bilateral negotiations, we've been holding that so many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king. we'll take in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah, ah. ah.

in moscow bank, separate to city and ukraine to hold a referendum on joining russia. key advantage allies call the vote sham. ah me say dan, this is al, just they're alive from the hall. so coming off the us that cross carry a ronald reagan docs in south korea for the biggest joint military drill since 2017 . we report from nigeria, nova gower, state where the villages are being wiped out in the was loving. in that case, politicians idea of what we don't as like the u. k. new government prepared to unveil emergency budget to help an economy hard hit by inflation and energy costs. in the coming hours, moscow bank separatists in ukraine will hold votes on joining russia. balancing

will take place in full separate regions held by russian forces in the south and east haven. it's west and allies say, for a sham come off. the russian forces suffered significant battlefield losses in ukraine's recent counter offensive. well, since then, president vladimir hooton's announcement that $300000.00 new troops will be mobilized, sparking protests across russia. hundreds of people have been detained in dozens of cities. traffic has surged that land borders and almost all flights out of moscow appear to be fully books. people attempt to leave the country to understand the potential impacts of the referendum in eastern southern ukraine. it helps to take a look at the map of the region. this is what it was in 2014, before the conflict began. later that year, russian forces invaded and then annex the crime in peninsula and pro russian finds it began seizing territory the decline republics and occupied regions of done yes

and landscape. since the invasion in february rushes expanded its control further. now the 2 south declared republics as well as moscow back dead ministrations and have sun is parisha one to whole votes and whether it become part of russia, what that means has more escaping russia occupation before it becomes nearly impossible. vit lana and her daughter carina. just arrived from the sun regions, hours before a referendum, organized by russia is due to take place in the process of 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 positive, russia and it was liberated from ukraine, carrying us husband 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 day to travel from no hands to do ukrainian control parton's a pretty ger, despite a permit issued by the separatists. his wife gulard tells me she was worried. he would be mobilized. alexi says russia referendum is a sham and now is the time to to side. there are people who are going to vote. there are people who really believe a flu, hence, joined russia. life will become better and there will be happier. i'm surprised because most of them work for you, cranium 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 give, give people could have 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 one here 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. but of the hemi elder, 0 zeppelin john the u. s. secretary of state is urging the un security council to send a clear message to russia over its invasion of ukraine. and it's thinly veiled threats to use nuclear weapons. antony blink and describe moscow's languages. reckless sang, it must stop. adam fisher reports. there have been security council meetings and ukraine before, but this is by far the highest level meeting since the war began. only woman the other. the latest developments are dangerous and disturbing. they are further steps away from any prospect of peace and towards an endless cycle of horror and bloodshed. as a permanent member of the council, russia has previously b to it any efforts to denounce its attack in ukraine. and in reality, ext, there's little the council can do to stop the fighting. one man chose this war. one

man can end it. because if russia stops fighting, the war ends. if you crane stops fighting, ukraine ends. russian foreign minister said guy lover of only appeared in the chamber just moments before his tongue to speak. he insisted what the russians call the special military operation was inevitable after the 2014 revolution in ukraine is what it allows them. certainly put those news. there is an attempt to day to impose on us a completely different narrative about russian aggression as the origin of the tragedy. this ignores the fact that for over 8 years, ukrainian army and fighters from the nationalist groups killed and continue to kill inhabitants of done boss with impunity, simply because they refused to recognize the result of the crew to tom was in key if, when he finished his remarks, the russian diplomat left something the british did not ignore his left the chamber

. i'm not surprised, i don't think mister leverage wants to hear the collective condemnation of this counsel and ukraine's foreign minister didn't let the moment pass either. i also noted to day that russian diplomats flee almost as aptly as russian soldiers. he called for peace, he called for support. and he had this warning for russia yesterday, put in announced mobilization. but what he really announced before the whole world was his defeat. you can draft 30500000 people, but he will never win this war. the meeting with call to discuss alleged abuses and atrocities and ukraine. the international criminal court announced its own investigation in march, and the chief prosecutor told the counsel that well, no one has been charged yet. there is growing evidence that war crimes have been committed. alan fisher, i'll just say that at the united nations in new york,

the nuclear power, their cross carry a ronald reagan as arrived in the south korean pulled to resign the head of a joint military exercise. the naval drills will be the 1st evolving us at cross carrier in the region since 2017. washington and sol have revived the large scale drills over growing north korean threats from mcbride is a bold the carrier where on the flight deck of the ronald reagan here, it's a limits class aircraft carrier. we just had a press briefing from the naval commanders of this strike group. they will be conducting joint drills with south korean counterparts in the coming days. and it is with a view stated mission of showing the resolve of these allies in the face of renewed north korean threats. and the last time this aircraft carry away with here was 5 years ago that again was at a time of heightened tension. it followed to a number of missile launches and also a nuclear test by north korea. so this is

a way of showing the strength of the alliance in the face of what's and what the us and south korea say. all these increased threats from north korea, from the careers point of view, they are always enraged by these exercises. they have been scaled back through the last few years to allow all of this summit diplomacy to take place to try to get the north korea to give up the nuclear arms. clearly, they haven't done that, and the north koreans probably view exercises like this. and in their view, that cements that position. they need to hold on to their much pressure, nuclear weapons at all costs, as a guarantee of that's the bible, and what they see as a hostile world. protest is in molly one, the un peacekeeping mission to leave the country. marlene authorities expelled the head of the un mission in july, following a different route over the arrest of soldiers from ivory coast pace. cases have been in molly since 2013 nigeria is battling it's worth
