these imposing goods which are coming in to another part of the united kingdom. where something can find that more onerous than the public. because at the end of last october, the regular pole from queens university, belfast showed a slim majority of voters, 52 percent agreeing or strongly agreeing that the protocol is on balance. a good thing for more than up from 43 percent into pose earlier in the year. so you're swimming against the tide here and you know, and they were not really against the item. you know, i think that sometimes people's attitudes towards the protocol, how being affected by the abuse of many people, how that we should remain within the, the european union. the wilson talks are going on between the government and the you to try and out problems with implementing the protocol. you don't have much faith in these talks to you because of course, a has years some the years northern ireland, right? this will withdraw processed. they hope talked about the importance of protecting the single market, even though only 4 percent of the trade between go

and many thanks also to the united kingdom for being a strong and staunch ally, which really contributes to our collective defense in many different ways. we have just addressed russia's military build-up in and around ukraine. russia has already massed well over 100,000 combat-ready troops. with heavy equipment, missiles, and key enablers such as command and control and medical units. and we are closely monitoring russia's deployment in belarus, which is the biggest since the end of the cold war. this is a dangerous moment for european security. the number of russian forces is going up. the warning time for a possible attack is going down. nato is not a threat to russia. but we must be prepared for the worst, while remaining strongly committed to finding a political solution. the u.k. is playing a leading role. delivering both militarily and diplomatically. i welcome your offer of more troops, ships, and planes to nato. and the additional troops that you are deploying to poland showed allied solidarity in action. the u.k. leads nato's battlegroup in estonia. you contribute to nato's air

i assured him of the unwavering support of the united kingdom.nd i can tell you at this stage, ukrainians are offering a fierce defense of their families and country, and i know that every member will share my admiration for their resolve. earlier today, president putin delivered another televised address and offered the absurd pretexts that he sought the de-militarization of ukraine. in fact, he is holding the might of his military machine against a free and peaceful neighbor, in breach of his own explicit pledge, and every principle of civilized behavior. spurning the best efforts of this country under allies to avoid bloodshed. for this, putin will stand condemned in the eyes of the world and history. he will never be able to cleanse the blood of ukraine from the attack -- from his hands. although the u.k. and our allies tried every avenue for diplomacy until the final hour, i am driven to conclude that putin was always determined to attack his neighbor. no matter what we did. now, we see him for what he is. a bloodstained aggressor who believ

prime minister, thank you for the united kingdom's strong commitment of the transatlantic alliance and strong personal commitment to nato. once again, welcome. pm j >> great to see you again. when nato was founded 75 years ago, its members made a commitment to security unlike anything in previous history. when the berlin wall fell, the people of europe made clear people wanted their freedom and their security to be tied together. inextricably tied together. and that is why nato agreed that any country should be free to pursue the security alliances that it, that country, chose. and we must resist, we must oppose any return to the days when the fates of nations are decided over their heads by a handful of great powers. and i want to stress that this is not just about russia, just as nato itself is not just about russia. of course not. this is about upholding the founding principles of an alliance which perhaps more than any other institution, has brought stability and peace, prosperity to the world. and that must be the bedrock of our diplomatic efforts. the u.k.'s commitment to europea

kingdom who have asked — the united kingdom who have asked to _ the united kingdom who have asked toia to step back, president putin announced special military operations on ukrainian territory. this is unprovoked and unjustified. this is a grave day for ukraine, and forthe this is a grave day for ukraine, and for the principles of the united nations. we and our partners have been clear that there will be consequences for russia's actions. we fully support the united states' call for a un security council resolution. this council must do all it can to stop the war and uphold the charter. thank you. translation: ., ~ translation: i thank the representative _ translation: i thank the representative of - translation: i thank the representative of the - translation: | thank the | representative of the united kingdom _ representative of the united kingdom and _ representative of the united kingdom and now— representative of the united kingdom and now i - representative of the united kingdom and now i will- representative of the united kingdom and now i will give | representative of the un

the was already well on its way in the united kingdom, just moments round the corner. so the house of parliament, the comments that go to be meeting throughout the day to sign off sign, sit and deliver the sanctions with shadow defense. secretary said that he would be giving his utmost support to the government with those sanctions. so it seems as the parliament, the house of commons are actually quite united on this. so also to note for children that says the fact as the sanctions are actually just the 1st step. there's a baron more to come meshes, could even develop as the week goes by far, sons, and also hinted that he could send even more arms to ukraine in january. of course, as we know, britain sent 2000 weapons. they call it defensive weapons at the time, plus, also committing to potentially more boots on the ground. 2 countries that members of nato on the east and flank the comments that came from bar johnson yesterday and all omen a bad sign on a dark sign have now just been reiterated today. boris johnson, the government are acting on it bars. johnson will be

and that's the way it works in the united kingdom. in spite of the fact that we have got false within our democracy, we are able to be critical all our prime minister and our leaders. and that's all to do with free speech. but, but of course it is not just the electorate, it is the m p 's in parliament, but we'll have to say over johnson's fate. yes, and that is one of one of the, the phone lines in the conservative party needs to actually give more accountability within an organization. and by that i mean the following, 1st of all and the good. so the party chairman should be elected by an accountable to the membership. secondly, they should be proper motions at the concert party conference, and the constituency associations should have the right without interference of selected their own candidates. and by doing this, what will happen is that at a party conference ministers would have to listen to the questions and answer the questions of the party membership. and it is because the parties become so centric controlled that it is los

and that's the british broadcasting regulator here in the united kingdom. of course, telling it to take action against our tea. now, of course, is an independent body, has the power to fine or even revoke our license here in the united kingdom. now it says it's stepped up, it's oversight of coverage. so certainly keeping a close eye on our teeth, that's simply not good enough for the government. the government wants to c r t taken off because as the letter reads, auntie is part of russia's global disinformation campaign, and that it is essential the 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 un

things are developing very quickly here in the united kingdom. the prime minister, as i say, has just hosted this emergency cobra, me to not to meeting of all of the cabinet only happens in emergency situations. they're trying to coordinate the united kingdom's response, including this package of sanctions to be introduced immediately. now those sanctions have been threatened to full by the prime minister bars johnson, including targeting individuals and entities bring in these new powers to do so. any individual entity entity linked to the russian state. now, boris johnson also spoke to the president of ukraine last night, assuring him of british support, but also confirmation that these sanctions would then be introduced. now the u. k. has also been in close contact with the e u and the united states about launching a coordinated sanctions response. the e was already well on its way and the united kingdom just moments round the corner . so the house of parliament, the commons, they're going to be missing throughout the day to sign off sign seal

so effectively, it's all happening here in the united kingdom today in the house of commons. the u . k. has spoken it, standing in solidarity with ukraine and standing up against it perceives as russian aggression and of course has now impose these very severe sanctions shot. you. thank you. now as the west, the media and politicians are rounding on russia over the recognition or the don bass republics. china is basically taking a bit of a neutral stall and that's a joint benjamin child. now, professor at the paris school of technology and business that coming on the program here, when i see great to see you today, we were looking at a fairly moderate position from china with the latest crisis in ukraine, neither really supporting nor condemning rushes recognition of those republics, how would you, how would you read into this, mr. child? i think china has been very skilful on this issue in general. the time this policy is not to interfere with the domestic matters in foreign countries. for this time. china obviously does want to see a conflict between europe and russia. afte

we've seen similar convoys in the united kingdom and france and australia, new zealand. we're also hearing about chatter and talk about something similar potentially happening in the united states. a convoy may be even stretching from california, going to washington d. c, possibly disrupting the super bowl, or even president joe biden state of the union speech on march 1st. that remains to be seen. but one thing is very clear. this protest continues here on the ground in ottawa and other parts of canada. but as official accusations of insurrection and even treason fly in their direction, one trucker stressed to us the support, the protest has received from the people of ottawa. from what i gather, the majority of the residents of auto or that i have spoken to personally are overwhelmingly in support of us being here. many, many auto residents have walked up and down the street pass my truck. many have stopped to talk to me and like 99 percent is not hire of them all. thank us for being here. they support us. they ask if we need anything. we are well fed. we have lots of f

p 's here in the united kingdom, including the leader of the opposition st. p. say versions is not going far enough with these sanctions. in fact, it's more of just a slap on the wrist. and even as a kid, some has gone so far to talk at this very channel are t, he believe it should be taken over immediately and accuses it of spreading this information. i welcome the sanctions introduced today on the international committee efforts to unite with a collective response. however, we must be prepared to go further. russia ship excluded from financial mechanisms like swift and we ship on trading in russian sa, brenda. putin's campaign of misinformation should be chuckled. russia today should be prevented from broadcasting is probably gonna around the world. we should work with our european allies to ensure that north frame chief pipeline is clemson. so the plot hasn't been pulled on our tea just yet. in fact, barza johnson, he argues that this is a decision for comfort and broadcasting regulator. not a matter for politicians, which of course would be welcome news to m

we wait to hear what are the sanctions from the united kingdom with regard to financial institutions,o liquidity, finance and the city of london, and two russian billionaires with pretty big property holdings in the united kingdom. could that be the specter for sanctions? coming up, most people hate us, some people see us as an opportunity, we dive into the world of inflation trading. this is bloomberg. ♪ manus: welcome back to the open. who is benefiting from rising inflation? inflation trading. let's get to our bloomberg fx rates editor and co-author of today's big take. good day to you. inflation products. how do they work? take me beyond swap mania. >> the soaring inflation around the world is caused by cost-of-living prices for a lot of people. not so much on wall street where some people view it effectively as something of a goldmine. we know that some of the biggest banks on wall street last year made about $2.3 billion from trading on bets to inflation. that is more than double what they made in 2019. we know goldman sachs particularly have done well from this. they have made

i now give the floor to the representative of the united kingdom. >> mr. president, i think the secretary-general and undersecretary general dicarlo for their remarks. we are here tonight to: russia to avert war -- to call on russia to avert war. for months, russia has been holding a gun to ukraine's head. now president putin's figure -- finger is on the trigger. a full-scale conflict in a country of 44 million people will bring immense suffering, casualties on both sides, and devastating humanitarian consequences. the members of this council, the general assembly, and the secretary-general have all called this week for respect for the principles of the u.n. charter. the world is calling for peace, but russia is not listening. mr. president, make no mistake, the u.k. will not compromise. we will not compromise our commitment to ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. our support for peace, prosperity, and the democratic freedom of the people of ukraine. we will not compromise our commitment to the purpose and principles of the u.n. charter. above

so from the united kingdom, i suspect there's a lot was to come with earlier we discussed the recent events with former united nations weapons inspector, scott ritter, who believes the west is stoking the embers of war and ukraine. the security guarantee for lugens can don't. yes, we're supposed to be mentally makes meant to agreement on that agreement gone, russia made it clear that it has no validity. there. there's nothing those days are over. russia is going to guarantee their security. russia said that ukraine's membership and nato represents and a, an unacceptable risk. if nato continues to pursue this false promise of nato membership, if you train continues to pursue it continues to feed as fantasy by supplying weapons. i'm afraid we might see a, another phase of this conflict, which all nato has to respond with are sanctions which pressure to care less about . so i'm, i'm very concerned that the west doesn't have a plan to deal with this diplomatically. there will be no one who benefits from this. and, you know, russian president vladimir putin said this over and over again th

well o t is in the spotlight here in the united kingdom for 2nd day in a row. that's because m p 's calling for this very tunnel to be taken off as spearheading that campaign is the leader of the opposition to kids star huh. and in his words, r t, a c, as putin's personal propaganda tool. and he's accusing its gentleness of spouting, disinformation. russia today is his personal propaganda. i can see no reason why it should be allowed to continue to pro cost in this country. so will the promise to now i'll stop calm to review its license. i need to speak, i believe, get my writing friends at 3 state. go to meet in school has already all still come to review that nasa. but what i will say this is beaca is that is that we live in a, in a democracy, mrs because we live into a country that believes in free speech. and i think that important that we should leave it up to off home rather than to politicians to decide which media roy organizations a good back. that's what russia goes off, come has already said it is going to investigate. examine complaints about ortiz

the permanent representative of the united kingdom. mister president, we meet this evening because earlier to day, president putin announced the russian federation recognition of the independence of the so called done yet people's republic. and luc hands people's republic. and issued a decree to send russian military forces into ukraine as so called peacekeepers. colleagues, the actions russia has chosen to day. we'll have severe and far reaching consequences. first to human life, an invasion of ukraine unleashes the forces of war, death, and destruction on the people of ukraine. the humanitarian impact will be terrible on civilians fleeing the fighting. we know that women and children will suffer most 2nd to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a u. n. member state, which is protected and guaranteed by the un charter as the secretary general said earlier. russia's decisions or a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. and inconsistent with the principles of the un charter. 3rd, to international law.

the united kingdom is working with our nato allies to make sure we are strengthening defense. this is purely defensive. nato is a defensive alliance, and that is up to the right approach to take. but it would be better if russia were to deescalate. and these responses was necessary, but we have to make sure that we are working with our nato allies and we are standing by our security agreements. i've already responded on your points about the documents. our embassy works in good faith with institutions across russia to strengthen our relationship in areas from culture, to mathematics, to science. and that's what we want to do. but it is proving very difficult in an environment where russia is actively threatening a sovereign nation. dana make, i news if i can foreign secretary, a foreign minister, just write these talks through she did it was they don't but we could we come to tom part of the times please. thank you. good afternoon. question. first for secretary, this trust please. president mccrendon france said this week that president putin had committed to not launch any ne

however long it takes that will be the steadfast and unflinching go of united kingdom. i hope of every member of this house and every one of our great allies, so that together we have the power and the will to defend the cause of peace and justice of it as we have always done. and i say to the people of russia again, whose president has just authorize an onslaught against a fellow slavish people. i cannot believe that this hora is being done in your name or that you really want the pariah status, that these actions will bring to the putin, reggie and to our ukranian friends in his moment of agony. i say that we are with you and we are on your side, your right to choose your own destiny is a right that the united kingdom and our allies will always defend. and in that spirit, i join you in saying slobber, ukrainian, and i commend his statement to the high yet all the latest. johnson, the u. k. prime minister. they're not pulling any punches whatsoever. signaling very, very clearly, as he gives way in the house that suit masochist armor, the leader of the main opposition l

but many of these here in the united kingdom, including the leader of the opposition, simply say, versions is all going far enough with these sanctions. in fact, it's more of just a slap on the wrist. and even as a kid, some has gone so far to target this very channel r t. he believes it should be taken over immediately, and accusative of spreading this information. i welcome the sanctions introduced today and the international communities efforts to unite with a collective response. however, we must be prepared to go further. russia excluded from financial mechanisms like swift and we should been trading in russian sovereign do. peaches, campaign of misinformation should be topical russia today should be prevented from broadcasting is probably gonna around the world. and we should work with our european allies to ensure that north frame 2 pipeline is come soon. so the plot hasn't been pulled on our t just yet. in fact, barza johnson, he argued, is a, this is a decision of comfort and broadcasting regulator. not a matter for politicians, which of course would be welcome news to many of our

there are lots of domestic problems in the united kingdom also with democracy, of course. or the other hand, i still cannot understand how normal democracy and the normal democracy means a stable power is it's so easy to topple the government here, the prime minister. because it should, the morgan should not work like that. the book should be, should put away the stable conditions for the government to work or every time to, to change people every time to, to defend against this candles or these type of democracy. i don't believe that is very suitable for the other countries. the u. k. of course, calling for diplomacy based dialogue, but at the same time sending more troops to poland. well, if you will take on love, it syndic more. the ropes to the campus which are so called new members of nato, is prohibited by the following agreements between the russian leader by the founding act. they did 1997, which does not allow the appearance of nuclear weapons and major troops on the day of new countries. now they are increasing troops in the baltics and in poland. and this will l

doubt that the signatories of the united | that the signatories of the united states and the united kingdom whatever military support it's up there —— it's a prepared to do so? he military support it's up there -- it's a prepared to do so?- it's a prepared to do so? he is absolutely _ it's a prepared to do so? he is absolutely right _ it's a prepared to do so? he is absolutely right to _ it's a prepared to do so? he is absolutely right to remind i it's a prepared to do so? he is absolutely right to remind the | it's a prepared to do so? he is absolutely right to remind the house of the 1994 budapest memorandum, which had exactly that effect and created that obligation on us. mr created that obligation on us. m speaker, the prime minister will be aware that we are on this side of the house very keen on these sanctions. although does he share with me the worry that the record of driving out dictators and demagogues with these sanctions isn't always a successful? does he share my concern that if we read what putin has been saying these last few hours, he's a man that might not stop at ukraine?

the united kingdom will never recognise russian sovereignty over those regions. while the conversation was reported, the about positions of russian troops with the british envoy demanding they be removed from ukraine, whereas the ra stove and vote on as regions have always been unquestionably positive. russia who was apparently confusing them with the conflict we didn't don't. yes. can the hands can regions of eastern ukraine? atlanta has sparked a wave of mockery on the internet. meanwhile, as the top diplomats were trying to maintain peace in moscow, british prime minister boris johnson met with the head of nato in brussels. as the k plans to boost his military presence in eastern europe, artie shoddy edwards dusty reports. even though british officials are wanting russia to stop the cold war rhetoric, it seems the war of was, is really happening in the west between nato. and indeed, boris johnson in the joint press conference earlier today, the number of russian forces is going up. the warning on for a possible attack is going down. this is probably the most d
