in coma, doro, we've got you in for a hiv 11 degrees on wednesday. that's a snapshot of your weather. take care bye for now. i saw an official outline of the journey. is a wave of sentiment around the world, if you will. she won't accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voice is not heard because i just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover the big stories and we'll report from the big events that are going on. but we will say, tell the stories of people generally don't have a voice. and then when i was a child, that's never be afraid to put your hand up and ask a question. and i think that's what i'm really does. we ask the question for people who should be accountable and also if we get people to give their view of what's going on with, i must go back separatists in ukraine, say they will hold snap referendums on joining russia. and the war dominates the un

general assembly as world leaders demand an immediate end to the conflict. ah. right to have you with us. i'm cyril van. yeah, you're watching al 0 live from doha. also coming up on the show. an independent investigation finds is really forces deliberately killed al jazeera journalists, sharina, luckily and hurricane fiona, gather strength, even as we have it in the caribbean. so, russian control regions in eastern and southern ukraine say they will hold referendums on joining russia this week. eve is calling this move a sham, the u. s. says it will not recognize the results of the vote, which will be held on friday and will take place in for regents landscape. and yet, zap arissa and kristen,

that's about 15 percent of ukraine's territory altogether. al jazeera is gabriel elizondo has more from the ukranian capital in separation and in no yes. in both of those regions, russia only holds roughly about 50 percent of the territory. their local officials have said that they only plan to hold this referendum vote in the part of those regions their russian forces do currently hold. how though, it's really unprecedented to try to hold some sort of referendum such as this in active wars zone is exactly what they're facing right now. it also appears that this was hastily organized or put together, given the fact that one of the local russian imposed officials in desperation said, well, we're going to hold this referendum by the internet voting and by mail. even though in that area, both mail and internet service are very unreliable at best and in most cases not

even available. so. busy still lots of questions to be worked out here. we do expect or we are hearing, at least that russia is president vladimir put and potent could be addressing the russian people in a televised address. so be watching that closely to see what more he has to say about this important to point out. we've already heard from ukraine and officials, including the foreign minister that is calling this referendum vote, assuming it goes forward and his words a sham. they're just rolling their eyes and they say it's just simply a joke. gabriel is on the reporting there. russia is foreign minister, sort of a lab ross says it's up to the people living in separate just controlled areas to decide what they want most on the show are from the very beginning of the special military operation. and before it, we've been saying that the people that the respective territory should decide their own fate. the whole current situation confirms that they want to be master of their own fate. earlier i spoke to anna or hernandez, senior scholar at the carnegie endowment for international peace. i asked her what

the end game is for the russian president vladimir putin. here's what you told me. there is no angle for rush. i mean that there are one hasn't been announced, which gives the president and his significant ambiguity. and the key is something that he can use throughout the war as well as the time comes to negotiate. originally, at the beginning of this invasion as if a cation regime change. but overall as time went on goals also shifted and most recently seem to signal as you also played in a quote before this, than you now. so this was our goal all along me to liberate don't yes, the little hans, republics. but of course, if this was the goal of all along, it really demonstrates the foolishness of kremlin strategy in invading trying to invade all of your brain. one pathway to this is that by essentially changing the border and recognizing this for republics though,

it may be calming russia's eyes russian territory. so this in cremeans ice gives the president which in some legitimacy at home and abroad, to say that this is not, or that, that this war is being wage on our territory. a, something that he already paid backlash in and some high corporation organization. some it was based on ah, and the conflict and ukraine dominated speeches on the 1st day of the un general assembly. several western countries accused russia returning to an age of imperialism or diplomatic editor james bass reports from new york. excellency's. ladies and gentlemen, our world is in big trouble of the un secretary general antonio terrace, setting

a grim tone for this meeting. among the many conflicts in the world, continue to rage one the war and ukraine will dominate proceedings this week. and as the meeting was taking place, news was confirmed that in the ukrainian provinces of lou hands and don't ask votes within days, will take place on whether to become part of russia. this was the reaction of the us ambassador to the un. they will not be recognized by anyone in the international community. they were not recognized in 2014 and it will not be recognized at this time around. it is illegal annexation of another countries territory. nato secretary general told me he believes russia may be acting now because of the loss is it suffered during the recent ukrainian offensive such different law have and no legitimacy recall. so they are, has shame a friend. those on the they will not change the nature over the war. this remain so

war of aggression against the ukraine on her. it represents an escalation. ah, because if suddenly this faith or is which are a part of ukraine are declared as part of russia that will further escalate the conflict? the general assembly heard from 2 leaders who maintained a dialogue with president putin throughout the war. the president of turkey, a recipe type early one, help negotiate a deal to expose the grain from ukraine. he says that now needs to be a dignified end to the war. tennessee president emanuel macro of france in an impassioned speech was much tougher on russia. although not over foul, you, as i am speaking to you now, there are russian troops in ukraine and hundreds as far as i know, there are no ukrainian troops in russia. that's a fact. and we all have to recognize that the longer this war goes on for the more it threatens peace in europe, in the entire world. and it leads to a wider, permanent conflict whose, where the suffer entity and security of every one will only depend on power loss.

what we have been witnessing since february 24th is a returned to imperialism and colonialism. good. ukraine is expected to be one of the focuses of president by speech, the general assembly on wednesday. there's also a speech delivered by video by present zalinski and on thursday, a meeting of the un security council as foreign minister level again on ukraine. james bays al jazeera of the united nations and in his speech to the u. n. g. a. just over an hour ago, the german chancellor also referred to moscow's imperial ambitions. mike hannah is un headquarters in new york. my goal shows did not pull his punches against letterman. no, indeed, not all of sharps warned off the threat of common use of war to achieve political power pointing to the invasion of ukraine as an example. he insisted like many of the other leaders who spoke in the course of the day that flattered me

a putin on russia must be sharply condemned full this ongoing action. he said that bloody me putin would not give up until he knew that he had lost. and he said that the united nations itself as a very serious role to play in this ongoing conflict on that's who to contact the international order does not happen by itself. if we do nothing in this charter is but a piece of paper, this charter calls and all of us to uphold its purposes in principles. and we must not stand idly by when a major nuclear power armed the t. a founding member of the united nations and a permanent member of the un security council, no less seeks to shift borders through the use of violence. there is no justification whatsoever for russia's war of occupation against ukraine. on another subject, the german chancellor said that the world buddy must have done to the rules and norms of the 21st century. he says,

some customs date back 30 to 70 years. and what he was referring to was reform off the security council. in particular. he said adding the voice of the global south that has been lacking. this is particularly significant, given the platform that the a german chancellor was speaking on, the general assembly itself. all right, mike hannon reporting life new york. thank you very much. and you have new prime minister liz trust is under pressure to avert the deepening economic crisis in the wake of the war and ukraine and soaring energy prices. she took office just 2 days before elizabeth died. the barker reports from london morning queen elizabeth on an industrial scale requires a huge amount of kit. and now a massive amount of dismantling. most flags, a bucketful must, although morning will continue to be observed for another 7 days within the royal household. and for the rest of the country, well, reality bites with

a new government facing a mounting in tray of major problems. but before any big announcements, prime minister less trust is attending another massive media moment. here the un general assembly in new york, where ukraine of the global energy crisis dominates. she's also flying in for a 1st official meeting with president biden. although moments after landing she conceded hopes of a post breaks it. you k, u s tre deal could be many, many years away that we're not going to achieve the results even night. it is going to take time. but with a foster going economy, we can't afford to spend on the public services that we'll rely on, like the national health service. at the same time, is enabling people to keep more money in their pocket. while that promise sinks in back home, pressing questions over how the country will afford the 150000000000 dollar energy bailout, the government pledge to help households avoid soaring bills. a detailed trust miss

changes not seen in the united kingdom since 1830. and while many people of course welcome a return of british politics, everybody knows how difficult the challenges ahead really are. and peas aren't even back at work yet. but already british railway workers say they are planning to strike on october. the 1st overpay and conditions. other workers from other industries may follow in a summer dominated for months by the resignation of boys johnson and the election of less trust as prime minister opposition m. p say crucial times, been wasted. weeks of frantic policy making await. he park al jazeera london still ahead on al jazeera moore protests in iran after the death of a woman was arrested by the morality police was this police in prison. officials protest in south africa saying that they can no longer

unforgivable, and has promised to hold ronnie and officials accountable. what it says are human rights abuses. officials in cyprus, have rescued hundreds of migrants drifting and see in a small wooden boat. the boat sent out a distress call on monday afternoon after experiencing engine trouble. the migrants had left lebanon 3 days ago, and we're trying to reach italy. they've all been transferred of order cargo ships . it is now heading to a stumble. hurricane fiona is continuing to gain strength and threatened lives as it ripped through the caribbean. residents have been ordered to take shelter on the turks and cake. also, islands are, again, has left the trail of destruction across the caribbean, killing one person in the dominican republic, and 4 people in puerto rico where power was knocked out across the entire us. territory houses here as men well, ro, palo has more from lloyd, a municipality, and puerto rico that's been badly affected by flooding. this is the eastern part of

the island of puerto rico, flood waters from hurricane fiona, have begun to subside. but as you can see behind me, there is still water on the doorsteps of many of the residents of this community. some of the worst flooding that we've heard reported has occurred in the southern part of the island of puerto rico. were rivers and streams spilled. their banks causing damage to rhodes and causing collapses of bridges, cutting out power for thousands of residents. there are still many, many people here on the island that don't have electricity that don't have running water. authorities are working to quickly restore power to the whole island to restore running water, to people across puerto rico. we also have heard from the us national hurricane center that says that hurricane unit continues to move northward, very slowly bringing heavy rain and wind to the dominican republic to the islands of turks in keiko's. there are tropical storm warnings issued for the bahamas. the hurricane center, the united states is also said that the, as

a storm continues to move north, north east, it is expected to continue to gather strength, though it does not pose any threat to the us mainland. there have been protests in pakistan's cindy province after the government diverted flood waters to rural areas in order to save urban settlements. villagers blocked the major highway and they had vowed to continue protesting until authorities health engineers released water from a lake earlier this month in an attempt to save a nearby town and city. but that put villages that are home to 150000 people in the path of the floods outside our dalazana. our only demand is that the government take measures to clear water from our houses. we don't need relief, we'll find work and take care of ourselves. we are in big trouble and we just want to go back to our village. no one is ready to help us. hundreds of police and prison officials are on strike in south africa, demanding higher pay. they say their salaries are no longer enough to put food on the table. inflation. is that a 13 year high?

howard with ta, so reports from pretoria. i in some other countries. it's rate to see police and prison officials protesting. they are considered an essential service. but unions in south africa, did they want to pressure the government into addressing the rising cost of living to you of what have little leverage on a day to day basis. sending the labor and at the end of the day does nothing that the able to put to the table to take it will get them work. as i rejected a 3 percent awake increase saying it's not enough to help them cope higher food and fuel prices. the world bankers, it is not as one of the most unequal countries in the world. many people here are finding it hard to make ends meet. the economy doesn't seem to be improving. and more unions are threatening to go on strike in the coming weeks. so that because crippling power cut also fueling public frustration, electricity can go for hours a day here, reducing business productivity, which could lead to job losses with

a very high levels of unemployment, their expenses of african. the moment, especially if we're looking at around the 36 percent mark, look economic growth. they're like no comma 7 percent economic growth. we do not have enough growth to actually be driving the soft and economy the way we need in order to not only reduced that unemployment, but be able to create sufficient, shall we say, jobs or large cells for people to be able to survive. my local mocha baby managed to make a few dollars selling food to some of the demonstrators. she understands why people are angry with them. i can't afford friends. my kids are at school. there are days . i feel hopeless. hey. oh prison sir. my pleasure is not attending this week's un general assembly meeting in york saying is going to tackle the electricity crisis. whatever challenges facing the country. it seems africa most industrialized economy is in trouble as more and more south africans going increasingly frustrated.
