russian federation, the young program or so it's young. we grant the right to vote to all citizens of the donita people's republic as well as abroad. becky is the you in a nearby park. people under the watchful eye of the russian state, say they welcome the referendum garcia. russia has always been a mother less. without it, we had no one left. you crane abandoned us long ago. languishing, yes, you must have us. there no international election monitors, only those invited by russia media have been tightly controlled. many western analysts say it's nothing more than an exercise by the kremlin to shape how people think about russian occupied parts of ukraine. look, this is no referendum. this is no expression of will do, but at the same time they will to say face meaning getting observers meaning, filming stories of work when voting of pulling stations, the protocols being written and so on. this is kind of an invitational democracy

bottle where pictures are important goodness. in some areas, russian installed officials said they would be going door to door with police to invite residents to vote. critic say it's clear intimidation. under international law, it is illegal to hold referendums during conflict and where people are under threat . most countries, as well as international bodies, such as the european union and united nations, have said they won't recognize the results. the head of ukraine's election commission has told us the vote violates the institution or, or she lived there for a little whip. there are no legal mechanics in the ukranian constitution to give up territories. this is completely unconstitutional under martial law that we live under. now, it is prohibited by ukrainian laws to organize any referendum on our lands. in 2014, russia held a referendum in crimea,

in which it alleged 96 percent to the people voted to join the federation. 5 days later, the annexation of crimea was signed into law. it now appears that same process is happening again. but in a much larger area, in the middle of a war, and with more at stake for both ukraine and russia. gabriel, as hondo al jazeera keith and the white house is reacted to those votes that are taking place in the occupy parts of ukraine, saying that it's prepared to impose additional economic sanctions along with its allies on russia. if it and it moves, saw it with annexation. obviously these are at votes taking place and death. really, the international committees already made it very clear that it's not going to recognize the result of this vote. and also the white house saying that it has information sharing that russian officials assessing targets for vote aton out

. so bringing more reaction from washington or nato has already said that it's not gonna recognize the results of this vote in the occupied parts of ukraine. it's going to ram, pump it support for keith alliances called on all member states to reject what it calls a blatant attempt to territorial conquest. german politicians are also discussing a plan to step up support step master ports. now from berlin. a sham and evaluation of the un charter is what nato calls the referendums on annexing for russian occupied regions of ukraine, describing it as a sign of weakness after losses on the battlefield. nato says it will ignore the outcome and continue to give you great military support. but we should do. we should get all the countries together that happen, for instance, that leopard tank and see that we join forces train together,

sent leopards together to ukraine, which they need right now. if they want to succeed in re conquering the territory that russia has under occupation so far, the german government has been, we'd like to do some battle. thanks. feeling that president flag may put in would consider a provocation. but analysts say these referendums show that nato has not managed to deter, put in from amex in regents in isa, ukraine, covering an area the size of portugal. would you call it a failure by nato? on the one hand, yes. on the other hand, you could also say that nato has been successful in avoiding a russia natal war, which has always been one of nato's major aims. so i would say it depends on your perspective. for ukraine,

it makes the situation more difficult. his refugees continued to arrive in germany . hannah and her son came from supple isha. one of the regents weight of old is being held in spite of fears, fighting as things this is the biggest mistake and it shouldn't be a toll on my territory where you're craning and we don't need to rush people at all on my country. we are very angry and we don't understand why another world can be a little aggressive to russia. think they doing? not enough? yes. not to know what 1000000 ukrainian refugees have arrived in germany and european governments. our theory for more to come as the war escalate. and russia mobilizes hundreds of thousands of surface, not only ukrainians, but also russian are expected to come. now, germany says that those who used to 5 can apply for asylum. a fight with no end in

sight. these people don't know if it will be weeks, months or years before they can go home, steadfast and al jazeera, berlin, or an investigation by the united nations is found evidence of more war crimes committed in territories. i'll keep my russian forces in ukraine. investigators visited 27 towns as well as graves and detention centers in care of journey, have harkey and sumi. they say the evidence points to violations, including rape, torture, and confinement of children. they base their findings on interviews with a $150.00 victims and witnesses. the investigation of those court heroes showed a large number of board crimes. private russians can be formed 2 incidents of the treatment farther ukrainian showing that since there are 4 tri mom,

not only the russian but also one of the ukrainian side. but of course, according to what we find much less only 2 cases. so for the mobilization of reservices continuing across russia as president putin looks to bolster is forces in ukraine. the far east and region of yah, katia, an indoor stadium has been turned into a collection center for draftees. put an announced on wednesday that $300000.00 reservists would be drafted after a successful counter offensive from ukrainian forces this month. russian men have been filling out paperwork and saying my goodbyes, family members, newsweek also new lawyers, google, i didn't expect to. so i went to the kindergarten with my daughter and they gave me the core of up paper in the street. i came here at once on fine clipping, come, or what be your wife, the long hopefully. somewhat desirable. it has a crying as the most difficult thing is to say good bye to the kurds. more grand

national guard doth, more, of course, are ready to protect the motherland, but not now was not this time for sure. tomorrow is not my war. when is the war of russians and ukrainian not my the roost? aboard, a traffic ausa, russia is continuing to intensify. as many people rush to leave the country, a long line of vehicles was seen on a highway leading to rushes, bordered with kazakhstan on friday. forties. there say the number of arrivals from neighboring russia is increased since moscow announced its conscription drive for the war in ukraine. order officials in finland are saying it's se, and board with russia also remains busy, but finish government has announced it will significantly restrict the entry of russian citizens ah, all now to lebanon, the transport minister sang at least $76.00 migrants have died after the boat. they were traveling and capsized off the coast of syria. 20 people were rescued,

and few survivors were brought home. 8 not all were lebanese, some were palestinian and syrian refugees, but all shared the same story. one of poverty and desperation. a hell of a 2nd number that law if i get the chance i will leave if there is a boat here right now, i will get on it with my 2 children. and i do one other when a lebanon's economy began to spiral 3 years ago. the political elite blame for decades of mismanagement and corruption have still not agreed on a recovery plan. in anguish alvarado with poverty is what pushed we sam to sell a property and his house to go on the boat. and then he lost his wife and children . our government doesn't care about the people at their living conditions. oh, just a few months ago, a migrant boat sank while being pursued by the lebanese navy. dozens of people drowned. many of them are still missing. what the hell is, then you have

a great girl with some wrist, everything knowing that there was a 70 percent chance the boat would sink. that's how desperate he was. so many of those who attempt the journey or from the impoverished north, which has been neglected by successive governments. despite the dangerous migrants continued to leave from the shores of northern lebanon, the united nation says the number of people who departed or tried to has nearly tripled since 2020. it says so far this year. the number is nearly 3500. but security sources tell us that's a conservative estimate and it's no longer just young people. whole families are trying to escape. what many here say is a hopeless situation center for their al jazeera, northern lebanon. at least 7 people have been killed in a blast there mosque in afghanistan's capital cobble. several others were injured. it had took place, and it was here at one corner of the area formerly home to the city's green zone,

like the location of many foreign embassies. but it's now controlled by a taliban explosion happened as worshippers were leaving afternoon prayers on friday. the latest in a series of attacks targeting mos in recent months, some of which have been claimed by i sell, watching al jazeera ally from london to lead foil on the program. a pound plunges after the u. k. gunman gambles, sweeping tax cuts, rescue the economy from recession and hong kong scraps. it's pandemic hotel quarantine policy more than 2 and a half years after it came into effects. ah hello there. let's have a look at the weather across europe and things have turned cooler and west. we are

likely to see some areas of heavy rain over the weekend, particularly in the south and in east. and that thought through a cold front worked its way down from the north. thanks to some northerly lustily wins that have brought temperatures down for the likes of london and paris. so the heavy rain on saturday will be concentrated in northern areas of a city, places that for drought just a few months ago, we'll now see some heavy rain and we could see flooding here. now that weather weather does shift its way further east. behind it. however, we have got some heavy rain for northern areas of paris. it's been wet and wendy for the zone islands, but gaston starts to work its way west out to sea. now western areas of russia are also seen the wet weather. however, that does the ease as we go into sunday, it's going to push east that system, bringing some wintery weather to the likes of the alps will be wet around the, a drastic sea. and also in more southern areas of italy farther north, some more rounds of rain rolling into the north west of the u. k. britain,

an island to see scattered thunderstorms is going to be scattered as well. that rain in spain, madrid, seeing the temperature tip down. it's going to be cooler. ah, ah, a with ah ah,

ah, welcome by name story. so following now for moscow controlled regions in easton, in southern ukraine of started voting on whether to become part of russia, explaining an official say, some residents have been threatened with punishment if they don't vote. meanwhile, in russia itself, moore's office had been gathering on the cushions, mobilization, or dep, all the military men continue to flee. the country though with the audit crossing, seen heavy traffic and lebanon's transport. when is to says at least $76.00 migrants have died off to the boat. they were traveling in capsized off the coast of syria. many people are still missing. survivors say the boat, f tripoli, northern lebanon, on tuesday, bound for europe. now iran's army is wanting that it will confront what it calls enemies as protest continue over the death of the 22 year old women in police

custody protested was seen confronting riot police and throwing objects in the city of amal on friday, wide spread protest. most serious challenge ron's leadership has face for some years to our on his report at east 26 death during the unrest. demonstration started last friday when mass armine died, following her arrest of failing to adhere to the head scarf for her job rules. present. abram racy has ordered an investigation into this, but he also called these demonstrations acts of chaos. now several pro government demonstrations of also been taking place in iran, including in the capital these stay organized. march is seen as a response to the last few days of protests around the country. some of those marching called for the execution of protested branding them. israel soldiers. well now the united states is saying that's going to ease export restrictions to iran to improve public internet access and help people avoid state surveillance. ron's government has significantly caught internet services as protests in the

country spread. let's get one out from rosalind jordan in washington. it, of course, internet access and communication on social media is critical to the ability of protest is to organize themselves. that's right, and certainly if people aren't able to access the internet, they can't take advantage of those of services. but the u. assad government has announced that it is going to try to make it easier for iranians to do just that by imposing what they're calling a general license to make it possible for tech companies based both here in the u. s. and overseas to provide this sort of software, these sorts of platforms and other material to iranian citizen, so that they can not only access the internet, but of tried to do so without being detected by the iranian authorities. this is everything from cloud based platforms, to social media platforms,

to virtual private networks, or v p and all of this sort of technology that has really developed in recent years . the u. s. is allowing these companies to make this kind of, of equipment and software available without running the risk of being sanctioned by the us treasury department. now it's for to what is that this announcement is coming right now in the days after the death of mos on meaning. but u. s. officials have told reporters that they were working on this policy with tech companies for the past us several months, really trying to get a sense of what was available, what could be provided, and what things needed to be put into place in order to make it possible for these tech companies to provide these services to iranian citizens. now you remember back in 2009 a during the green revolution, the platform twitter wanted to was go offline over a weekend for

a software updates and programming updates. and at that time, the us state department put a request to twitter, urging them to basically stay online because that was the way that iranians protesting against the govern, were able to get their message out to the world. so it's fair to say, this is of illusion about palsy, back in 2009. all right, thanks very much from washington. rosalind jordan on that story. or here the british found a song to a new 37 year low against the dollar after the u. k government announced emergency plan to rescue the economy from recession so called mini budget, which include sweeping tax cuts, also sparked a sell off in government bonds, brochures, stocks hit 6 month flows as the pound slid to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 falling below $1.10, the chancellor quasi quite tang said the basic rate of income tax will be cut by

one percentage point. top rate of income tax for people any more than $168000.00 a year will be scrapped altogether. or if it has more, a government called this a fiscal event as opposed to a budget, which means that it didn't require the kind of independent analysis and to what it would do to public finances. but it might otherwise have needed. but whatever you call it, this is a massive change to the regular way of doing business. when it comes to fiscal and economic policy, the government says that is what's required. old orthodoxies need to be challenged in order to stimulate growth. that is how we will deliver higher wages, greater opportunities. and crucially, mister speaker fund public services. yeah. now and into the future. that is how we will compete successfully with dynamic economies around the world. and that is how mister speaker, we will term this vicious cycle of stagnation into a voucher cycle of growth just over 2 weeks in office. and this new government is making pledges on spending and taxation and borrowing on

a historic scale. the chancellor said that the already announced assistance for household energy bills would cost in the region of $66000000000.00 us dollars. but that is just an estimate. and it's just for the 1st 6 months, there are many analyses that suggest over time, it could go north of a $100000000000.00. as for the new taxation announcements, they're going to cost some $50000000000.00 us dollars and they'll be heavily weighted in favor of the highest earnest. b basic rate of contacts will come down by a percentage point. the top rate for those earning more than a $168000.00 us dollars a year. that is to go entirely. the prime minister, his trust says she's not overly worried about redistributing wealth. she's worried about growing the economy, the target 2.5 percent a year up from the current negative 0 point one percent. the opposition labor party says at the plans aren't fair and they won't work. but so achieve that sort of role . i'm for that sort of growth to be sustainable in need a credible plan. and the truth is that this government does not have one the prime

minister and chancellor. i like to desperate gamblers in a casino, a losing run, all of this to be paid for by government borrowing at a time when government borrowing is getting only more expensive. and the bank of england says it could also stimulate inflationary pressure. but it's been trying to fight through interest rate rises, so as a potential for a tug of war between the central bank and the government. the orthodox economists that the chancellor has been so publicly calling out, also striking back one former banker, england policy chief was saying this could end in tears as could m. and a run on the pound that hasn't been seen since the 19 seventy's. and indeed, the pound has dipped significantly since the chancellor spoke inside the house of commons. a government has been elected by a few tens of thousands of conservative party members is making very big changes to the way economic policy works in this country. the stakes are extremely high at the european commission is warned to italy of consequences, shit,

the country. they're away from democratic principles. as seen on the line with being at prince university in the united states. she says the you has the tools to deal with a slave things, kona difficult direction, italians go to the polls on sunday with a white wing leaning block led by georgia maloney expected to when the you introduce financial sanctions 2 years ago to cut funds to member countries deemed to be violating the rule of law. democracy is a, a constant work in progress where never done, it's never safe. it's never, you know, you put it in a box and you keep it. but it's the question, how people, santa fe democracy will see the outcome of the election. we have just election from sweden to my approach is um that whatever democratic government is willing to work with us, we're working together. a chinese man has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for

his role in an attack on a female dinars. in the city of tang sion, janet gigi and 4 other defendants were found guilty of violently assaulting women at a restaurant in june. after one woman rejected his advances, a court also sentenced $27.00. other defendants to prison terms ranging from 6 months to 11 years for their involvement case bought widespread anger over violence against women in china. more than 2 and a half years after it 1st came into effect, hong kong government is an outs. going to scrap it, covered hotel quarantine policy for all people arriving in the territory system will. and on monday, travelers will be instead asked to monitor themselves for symptoms for 3 days after entering and pre flight p. c r test will be replaced by a rapid antigen test. aside from mainland china, hong kong has been a global outlier and imposing hotel quarantine for international arrivals. now, indian film industries produce nearly 2000 movies each year,

more than any other country, but a biggest and best known of them. bollywood is struggling to fill theaters in 201939 percent of bollywood films were considered a financial failures according to industry data than the pandemic hit. that number is nearly doubled this year with 77 percent of bollywood films flopping at the box office. bollywood revenue in the july to september quarter is expected to be 45 percent lower than pre coven levels. part of poverty meant our reports from new delhi moviegoers are in for a treat. it's national cinema dane, india, ticket prices have been slashed to less than a dollar. many shows or so it out properly. i got this a good read and then giving what funds and bessie properly. so it's really nice that i don't have to put them on the way that i'd like to spend so much amount of money to actually go answered in here. does the water in the cinema often called bollywood is in crisis. one estimate suggest 90 percent of films released in the

past 4 months have bombed at the box office, which locally schwarzenegger this thing, but laughing gentile was one of the most anticipated movies of the year adapted from forrest gump it. stars, one of india's most popular stars, armor con, poor attendance, forced theatres to cancel. hundreds of shows. in the cinema is a multi $1000000000.00 industry, and one of india soc powers. it struggles a part of a global phenomenon. the pandemic has changed how and where we watch movies. many people are also cutting back on entertainment expenses because of inflation. meanwhile, streaming sites have enjoyed an increase in subscribers. there's also a growing competition from regional and global cinema. so those people who were used to bess peebles fed up in the movies are now watching movies and domain that are going well. yeah, them are watching french and spanish shows and phones. and therefore that is a certainly broadening off piece that has happened. and certain movies which will

meet in a pre binding scenario for a certain type of audience that audiences change. no good. this chart topping song and recently married couple created a buzz around per master. the super hero fill is rooted in indian my thought a g. it open to mix reviews, but back to us from us. so what happened is they are wisconsin spectacle and there was origin story kind of thing. and, you know, i think a lot of children were very interested in, you know, the, the coolness of a, b, c, marvel, or dc universe where there was a lot of special effects and all that kind of stuff. so there are different curiosity about the what we produce as a filmmaker's need to take creative risks. several big budget firms are releasing soon. the industry hope these will return some of the shy.
