  We present new milliarcsecond resolution observations of the H1 absorption
against the kiloparsec scale inner jet of the radio galaxy 3C293. Using a
combination of observations obtained with global VLBI, MERLIN and the VLA we
have imaged the strong and extensive neutral hydrogen absorption against the
radio core and jet of this source across a wide range of angular scales.
  In this proceedings we will present these new combined milliarcsecond scale
VLBI results alongside our previous lower resolution MERLIN studies of the H1
absorption in this source. This study will allow us to investigate the
distribution and dynamics of the H1 absorption in the centre of this source
from scales of arcseconds to a few milliarcsecond.
