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 talking on the question of the stand off in the ukraine is nothing more than an attempt at destruction by a prime minister who's under heavy political pressure at home. and those views being echoed somewhat by those within the house of commons itself. boris johnson says he's helping with the diplomatic situation in russia and ukraine. he has no credibility. no one trusts him. the best thing he could do to help would be to resign. he will travel to moscow or wherever he's going in eastern europe this week . but every one will k

we're going to say that russia's point of view with potentially sending these troops to, to these 2 republics. russia says these are peacekeepers, the u. k says they're invading forces, how people supposed to figure out really what's going on when you have these 2, i guess, parallel realities. while this is very difficult to figure out for the western public, i would say because media reporting of course is very important, very powerful in any kind of conflict. and if you see only the one side of the story, you cannot imagine also the suffering of the people living in those 2 people's republics. and yeah, therefore, it may be hard to understand that such peacekeeping troops can be really seen by the population itself as something really beneficial. and i would say that we need more transparency. what is going on on the ground in the people's republic . so this is something that russia definitely should provide to the international public that clearly can be seen. what are the development on the ground? what are the action? how peaceful in reality, how defensive this operation. raina rough 1st job had to go. analysts are joining us life o

u. k. limits russia spread of state propaganda at home . so it is interesting to see a cabinet member hi. hi. hi, politician. here in the u. k. weighing in despite the prime minister saying it's not the job of politicians to weigh in in such matters. and if they do so well, the u. k. would be as bad as russia, the 2 things really are quite striking in order 1st, i see the fact that cooling fox to be shut down in the 1st place, quite a sip. so specifically about free speech as a fundamental principle. the u. k. held itself on the fundamental principles of free speech, the right to tell all sides of the same story, any current thing, the british public to engage in critical thinking and not just accepting of the u. k. government line. secondly, though, for that matter, is this an issue of state sponsorship because if it is an issue of state sponsorship, then we have to look at the b, b. c dot to is sponsored by the state. by the way, just to mention last year when china band, the bbc world service that was early last year in 2021, the u. k. government slammed that move as an unacceptable tailing of media freedom . they with the headlines at the time. so it does seem somewh

u. k is offered tens of millions of dollars in aid to assist ukraine. johnson says russia is holding a gun to ukraine's head in an effort to change the architecture of european security. the u. s. and its allies are threatening tougher sanctions. the criminal insists there'll be no attack alongside are the countries we are so preparing a package of sanctions and other measures to be enacted. the moment the 1st russian po, cat crosses further into ukrainian territory. and we have done all this in preparedness, not as a show of hostility towards russia, but is a demonstration that we will always stand up for freedom and democracy and ukrainian sovereignty. in the faith of aggression russians, president vladimir putin says he hopes dialogue on ukraine will continue in order to avoid so called negative scenarios, including war in his 1st news conference since washington's written response on security demand. let me put in also sent the u. s. and its allies have ignored the kremlin, is main concerns me going for a new role with them. just put in the pre med amused that we are a

u. k, is pretty united on that opinion as well. they say that russia's actions pays the way for a full scale. so what exactly is that support and, or jobs? and just last night spoke to president lensky of ukraine, assuring him of this support today we had from the ukrainian back to, to the united kingdom. and he specifically said, what you need is economic support so that ukraine can then defend itself today. far as johnson in the house of commons reiterates this unwavering support, he reminded the house that person has done everything possible training 22000 troops, and sending 2000 weapons back in january. and is now saying that the united kingdom will do even more, and will even more troops to nato members safe on the eastern flank. we also know today the russian ambassador has been summoned to the foreign office, although the foreign office says that's not to expel him. at least not yet miss trust, the foreign secretary, she's also been speaking today and she's doing every single british national and ukraine to come home and mediately. so from london

u. k is offered tens of millions of dollars in aid to assist ukraine. johnson says russia is holding a gun to ukraine's head in an effort to change the architecture of european security.

u. k is putting sanctions on 5 russian banks and 3 individuals prime minister bars johnson says that could be more as well written if russia escalates the contract. and ukraine prism the u. k. is sanctioning the following. 5 russian banks. rossier. i s bank jim, but general buying a property as bank and the black sea bank and we are sanctioning 3 very high net worth in vigils. any assets they hold in the u. k. will be frozen. the individuals concerned will be banned from travelling here. and we whole further sanctions at readiness to be deployed alongside united states of european union if the situation escalates still further and briefly in other news, hong kong later says the territory can no longer cope with the increase in current virus infections and needs help from mainland china, kerry lambs extending restrictions until april 20th and is looking at building a temporary hospital spot. the government's 0 covert strategy. hospitals are struggling to cope, and some patients have been treated in makeshift areas outside, or i paid it off with you in 25 minutes or so for the next news hour here now to see or i'll see you a

u. k. limits russia spread of state propaganda at home . so it's interesting to see a cabinet minister really weighing in on all of this. we just had as a prime minister barak johnson saying it's not the job of politicians whatsoever otherwise. and i quote, or as johnson, the prime minister, the u. k, would be as bad as russia. so 2 things are quite striking in all of this. calling on r t to shut down shop is quite a slippery slope of to for freedom of speech for and freedom of speech being something that the united kingdom hales itself on. as a fundamental principle, it also says that everybody has the right to hear various sides of different of the same story, even if you don't like exactly what you hear encouraging the british public to engage in critical thinking and not just accept the u. k. government line and on that for that matter, that's the issue. is it about state sponsorship? because if it is, then you only have to look at the bbc which is also sponsored by the state to, by the way, to mention this last year in early 2021. when trying to bond the bbc world service, the u. k. government at the time slammed that move as unacceptable curtailing of media freedom.

say we're like, we're headquartered here in doha, also coming up. it is vital that russia steps back, the latest warning for russia not to attack ukraine, the u. k. prime minister says it would be a military disaster, a decades on conflict in me, a bar is gaining support is opposition to the military coup grows and ah, rallies against vaccine mandates take place around the world. but there are concerns about the groups involved. ah, welcome to the program. we begin in guinea. bizarre where the president to survived a coup attempt or borrow so cool on. barlow says the situation is now under control and that some of those evolved have been arrested. this. today we are facing an assault. i was in the middle of the council of ministers with all the members, including the prime minister. and we were attacked with very heavy weaponry for 5 hours. but now everything is under control. and one thing i can assure you there is no side that is linked to the scope of teams. it is an isolated force, but it is also linked to the people we force. when i was elected president of the republic, i promised to fight 2 things. corruption and drug trafficking, and thi

says the u. k. will not look away after russia's act of war in europe. for his bones and tanks and missiles. i don't believe that the russian dictator will ever subdue the national feeling of ukrainians, and their passionate belief of their country should be free. i say, to the british people and all who have heard the threats from bruton against those who stand with ukraine. we will of course, do everything to keep our country safe. we are joined in our outrage by friends and allies around the world. we will work with them for however long it takes to ensure that the sovereignty and independence of ukraine is restored. because this act of wanton and reckless aggression is an attack, not just on ukraine. it's an attack on democracy and freedom in eastern europe and around the world nave. barker in london beyond a statement slide that which was pretty strong and not diplomatic at all. ah, what is the u. k expected or what action is the u. k. expected to take? did you get the sense there is no space left for the delicate language of diplomacy? bars, johnson going on to say that this hideous an

secretary, who's been saying that, sir, in order to add discourage russia from what they say our intentions to invade ukraine, something that's been strenuously denied by moscow. they, the u. k. government are willing to impose sanctions on russian companies. and on russian business men, so all eyes will be on bars. johnson's a trip to the ukraine fan of course, that key phone call with vladimir putin to see whether actually the prime minister's more concerned dialogue or with ratcheting up tensions. right. former london, mayor ken livingstone told us earlier that this has nothing to do with russia's supposed invasion of ukraine and everything with the scandals piling up around. johnson used to being lied to politics all my life. and i don't believe a word that the british government, or the american government is saying about the intentions of putin. if you low, the lead of ukraine is telling the west to sort of wind all this down. i don't feel under threats at all. if we get into sanctions with russia, we will be in a position where it damages many of our businesses, many, perhaps tens of thousands of people lose their job here in this country. and the simple fact is, this
