nuclear threats. least in ukraine. many of the people living in the regions where the referendum will be held of already flat and making their way west hold on the honey spoke to some of them and appreciate escaping russia. occupation before it becomes nearly impossible that lana and her daughter carina just arrived from the sun regions. hours before a referendum, organized by russia, is used to take place in it and proceed. about 70 percent of people, jobless, we were 5 months without any mobile connection. the food is coming from crimea and we have to pen roubles. they have been telling us that our hometown is part of russia, and it was liberated from ukraine, carrying this has been had to stay behind because men of fighting age aren't allowed to leave. that's why it took only see and his family for days to travel from low hands to the ukrainian control part of the procedure. despite the permit

issued by the separatists, his wife gulard tells me she was worried. he would be mobilized. whitney middle school short, alexi says russia's referendum is a sham, and now is the time to choose sides. are you susie gharib bloom? there are people who are going to vote. there are people who really believe a flu, hence, joins russia. life will become better and they will be happier. i'm surprised because most of them work for ukrainian companies and they owned a good living. now they have nothing but the supporting russia. people still living in jeopardy jack had a son and a dumbass will be asked if they want to join russia. russia doesn't fully control any of the 4 regions with this. so called referendum is taking place in the areas under ukrainian control. come on the regular attack, day and night. this is the latest one in the heart of the city. one of the several

that rocked the procedure early morning. the target was a hotel, said to host this place people on their way further west people like tanya and julia who made their journey together for milly toppled. it's painful. her parents stayed back home. part of an older generation nostalgic about the soviet union. eula shows as a video where she was taunted by collaborators and russian soldiers forced to praise the russian motherland and sing the national anthem. who would you be looking at? if i kept my children at home at school, there was too much pressure on them. they would get punished if they spoke ukrainian. i'm afraid i won't be able to return home after the referendum. there will be special permits for people to get in and out of there. no, any doubts the outcome of the referendum devote has already been discarded by ukraine and its allies, that russia will use it to stretch its borders closer to western ukraine. put up

the honey as it is that putting jeff out to understand the potential impacts of these votes. it helps to take a look at a map of ukraine. now this is it in 2014. before the conflict began, later that year, russian forces invaded and then annex the crimean peninsula, and pro russian find says, began seizing territory in the east declaring republics unoccupied regions of done yet, sc and landscape. since the invasion in february, this year rushes expanded its control. and now the 2 self declared republics as well as moscow banks administrations in have son of patricia. they want the whole votes. and what does that become part of russia. cut rocha is the former us special representative for ukraine negotiations. he says the outcome of the referendum won't change ukraine's determination to reclaim more territory. this is all

a sham. it's all a charade. being orchestrated by couldn't to have a referendum. everyone knows this fake to then say that they become part of russia . whichever one knows they're not. so i don't think it has any impact on the ground whatsoever, and won't change ukraine's determination to recover capture territories, nor will change the determination in the west to try to help you claim, defend itself against this version, aggression. if russia wanted to use nuclear weapons, they could use them today, and they're not doing it because they know it would be a bad idea. and so, even if they claim that these territories are now part of russian territory, it doesn't change the basic calculation that using nuclear weapons will mean the destruction of the russian military and possibly the russian state. and they don't want to reset. he's lost so many forces already. you know, the estimates are anywhere from 224-0000 casualties. ukraine's claim 55000 caching

or deaths, but i think there may be high, even suppose it's 40000, multiply times 3 to get the number wounded. you're talking about a substantial piece of rushes. conventional military forces that have been destroyed in your grain equipment, along with the personnel has also been destroyed. so what good is doing is you're going to the general population getting retired military people, people who are older, out of shape, not trained, saying come back into the military. this is not going to add a substantial capacity group. she's military forces. it's a matter of desperation because he has lost so much already. japanese prime minister for me. ok. she is blaming rushes. invasion of ukraine for accelerating plans to expand naturally, spending christian salumi reports from new york. when she was speaking, japan's prime minister pointed to russia's invasion of ukraine and the united

nations inability to respond as reasons for reforming the security council. and also as a reason for doubling his own country's defense budget prime minister through me. ok, shita speaking on the side minds of the general assembly, said russia had put the integrity of the un at risk in wielding it's vito to stifle consensus over japan who takes one of the rotating seats on the council in january has long been an advocate of security council reform this year, the u. s. showed some support for expanding the number of seats on the council, cuz she also cited russia's actions as the reason for the increase in military spending. good. i know she yet go witnessing rushes aggression in ukraine. i myself have a strong sense of crisis that ukraine today may be east asia to morrow, or our basic position is not to pursue confrontation and seek the establishment of a stable international order through dialogue. however, at the same time, we must be prepared. the prime minister was also asked if japan would join the

united states and deploying forces to taiwan. should china invade? the prime minister said that he would not prejudge his country's actions, but his mission was to defend the livelihood of his people. the u. s. has an allen sanctions on several members of iran, so called morality police follows the death of my son. i mean, he who died last week after being arrested for allegedly not complying with the countries headscarf regulations. the forces accused by the u. s. of abuse and violence against iranian women and of violating the rights for protest. those placed under the sanctions include the head of the morality, police as well as commanders of the armies ground forces and rounds limits of intelligence. while protests are continuing in iran over mass. i mean, the death iranian presidents is called the demonstration acts of kale. but i have ordered an investigation into,

i mean is death. at least 9 people have died during the unrest. study, missouri. how hast they have always been protested me, hear their demands. but there's a difference between riot and protests. nobody except riots to have a demonstration against policy or anything else. in random, we have freedom of speech return receipt on different levels of differences of opinion. that's not a problem at all, but when there is a riot, different than a protest, i mean, if you are a see, made the comments during a wide ranging press conference in new york militia with their for quite a while for the radium presidents are just one of the main concerns or issues with regards to run country and that is the nation wide protests that have been spreading across the country over the past couple of days following the killing or the death of that young running girl or allegedly at the hands of the morality police there as the president says,

he said that it was still not clear as far as the investigations with going on, whether she did die at the hands of both morality police did, however, say that he contacted her family. he said that there was a rights for iranians to protest, but he differentiates between what he described as peaceful protest vandalism. however, he fell short of talking about what type of accountability would happen. he said that there was a need for the judicial process to take its due course before. anything could happen that aside, the other main issue of discussion or draft by the reading president was the nuclear deal, the j. c. p. o and any hope that it could be revived, the firm on that one spawns, with regard to guarantees needed from any new deal that the united states would not renee on its commitments, as he says it's had done in the previous deals. there was no discussion, however,

or address about the situation in syria accountability for obviously the war time is committed thereby around to ally the regime or other topic they're a palestinian man has been shot dead vine off duty is re the police officer after a suspected stabbing at an intersection in central israel, it happened near these re the city of more dean on the major highway israeli police claim. the attacker approached the number of vehicles sprang, tear gas at people, and trying to open car doors. at least 34 migrants have died after their boat capsized off serious coast syrian authority. se 14 people have been rescued. most of those on board. busy whatever nice syrians and palestinians are also among, with that the said i had an al jazeera, a bad idea what the real world is like the u. k. new

from the careers point of view, they are always enraged by these exercises. they have been scaled back during the last few years to allow all of this summit diplomacy to take place to try to get the north korea to give up that nuclear arms. clearly, they haven't done that and the north koreans probably view exercises like this. and in that view, that cements that position. they need to hold on to that much pressure, nuclear weapons at all costs as a guarantee of that survival in what they see as a hostile world. all right, thanks so much, rob mcbride there. the british government is poised to announce a huge package of economic measures, meant to stimulate growth and either deepening cost of living crisis. it'll involve huge tax cuts and billions of dollars of spending, but everyone's convinced it'll work. the more need fall could travel to graves and a town that's hoping to reverse years of economic stagflation were only 30 kilometers down river from london's financial district. but little of the capital's

they don't have power, that they've been without power since sunday, some of them since since monday. and the common theme that we keep hearing from folks here in puerto rico is how could a category one storm that didn't topple power lines that didn't cause widespread infrastructure damage lead to an island wide blackout. now we have reached out to luma, that's the power company here in puerto rico for an interview, for a statement we have yet to hear back from them. but what we are hearing overwhelmingly from residence all across the island, is that it's a combination of poor management by the power company and in the antiquated power grid that's led to the situation. and unfortunately, there is no promise that the power is going to be restored to everyone on the island anytime soon. authorities in bangladesh say straight ammunition from fighting indian mara landing inside its territory. at least one person has been killed and several injured after they were caught in the crossfire between me and laws, military and finds, as opposed to the john 200 chandry reports from the me and my bangladesh border
