of some sort of, you know, modern day churchill. but i'm sorry, it's just not real easy. it's more of a joke than anything else. he has compared bars. johnson ukraine's battle with russia with the struggle. britain, faith securing briggs. it. are these comparisons just getting more and more absurd? not yeah, of course, of course. and i think, i think what so ridiculous is that, you know, when, when, when people make these

u. k. is now going to be supplying to ukraine. that's what the defense secretary announced earlier today. and of course, the attack on the hospital is absolutely important, reckless and appalling. and the u. k is at the forefront of supplying humanitarian aid into ukraine. streams and buses and cars have been taking families out of mario poll cave and several other ukrainian cities. despite the decoration of humanitarian corridors, several explosions have been heard around the capital journal reports from levine in western ukraine a day of relative calm along temporary avenues of escape. war came suddenly to the people of ukraine. getting away from it is much harder. from cities like sumi in the north where residential buildings were struck over night, and from godaddy in the east. for many civilians still trapped in the ruins of their cities. there is no rest spite nor for medical teams in hospitals where the injured arrived daily was up. how are you little volva? the doctor asks. i am fine, replies the boy, following surgery to r

now it's been off the air here in the u. k, because if you sanctions imposed over the invasion of ukraine, but it's still maintains a presence online and that's ongoing despite this rolling by off. come that a i know i know tv, which is the licensee behind r t is not fit and proper now the, the watchdog. so i teach new laws in russia, which in its view, effectively criminalize any independent journalism that departs from the russian states. news, narrative, and off come says that means it appears impossible for our to, to comply with the impartiality rules. 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

u. k. have given loans to russian firms who can now no longer service them. it's unclear exactly how much banks have loaned to russian companies, but the experts of putting this number somewhere in the 10s of billions of yours. then there's of course, the potential for sovereign debt. default rushes central bank account access. it's assets abroad on his own course to miss re payments to its creditors. now, russia currently owes nearly $50000000000.00 to lenders in the west. payments are due within the next 2 weeks, one for $100000000.00 in interest. another of over $2000000000.00 among the countries levying sanctions on russia is switzerland. it's an unprecedented step for the financial hub that prides itself on staying neutral. but it's still being urged to take further action to reach is one of the world's most expensive places, and that's a no small part you to russian oligarchs. happy to invest their money. here. rudolph elma, used to be a top banker at the venerable missouri spank yoyo spare. today he is a critic of these financial institutions who came

know that switzerland has decided that it will support the sanctions that have now just to give you a sense that the u. k. how, who is all sneeze and individuals now just to give you a sense, the u. k. o, who is also, which has also been sanctioning russia and originally close, it's a space to russia prior to the e. you doing this? we know that the british prime minister was in war. so today in the capital of poland. and he was questioned about the situation, a rather emotional question coming from a ukranian journalist and korean people are desperately asking for the west to protect our sky. so you are coming to portland, you're not coming to kia, prime minister. you're not going to leave. because you are afraid i see that my family members, that my timbers. i think that to be a great you know the power to rob. this is what is happening. prime minister. well, thank you. thank you very much for the questions and, and when you talk about the, the move flayson. unfortunately, the implication of, of that is that the, the u. k. and i will be engaged in, in shutting down russian planes. i will be engage in di

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

now more isolated than ever. following public criticism, the u. k says it has now relax to immigration rules for ukrainians, fleeing rushes invasion. at least 100000 people with close family ties will not be allowed to enter the country and have the right to stay for 12 months, but will still have to pass strict security checks. the united nation says more than 830000 people had fled ukraine since the invasion began with a majority crossing into poland. but some ukrainians are travelling in the other direction. men who were out of harms wire, returning to defend their homeland. t w's mac sander report. shamika the train station is no place to stay. those who can keep on going in land and away from the border. not these men, they are heading in the other direction. all it is, oh, i'm not risking anything a month on road. you need all jack your mom. how could i live with myself and stay here in a sketch to play? sir gay has a wife and 2 daughters in ukraine, leaving his job in poland and returning home to ukraine to fight was not a hard choice for him

moscow says the guns republic has now gained over 90 percent of its territory after pushing back ukrainian forces and the west crackdown on russian media continues with the u. k. is media regulator now pulling ortiz broadcasting license with immediate effect. more of that, a little bit later in the program, ukraine's interior minister insists any deal with moscow would be possible only after the russian trips withdraw. that comes after another round of peace talks as the head of the russian, that delegation says that there has been some progress towards meeting moscow's demands for you to recognize the independence of the lugens and done. yet republics who will control dunbar is one of the key points or the negotiations. their point is that keeps until that our point that the source of the power of people so that people done bus should control their land. but there are some issues that should be discussed edition in which i want to say that any negotiations must start from ukraine's rightful position. so in particular that the russian troops must return to exactly where they came from when they started their attack on february 24th. what's china slammed the u
