carefully under review. there is no other variant that is of a concern an out there at this point in time. we have seen some rises in infection over the last week but given the increase of social, that was supposed to be expected. there s no particular concern. thank you for joining us on the program. sajid javid, think you. let s find out what the papers are doing this morning. this morning, the story about the mom and baby who have both died as a result of that bombing at the mariupol hospital has come to late for the front page. the fda reports that russia s most deadly strike today to honor military base near the polish border was meant as a warning to nato, not to supply weapons to ukraine. the mayor says that mr. putin now has the west in its sight. they also feature the boastfully to president putin in the name of god, stop this massacre. the times also reports, russia has turn to china for help with its military campaign.
conducting war. one from vladimir putin s point of view, he is getting short of options. and this is the tactic that he has resorted to. and therefore the inevitable consequences this absolutely appalling tragedy of this mother and child die. quite disgraceful. it defies human life in the 21st century. also targeting a military barracks if you will with peacekeepers there. ten minutes for the nato border. that is perilously close to looking for war with all they know countries. that s right, but you ve got to keep this one in perspective. any of the territory of ukraine. from the russians point of view, is a legitimate target. so far as they have launched and are waging war on ukraine. and therefore, they re actually

so sure that there are differentiating between the east of the country already down the west of the country. so yes of course, it is very close, ten miles, a very short drive from poland. and therefore from nato territory. but critically, this is on ukrainian territory. it was ukrainian military base. and therefore, in recognize, where they have prepared to justify. that was a legitimate target. it s close to a border crossing point, close to where people are fleeing the country, so it is another example of the total irresponsibility of the total savagely which vladimir putin and his acolytes and troops are conducting against ukraine. it s again, once that ukraine has an absolute for the people there to live the life that they choose to live. they ve chosen democracy, they ve chosen to uphold the rule of law. we are quite right in supporting them and applauding them. and condemning in the roundest
as all civilized countries have a part in making it possible for refugees to come to this country. and i think vladimir putin scheme of [inaudible] i think the other issue which i find puzzling still is the whole issue of how people have to be vetted. we are not dealing with people coming out of syria nor iraq where there are concerns of terrorism or whatever. these are european people whose country is under threat. and i think, frankly, we need to be prepared to take a risk and let people come in. and if necessary, vet them once they ve got here. the really important thing here is that we are open, we are
