u. k. will think about what more it can do next. the u. k. will continue to do everything to step by the peoples of ukraine. so really, these is a reaction that would be pretty much expected from boris johnson considering all the rhetoric as i say, throughout the day. many of the british scape, the british media here in the u. k with whom is gearing up to this moment throughout the day saying that this was time ticking. moment the cock with only taking on by and this was really the 11th hour here in britain. this isn't really unexpected to hit these watson bars. johnson. no, i shot it. it was dusty there in london impala slayer in berlin. both of you. thank you. that's course life now to patrick hennings and geopolitical and listen, john list joining. i say with the rolling, rolling us breaking news coverage or to aussie international courtesy you to say today, patrick will tell us about the significance here of russia is recognition of don. don voss, independence. clearly, a lot of people saying right now that putin, you can't legally do this

busy u k will send 350 troops to poland martinez. dan hawkins examines what behind west current obsession with russia invading ukraine. even for those who don't watch the news, reports of a coming russian invasion of ukraine would be hard to miss. we believe that there is a very interesting possibility that vladimir putin will order an attack on ukraine . it could take a number of different forms. it could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it could take some weeks yet. we do have information that it is that the russians are likely to want to fabricate a pretext for an invasion, which again is right out of their playbook. it's been like groundhog day, 3 months of reports, analysis and countdowns of just when moscow will be ready to launch its attack. with me, a daily news stories, it's almost like news headline, bingo reports of ballooned and intensity. and in depth, initial claims focused on the number of troops most good move to the border. as the weeks went by outlets cited analysts and sauces, mainly anonymous, of course, in more det

u. k. will continuing adding names to that list. so this comes against the back up of a number of marches happening here in various cities across the u. k. in london, in oxford, and in edinburgh, will keep you abreast of developments. here more thoughts now love to joe last lecture. political science and history assess the catholic institutes of the von day in the western front. either of the guests on this program. nice to see you tonight on this some very difficult evening. seeing us you have on delay in the european commission president. and i'm saying that so the, you, i'm just reading, the quote will ban russian media outlets. that's all the and sputnik accusing us to spreading harmful dis information. we try best to put a balance across. we're licensed by off. com in the u. k. and europe, they've deemed us to be okay to license where of course, going to put the russian point of view. what's wrong with that? well, what's wrong with it is that it's totalitarian. you don't suppress media outlets. that's a basic principle. if the e

u. k. will mirror that response. so we're talking about stopping financial institutions from operating properly here in the british capital from clearing sterling through london. but there has been a clamor of voices in recent days, urging the british government to do more. we owe only on monday that 5 small banks and 3 individuals were slapped with sanctions. the british government always promised that would be ratcheted up. should that be a full scale invasion? we do get the distinct sense of the british government is now playing at immense game of cat shop. and we know from former russian president to meet you ment, vetter who is now a senior figure on russia. security council that the russians are not afraid by western sanction. so they've read read, i've talked about the west coming back, begging for, for business ties with russia after it invaded crimea back in 2014. and we've got to also remember that russia has a master, huge amount of money. we're talking about a $600000000000.00 war chest to whether any kin

but the question is then will they have will to overcome the u. s. u k of juris? we just mentioned france and germany there, there the outliers within the european block if you will. president micron kind of going in alone here. can you see president micron actually eventually securing a solution to this crisis? well, i think you'd like to do that. i mean, i think he said, i mean, that was, he said it in 20. 17 nate, though it's brenda. he realizes that nato now is actually a public manners, is a minister peace. it's aggravating situ crises with russia. it's expanding to the point that russia feels a threat. there's no need for this. there's really no need for any kind of tension between russia and europe. macaroni sees this, the real question is, does he have the board of german in germany always wants to have it both ways? germany, obviously it has enormous expensive commercial relations with russia. and obviously doesn't want to be in the front blind of any war between europe and russia. on the other hand, germany still does its routine. what by which shows that

u. k. and by australia i just a quick reminder, it's called orchestra. and basically, it's a somewhat of a military packed in which the us and the u. k. will are set to help or stray, build a nuclear fleet and expand its military capabilities. rushing, china have agreed that this is worrisome and that they, well they condemn any such initiatives. also al, it wasn't just politics. that was, that was on the table. also business deals and probably the key out here is. busy that basically are basically asha rushes key gas exports and gas from over the course of the next 10 years. it will ship a $100000000.00 metric tons of gas to china through tasks done. this is a major deals and we already seeing, you know, we're already seeing russian energy companies. stocks rising, rising in value or, you know, are following this development. now butler, my problem is still here. i mean they match, i should say, it didn't take long for the 2 leaders to to confirm that they agree on so many points that i'm approved in. and she didn't think they deposit for lunch and they left their entourage behind. so they continued their talks face to face, but just with

u. k. will already seeing some of the effects of the tensions in the financial markets, the foot c, $100.00 down and fuel prices are going up. but in the side of how the ukraine is now becoming a top priority for this government to foreign secretary liz trust earlier held an emergency coping meeting to discuss the confidence response to the crisis off the edge all but it isn't to evacuate ukraine. the prime minister has cut short a very important and long way to, to northern england, to come back to london to get a full intelligence inks and his security chiefs. and to hold that phone call with biden. so he'll be fully prepared on tuesday to hold another emergency kobinie thing to discuss the you case stance on the crisis. but the message here remains one of diplomacy and de escalation, but with much more renewed sense of urgency. okay, charlie angela in london will wait to hear what comes off that phone call a little bit later. finally, to new york james base. i did the medicated. i james, what

u. k. will continue to do everything we can to stand by the people of, of ukraine. ah, with a very robust package of sanctions, as you know what i can tell you. oh, and reiterate our position which let the united nations fully support the independent sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders as stated very clearly in a relevant general assembly resolutions. and again, we would encourage everyone involved a, to refrain from many unilateral decision or unilateral action, so that could undermine the territorial integrity of ukraine. and the implementation of the minsk agreements i think is endorsed by security council. and with regards to the status of don, it's andrew hans ah, let's bring our guests into the show. now we have joining us from moscow in russia, pavel folk, and how he's a defense and military analyst to know via get better in brussels. theresa fallon is director at the center for russia, europe, asia studies, and in kev peters and my f. he's executive director at the eurasia democracy initiative. welco

u. k. defense secretary thing but u. k will not hesitate to send combat troops to ukraine not makes quite a change, doesn't it from simply training or, or military equipment. yeah. do you think that designed to send some sort of message so moscow? well, i do, but i get some help to be honest with you. i mean, yeah, russia don't shoot, alters on, on, on the boat that, and, you know, the frankly, i small number pretty tripped neither here nor there. i don't. so don't worry. i mean a sentence because you've got a nature band difference between 72. so nature country where you, where you have been military lions. another come to be part of nature. so i think we're, we're finding that people are actually accelerating this matter way when both sides to calm down a little bit. and that does seem to be a bit of a recurring theme, doesn't it? of russia of moscow saying the west isn't listening to its concerns to it, sort of a story and we had similar sentiments and beat off the, the meeting today with the case for on foreign minister for

u. k. will retaliate my can show you, repeat to me in person that russia has no intention of invading your crave. and while we will take them at their word, we must judge them by the actions. we continue to have the speaker permanent tooth and will relent and pull back from an invasion. but we must refer to the consequences if he does not. while the rhetoric today continues in london, in fact less trust. she's been saying that an invasion is highly likely. of course, that's a phrase we've had many, a time when it comes to russia. number 10 bo, i says, the person is plans of invasion have actually already begun. and according to pretty much every single british media. so of intelligent says that putin's intention to invade could come at any minute. so today, in the comment, arguably, many n p to saying that this situation is already at a point of huge escalations and then hawks back to birth. johnson's threats of sanctions. now you remember gordon johnson threatened sanctions including new powers

u. k. will pledge an additional, a $118000000.00 to ukraine to help fight corruption and to help also keep the economy afloat. a president zelinski being very worried about the impact of this crisis on the country on the economy of the country. i. hence, he has been calling for a few days to sort of tone down to rhetoric and try to avoid creating a wave of panic because the country is hurting and cannot read the afforded much longer. whether the is a war or not. you hear people tell you, our army is very small compared to the russian army. ukraine will never be able to equal the size of the russian army, but it's true to me propping it with a 100000 people of soldiers more over the next 3 years. is going to be a welcome move, especially that at the moment the ukranian army is very popular among people. here . anyone you speak to will tell you how much they trust the army now compared to back in 2014, where the army was criticized for not really putting up a fight, especially during the annexatio

u. k. will be frozen. the individuals concerned will be banned from travelling here and we hold further sanctions at readiness to be deployed alongside united states of european union. if the situation escalates still further. at the beginning of his address, he said the following. we will hold further sanctions at readiness to be deployed alongside the united states and the european union if the situation escalate still further. but then he was pressed and asked if the russian troops were just limited to entering those self declared republics would further steps still be brought in. he hinted that they would, he said it's inevitable that will be coming forward. if a, with a much bigger package of sanctions, given the activities of russian forces on the ukrainian border and inside ukrainian territory. this big story, changing by the hour in the last hour, the russian president, vladimir putin has got approval from the russian parliament. the duma deploy troops overseas more on that one. financial is manage

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 and

u. k. will introduce sanctions against prudent and foreign minister, sir gale of rob imminently on top of the sanctions package already announced. now dawning speed has also said that nothing is off the table when it comes to them supporting the crane. and we see this as a flurry of activity happens in europe in capitals, where they too are imposing tough measures and tough sanctions on russia. poland and the czech republic have now closed their space to russian plains. at the same time, the sanctions that are being imposed will increase rushes, borrowing costs will raise inflation and will gradually erode rushes industrial base. so that is the aim of particularly the european sanctions by curbing these deposits. what they you can eat at the hoping is that welcome russian men cannot do to quote high the money in more in the safe haven in us. joseph borrow of the e. you had this to say, but i didn't put didn't know for a minister other off, out in the list of sanctioned people together with remai
