buford, which out? exaggerating with local hours and colleagues are in some kind of military frenzy of them are going up, my gosh, they only talk about one thing among the grizzled punish. you know, you will a type of girl. we will punish you and save ukraine. it won't be pretty and you've got the rose up, which was for the murderer of so was it. so the west is using all these hysterical statements to make their position claim newman. we are ready for any developments you cigarettes, your food. we did not attack any one of those. we have been attacked little force and those who did it thought legit served every time. are you on the hood so therefore, i will not speculate about our western partners. you will so your bush, they are weak and apparently, as i do not really know how to get out of the am pass into which they have got themselves chilled, why should form rest or their speaking earlier? let's take you to moscow to our bureau chief year. it was shadow who is closely following developments. a yury, the russian foreign minister. we just heard him accusing the west of overreacting any sign that the kremlin might consider pulling back troops to de escalate tensions. not yet, la la, i'm russian, troops are still stationed on the z ukrainian border. but if you see this built up, not as the real preparation for war, but rather escort, i believe it was intended for, namely as intimidation. then today's talks obviously also play an important role for the russians. are the kremlin, achieved already, at least one of its important goals as a whole world is watching and the whole wall girl is wandering. what vladimir put in once as russian president certainly has international media attention and also rushes actual goal as stop to need to eastern expansion is now known to everyone. militarily, russia has a much tougher starting position than during the last talks a year ago in berlin. considering that the nato could support ukraine if a war actually breaks out. and as for foreign policy, put in isn't good, a strong position either. after the massive troop deployment on the ukraine and border moscow has turned to the entire western world against it. and nato has made it very clear that putins demands to stop eastern expansion are and nonstarter yuri . can you give us a sense of how all this is being seen in russia? does it animate a lot of people? is there support for a possible invasion of ukraine? why would say the public opinion in russia is changing now? ah, just a few weeks ago. hardly any one here seriously believed that a real war can break out. what is the opinion changed? is at that i think nato's announcement that the alliance will strengthen its presence in the eastern europe. this decision most likely took not only president putin by surprise, but ordinary russians as well. ah, nato's decision came in response to the demands of the kremlin, had presented to nate or with the request for written feedback. and the fact that the needle is going to deploy more troops close to russia are the fact that the weapons are, are being delivered to ukraine. are all there is increasing concerns in russia that ariel war could to break out. and many russians now are thinking, of course, russia has to defend itself. our service show only 4 percent of the russians are convinced that their to moscow is to blame for air possible conflict. the huge majority blames rather nato, for it did of use yury rachada reporting from moscow. russia. thank you. let's get you up to speed now on some of the other stories making headlines to day kurdish let forces see they have regained control of most of a prison in northern syria. days after was taken over by inmates. dozens of people were killed when the team, members of the so called islamic states seized the site last week. unicef has expressed concerns over around $850.00 children, held at the facility. people across australia have taken to the streets to protest australia day, many carrying the australian aboriginal flag. the contentious anniversary marks the arrival of the british to australia in 1788. protesters said explicitly links the country's national identity to colonialism and want the date changed. but francis has called on parents not to condemn their children. if they are again, he made the comment in his weekly general audience at the vatican. it is another gesture of outreach to the l. g. b t q. community which has long been marginalized by the catholic church now to where it could potentially shape up to be make or break days for british prime minister wars johnson. today, the u. k. leader faced a grilling in parliament as his political survival hangs in the balance. mister johnson rebuffed cause to resign and said you can comment on an ongoing internal investigation into multiple alleged parties in downing street in the country was in lockdown and inquiry into the gatherings is expected to be published within days. london's metropolitan police have also opened their own investigation. leader of the opposition gear stammer suggested the prime minister had knowingly misled parliament. the minister of code says the ministers who knowingly mislead parliament will be expected to offer that resignation. does the prime minister believe that applies to him?
