live now from the un headquarters in new york. and james, it was a long and a wide ranging speech from biden, but front and center was a message for pu tim a message for put in, i think after responding directly to what we'd heard earlier in the day, which was effectively an escalation from russia and increased mobilization, increased call up of civilians who have military experience to fight for russia and that veiled threat. he's prepared to use everything they've got if, if necessary. and he said he wasn't bluffing. and of course, the, the fear is that that is a reference to using nuclear weapons. president biden, though invoking the un charter, the founding document of the united nations, which are set up 77 years ago saying that russia was breaching the very basic principle of the united nation set off at the end, the world war 2 that you don't invade another country and take that territory. he

said this war is about distinguishing ukraine's right to exist as a state and ukrainians. right? to exist as are people and the address, the 193 countries that in the chamber that should make your blood run cold. of course, he spoke about other things. he spoke about climate change. he spoke about global health. he gave a new figure of $2900000000.00 to try and help the global food crisis. of course, the global crisis itself is much worse because of the war in ukraine. so that is clearly something that's ukraine related. and also, i think again to try and appeal to the membership, the $193.00 countries of the us. he also said that the u. s. is going to actively try and reform the un system, particularly the security council that's been just 15 members with 5 permanent members to many complain of the victors of world war 2 when the un was set up. and now he's saying both the security council as

a whole is going to be expanded. if the u. s. gets its way and the u. s. now supports expanding the permanent members of the security council. that's something when he's trying to persuade the un general assembly of his views on the war and ukraine and say on ukraine's side is something that's going to win over some people . but it's worth saying that you don't get security council reform until all the 5 permanent members agree to that. and i think it's not likely that china and russia would agree to that right now. may not answer got reports of a prisoner swap between russia and ukraine. tell us more about that. while details are still a little sketchy and details are coming in. what i can tell you is that diplomatic sources tell me this has been work that's been underway for some considerable time . now the model in terms of the diplomatic model, how they've been doing the diplomacy is very similar to that grain deal. we saw earlier in the summer getting the grain out of ukraine and getting it to global

markets. the other side that deals not going so well, which is getting rush and grain and fertilizer out to global market rushes, complaining that no one's doing business with them. and i think there's a danger that that deal russia might say, well, we're not getting our side of it. we don't want it to continue. but that certainly is the model of the diplomacy of this prisoner swap, turkey and the un, i'm told by several diplomatic sources are the key players, i understand the prisoners. what is underway as we speak? so no one's really giving too many details because it's all very delicate. the only place details have been coming in from actually is saudi arabia announcement made on saudi tv that a prisoner what was underway. and that saudi was playing a major role in this. and that the crown prince, ma'am, had been salman had a major role. now diplomatic sources say yes, saudi is definitely in bold, saudi arabia, and they've been involved in transportation providing some of the plains. but i

think from most of the information i'm getting, the main drivers of this are turkey and the united nations will watch it very, very closely. as i say, i'm sure more details will emerge in the coming hours while things seem to be still underway on the ground. no one really wants to say too much publicly. i. okay. very interesting and days any worth keeping a close eye on. james, for the moment, thanks very much. biden's comments came in the wake of the national address from russian president vladimir putin on wednesday morning. a he called as we've been hearing for the mobilization of more trips and announced his support for referendums in ukrainian territories under russian control killers under has more from keith with battlefield losses. mounting an, a ukrainian counter offensive advancing russian president vladimir putin says now is the time to mobilize more troops, yet as a she to nationally, to protect all motherland its sovereignty and territorial integrity. to ensure the security of our nation and people in the liberated areas. i consider it necessary

to call for partial mobilization in russia. seaboard. the defense minister says as many as $300000.00 russian reservists will report for duty immediately, but more could be called up if necessary. gordon also confirmed that he would push ahead with a referendum in for regions of ukraine, including the don boss. the referendum will ask one question, do you want to join the russian federation? that referendum, often a precursor to full annexation of territory, could happen as early as this week. he might become president blue, demure zalinski, urged allies to focus on what is important for ukraine. tremulous, racial greekmore support for the armed forces for intelligent services, for the special operations and security service for the national guard police and the border guards for everyone who is gradually restoring a territorial integrity. western allies have said they will not recognize

a russian lead referendum or annexation of ukrainian territories. calling it illegal. some analysts call a referendum, a pre determined sham, and a desperate ploy by potent there is no free media to talk. and to talk her about the issue, there is no inflection observe as there is no fair counting, et cetera, et cetera. and even without talking about all illegality of the theme, because it's, and on the relation of ukrainian and international. but in his speech pu, left little doubt, he is ready to escalate this war. warriors, civilian russia has a variety of weapons of destruction. did he some more modern, those and nato countries as i shoot there. and if our territorial integrity is threatened, we will use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a love. it's unclear of moving more troops to the front lines and annexing ukrainian

territory will be enough to turn the tide in an operation that hasn't gone according to prudence plan. what is clear, who is this war is changing the land and potentially entering a new, even more dangerous phase. gabriel. as i know, al jazeera keith and they say t vianza sultan burg has warned that that a map hooton's announcement will further escalate the war. but he also said the move shows that russian troops struggling the speech and her portion mobilization, the armed forces, russia just demonstrate that her, he miscalculated, he made a big mistake, strategic mistake, and walk, not seen so far as that. so the russian troops are ill equipped, they lack a proper command on control, and they also have struggle a lot with logistics. but of course, more troops or will escalate the conflict to that will mean more suffering, more loss of lives. ukrainian lives,

but also russian lives. the russian opposition leader alexi nev only has condemned puritans call for military mobilization. he accuses the president of sending more russians to die and what no valley calls a criminal aggression. he spoke during a court hearing of the petition he filed against the prison he's being held in out of facility, refused to lets him create a trade union. and small protests, supposing, mercury mobilization have been held across russia. these pictures, so people being taken away by police in the western city of yak teran bag. a mangion group says more than a 109 people have been arrested. armenia is celebrating its independence day, a week of the worst fighting with as a by john in 2 years, any armenians or questing longstanding security ties with russia, saying a moscow led alliance failed to limit the conflict unless we can. so house us how speaker nancy pelosi in armenia, making her the senior most american politician to visit the country since his

independence to chang reports from your van. mother, armenia stands tall overlooking the capital yerevan. built in 1967 to replace a statue of stolen. she personifies the close ties of the former soviet republics bound by military might. but as all menia celebrates its 31st anniversary as an independent nation, it's moving out of the orbit of russia. since 2018 in the revolution that took place in republic square, the democratically elected government has more to the you and us for support. and while armenia still relies heavily on russia and security matters, it's a reliance that makes many armenians uncomfortable. you children, i'd interest russians. i don't know why, but i don't trust them because i feel they take the vision and turkey side continuously. i think relations with russia are in trouble now. and i think for me

is better to take your opinion of american position rather than stay linked with russia like the statue of lenin, the used to stand right at the center of republic square. most of the remnants of the soviet era have already been removed from the non linear. russia remains its main security ally, particularly on the contested border with as a bygone russian peacekeepers operate in the disputed, not gonna care about the region. and with an army near itself, although they failed to stop last week's board of fighting, the russian broken piece process however, is increasingly being seen as a hindrance. and after the war and ukraine, moscow is no longer viewed as an impartial allied. russia is a new challenge for armenia. the challenge is rooted in their role as an unpredictable friend, unreliable and unpredictable. hence armenia of necessity to pivot westward, just to seek more balance in the relationship. as the statue of mother armenia

watches over the 31st anniversary of independence, she may be looking to new horizons as the sun sets on alliances of armenian past. tony cheng al jazeera european, on a rare area of cooperation between washington and moscow, u. s. and russian astronauts have just blasted off into space as their 1st joint mission to the international space station since moscow invaded ukraine on board. the saw as capsule, our to russian cause north and, and nasa. astronaut trio flew from russia's bike nor cosmo jerome in kazakhstan. the do to spend 6 months at the station. cilla had here on out to sara soaring inflation and tuition fees for us college students to choose between eating or filling their car, cause fuel tank. ah

allegation basically comes down to, is that they would have other properties. and she said applies to most if not all of their properties, they would have them assessed by a professional. comes in and says, this building is worth this much. but then they would go to the banks to get loans, insurance companies, the premiums, and she says they would dramatically increase the what those buildings were actually worth. just give you one example, 40 wall street that's in manhattan. when an assessor came in, she says, the says her said it was worth 220000000 just that year. that year than when they went to the banks, the insurance companies, the trumpet, people allegedly said it was worth 530000000. that where he would get better interest was and lower premiums. here's what the new york attorney general had to say about that. this investigation revealed at donald trump engaged in years of illegal conduct to inflate his net worth to achieve, to deceive banks and the people of the great state in new york. claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal.

it's the art of the steel the out of the deal, reverend, that book that donald trump had ghost written, which made him quite famous. so the attorney general here cannot bring criminal charges, but she says she has forwarded all of this information to the jurisdiction that can and also importantly to the internal revenue service. so what she is looking for as terms of penalties, she says she wants to make sure that any of the people listed no longer can be on any sort of director positions in any new or companies with shutting them out of new york business. she wants to freeze on them being able to do any sort of real estate transactions, commercial real estate transactions in new york for 5 years. and this would be important as well. she wants to freeze them out from being able to do any business with new york banks for 5 years. basically, every bank has a presence in new york and she's also asking for them to return $250000000.00. that's what she says. they've profited from what she calls this illegal scheme. now
