tuck, we've got you in for 26 degrees on wednesday. see you later. ah, a with, [000:00:00;00] ah, president vladimir putin announces plans to call off more russians to help with the

military campaign in ukraine. ah, i know about this, and this is all 0 live from dough. have also coming up. russia's invasion of ukraine dominates the un general assembly with ward leaders denouncing plans by 4 ukrainian regions to join russia. an independent investigation concludes that israeli forces deliberately targeted and killed the al jazeera journalist chevy to i black lab. i can, fiona strengthens as it moves up the atlantic ocean after destroying pots of puerto rico and the dominican republic president vladimir putin calling up more soldiers to fight in the war in ukraine. he made the announcement during a rare address to the nation. the defense minister says the partial mobilization will involve drafting about $300000.00 personnel. sh it comes as russian troops are

losing ground in key is a counter offensive in the northeast. this move comes a day after moscow, back separatists and fall, ukrainian regions said they would hold a referendum to become part of russia should learn your credit. mm hm. but directly, it is necessary to support the proposal of the ministry of defense and the general staff to hold a partial military immobilization in russia. i repeat, we are talking of a partial mobilization only the only people in the military reserve will be drafted . the priority will be on people who served in the armed forces. you have military specialization and experience those drafted before being sent to the places of service. you will have mandatory additional training relying on experienced gained during the special a military operation of the decree on partial mobilization has been signed. gabriel, alexanders joining us live now from key. we're starting to get a few more details about what this partial military mobilization means. one wonders

what the reaction in keith is going to be what we're hearing that this partial mobilization goes into effect immediately and that reservists within the russian military will be getting their notices immediately to report to bases and or prepare to go to bases to begin training then to be sent to the battlefield spaces. now we're also hearing that current russian soldiers that are already under contract will immediately have their contracts extended indefinitely. while this special military operation as a kremlin calls, it continues forward. certainly this is a key development because this is, as you mentioned, there from the defense minister saying that it could immediately call into effect

into the forces up to 300000 russian reservists who have military training or were previously in the military. beyond that from vladimir putin speech, he also did confirm another very key thing and that's that they are going to push forward with referendums in at least 3 key ukrainian areas, particularly the don bass, which is hunger. and don, yes. and he also mentioned zapper asia as well. he said the, the goals have not changed according to vladimir potent. it is to completely in his words, liberate the don't you ask region who hands region collectively make up don bass. the interesting part about this is that in don't, yes, russia does not control the whole thing. they only control roughly 50 percent of it as the ukrainians continue their offensive push into parts of don't yes can in

separation where he also said they plan to hold a referendum as well. there. russia only holds roughly 50 percent of that as well. so to be very interesting to see how this referendum they plan to hold this referendum, given the fact on territory, they don't even control. all of already. we've heard previously from officials here and keith and elsewhere in western capital's saying that this any referendum is simply a sham game for now. thank you very much. indeed. let's go to the mead whose joining us live from hockey. as gabe was saying, they'd be intention to hold these referendums, but of course there is still fighting going on. and many of these reason these parts of the country one would imagine that it's going to be make it difficult to hold any sort of vote. just talk us through if you could what the situation is there at the moment. ah, well, i mean this is a country where there are multiple front lines here in the north east of the

country. no d ukrainians have been since the beginning of the month. a going ahead with this counter offensive that has taken a really everyone by surprise. and i'm supposing also the russians considering how quickly they retreated than they abandoned these at the heart keep region. now ukrainians, or have been saying that they were dead. the russian soldiers here are. busy who also had among them as some of the, as separate as forces from them against region were understaffed and under an under, equipped in, despite of the country, as the russians had moved a lot of their cup abilities to other areas like the dumbass region like have sewn region in the south of the country where also another ukranian counter offensive is expected. so there is need for the russians to have more personnel here days needed

for them to have more military hardware here on the ground than the the ukrainians have been very cautious when everybody was sort of hailing this counter offensive of the officials at least where say we can still be outnumbered, we can still be outgunned by the russian. there still more than 2000 kilometers of front lines in total in this country. so this is just the beginning. now, under russian side, while this counter offensive was happening, we saw it on a russian t. v ad. we saw it among you know, in social media, and they was an open conversation about what is going on exactly in ukraine at this stage. many question raised on the russian side, and everyone was expecting you any official you would speak to any person you would speak to under street would say we will have to see what is going to be rushes response to discount to offensive. and this is what we're seeing now,

president putin is saying that he's going to mobilize up to 300000. revisit reserve is that is actually the devil of those who were 1st implicated in the invasion of this war in their back in february. and there was about a $150000.00 at the time, according to estimate. so that gives an indication that the was bugged down into dumbass area. you know, they each side sort of gain sarah, she loses territory, but no one is making any significant again, or anything that would consolidate is position in that area. in the upper region, you have exactly the same air position, and then you have concern where it is sad. that's the russian soldiers. i now isolated, they were being resupplied by the big crimea ban insula, that russia next and back in 2014 that bridges there have been bummed out. and it is sad that those forces there were sort of kite isolated and not able to carry out

any kind of defensive lives in case the ukrainians indeed started to counter offensive there. so i think what russians trying to do is beef up all these positions that they have in this country, while these referendums go on, why they trying to also legitimize politically deposition in the areas of dumbass where the separatists are in control. but certainly also maybe also send a message to the russian troops that are here. that support is coming quickly because that position, at least lately, has been quite difficult. how to thank you very much. indeed, that's hot of the hamid talking to us from a khaki want to bring in samuel romani, his associate follow at the roles united services institute. he's joining us from oxford in the u. k. very good to have you with us. i'm suggesting that to harder was making there was that this was an vacation that russia would be supplying troops quickly, but there's gotta be funding put in place for more weaponry. there's gotta be

training for 300000 troops and we're heading into winter. how much is the timing of this going to be a factor? because all of that is going to take time, isn't it? yes, is not good. i definitely take a sheet mediately, unless there's been plans for the sat behind the scenes that we don't know about. we're already noticing some small movements and additional cost groups and ships. for example, there's a movement of the $400.00 conscripts now closer to the belgrade city with any which is right near the russian ukrainian border. but he had 2 full 100000 in the front that with a tap with 300000 troops. will that be enough to turn the tide in russia's favor? well, so at least you look at russian estimates, for example, russian sender vitamins. yep. and i just made a statement and said that in some areas the occupied regions, ukraine has got a $3.00 to $1.00 manpower advantage, generally from successful canada venza. from military standpoint. you need to have

between 2 or 3 times as many forces on the right hand side that on the russian side . and the russians are hoping that even if it's not dot, turn the tide of the war and lead to market russian territorial expansions, it'll help to avoid defeats. i to withdraw that we saw on guard. he's a few weeks back. why do you think he's gone for partial mobilization rather than a full one? but at least initial le assessment from the russian military and also from bad brush lawmakers that a general vocalization is not necessary. i general mobilization would also be much more controversial or show politically. for example, survey sure, i give the key defensiveness, made it very clear as students and conscripts under the age of 27 are not going to be brought into the sad war. this is just going to be a mobilization for reserves, and that's a very key decision because the popularity this war amongst those median 30 significantly last that is amongst those who are in their forties or fifties. so it's, i think you think that, that appeasing and preventing any kind of discontent about rush youth as well as

also major russian cities like mosque as saint petersburg, which had been my son affected by the war and the poor regions of the country, but had subscribed to a lot of that jingle istic nationalism miranda. so i used that political decision mostly, and a lot of the focus is of course on don't boss and the, the regions to the, particularly to the south east of the of ukraine. what does that mean in terms of the negotiations, given the fact that this appears to be an end game, if you like, it appears to be a focus for the russian government and for vladimir putin does that allow the negotiators on either side to start for of good to give him a framework if you like to work with in, with regards to that one particular area that might allow them to need go negotiate some sort of status if you're like, for that region that would allow both sides a way out of this conflict. so i think that it was very difficult anyway, to begin with to see those nations are making progress. ukrainian rhetoric at least

laskey. it's been that the shock we take over all the occupied territory, including crimea, where the russians could you call for a diaz b crane, which is actually announcing that he resides. there's a regime change, as well as that explains recognition of occupations of territory that they've held for 8 years and character. even the current one locations are already almost a dead stop. but this move will almost certainly put it over the top. it was very clear from skis office, there was a quote that came and said it was a very small window for negotiations before this. now that windows completely closed and hm rushed expert. i spoke to you last week. he was familiar with the automatic process. he said, 2 things would lead to a stop and, you know, she is the execution of the at either stop still fighters medical. and the 2nd is it recognition as zachary shakers on getting us, no hands because part of russia and one of those 2, i just take it a fact and it will take effect as we get some of the money. we appreciate your time as always. so thank you very much indeed for being with us on al jazeera. thank you

very much. ah, well, the green war dominated speeches and the 1st day of the un general assembly, more leaders criticized rushes war with the french president describing the invasion as a return to imperialism. our diplomatic editor james bay's reports from new york. excellent seas, ladies and gentlemen. our world is in big trouble. the un secretary general antonio tara 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. nicole. so they are, has shame her friend. those on the, they were not to change the, the nature over the war. this remain so war of aggression against her ukraine on her. it represents an escalation. ah, because if suddenly this phases, which are part of ukraine are declared as port to 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 recipe

type. odom 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. oh no, not over foul. you, as i am speaking to you now, there are russian troops in ukraine and hood 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 is also a speech delivered by the video by president zalinski and on thursday, a meeting of the un security council at 40 minutes level again on ukraine. james

bays al jazeera of the united nations. i still had an order 0 police and prison officials and protest in south africa saying they can no longer afford to put food in the table. ah. i their great tissue is certainly a fresh feel across a huge swath of europe. so here's the details for you on wednesday. partly what's going on is we've got this bris when off the baltic sea, that's northwind. so a cooler wind and it's digging in further toward the south. so we go in for a closer look around central areas, eastern areas right through the balkans. i mean look at this, sophia bulgaria, 14 degrees. that's about 10 below where you should be for this and the are outbreaks of showers. and i wouldn't be surprised if we'd see some sundry downpours as well. but the better bet for a stormy mix of weather turkey is ne black seacoast. that includes traps on with
