The valve that you turned the lever on ,(which let water out) needs to be connected to a hose that is connected to mains cold water supply. I suspect the hose that you need to use is the grey one connected to the silver tap. It's end is currently shoved Into a vertical white pipe.

But then how will the water go into the radiator ?i mean if i turn on the valve water comes out, connecting a hose to it to supply water doesnt make sense right ? The hose u talking about is connected to washingmachine.

I suspect it is the second red hose that is loose on the floor.

The water in the mains is at a higher pressure than the water that is in your system. If the hose is connected properly, without leaks, it will fill the system.
However, the system and radiators will need to be bled as they are filled, to enable trapped air to escape. Do you know how to do this?

Ok ,couldnt make out that it connected to washing machine. It must be the red hose that is used ,that connects to the other silver tap ,and supplies the mains water to top up the system.

Okay i will try supplying the water link you guys said...disconnecting the washing machine

No ,don't touch the washing machine hose. It's the red hose that's connected to the silver tap ,that's the one to connect to the valve that water comes out of.
Does the loose end of that red coloured hose Screw on to the valve that water came out of ?

There are 2 red colored hose , one is completely disconnected and another one is connected to another radiator.(for other floors).

 

[terryplumb]

Which hose is connected to the silver tap ,is it the one which connects to the other boiler (what you call a radiator is a boiler).
If it is ,show us a picture where it connects to the other boiler.

You can temporarily remove the hose from the tap to the second boiler, if the tap and boiler valves are both closed.
I think it looked like the boiler valve was closed on your video.

If you succeed, ensure that the system and radiators are bled before attempting to run the boiler, or you could damage it.

There are plenty of YouTube videos demonstrating how this is done.
You may have to top up the system with water multiple times, as more air is expelled.

If you are still struggling to get a good connection to the hose, and have trouble understanding how to bleed the system, it may be time to call in a professional.

As said above ,close the silver tap that the red hose connects to ,remove it's other end from the second boiler ,and connect it to the other boilers valve ( the one that you let water run out from). Then open that valve and the one with silver handle.
