moscow's ukraine, says people in russian controlled arrows are forced to vote in succession refund. ah, on the clock this is out 0 life and the holes are coming up. relatives grievers, at least 77 people die when their boat capsized. as of syria, they were flea england, lebanon's, economic crisis, thousands of govern supporters take to the streets in iran in count demonstrations after days of protests. if the death of a woman in police custody and independent investigation finds that social media, john matter sense and palestinian and arabic content during the 2021 garza war so ukrainian se on soldiers again, door to door to get people to vote on whether for occupied regions of eastern

southern ukraine should join russia. officials say some residents being threatened with punishment to fade out by referendums to taking place landscape the nets cause up regent castle that's about 15 percent to ukraine's territory. gives western allies have condemned the votes as a sham that appears to be a step towards russian annexation. carol is under reports now from keefe in the desk region of ukraine, a russian appointed election official tours, a polling station. this is one of 4 regents where people are voting to join the russian federation, the young broker law. 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 for sierra russia has always been our mother lead without since we had no one left, he crane abandoned us long ago. numbers from yeske, 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 fuming stories of workmen voting at 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 body, 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 boat violates the constitution or she live with us as a 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 per cent, 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, give a sense of how people on the ground of feeling about the referendum sal deserves

how to of the hm. it travel to the crane and controlled part of the dynette screeching in the east as a report from their pock roscoe close to the front line. it is difficult to get the full picture of how is this referendum that was only called for about 3 or 4 days ago. how in the, in that short span of time, they were able to put all of that together specially that is happening in 4 different regions in the south and the east of the country. now from what we understand and from the limited information we're getting in some areas like in his own, for example. and apparently, according to the governor of lugens, the ukrainian governor of lou ganske day, people are going around with these ballard boxes. 2 flats, 2 houses, telling people to vote. he says that there's also a lot of intimidation that whoever says no, then has his name registered in a different note book for further repercussion. so it seems that you know,

people are either staying at home because after all, this is a referendum that is happening in a war zone and the shelling is continuing or people simply don't want to vote that a few people who are left because you have to remember that by and large, the populations as civilians in those areas have fled because of the danger of being there because of the explosions because of the war. and many of us told us also because they did not want to live under russian occupation. now anyone i spoke to was coming out from those regions to me that they believed anyway that the result will be yes. i didn't believe that there would be a vote. they said that we haven't even heard about it. no one came to tell us, there were no preparations, nothing under ground. united states says it's prepared to impose more sanctions on roster of the criminal moves to annex policy ukraine. a white house correspondent can be health reports now from washington. d. c. the white house calling these

referendums, schanzer, and illegitimate. now it is the belief of the white house, according to white house press. secretary, korea, jean pierre, that these will be manipulated in terms of the results. as a result, the white house will not accept the outcome of these referendums and also they believe that they will very much be manipulated. now we can tell you that as a result, the white house has decided in consultation with allies to impose economic penalties . but the weight has not saying specifically what those penalties will be. we do know, however, that this comes on the heels of escalating rhetoric from vladimir putin, the russian president who has threatened to use nuclear weapons. and we, i also know that the white house has said at this time that it is not adjusting its nuclear posture. its own nuclear posture in response is foreign

policy chief also insisted that the referendums all not valid. i don't have to spend a lot of argument to convince everybody that this is a fake. what kind of a friend is data overnight? no, no previous discussion, no sensors in the middle of a wall, with thousands of people escape being certainly these for and i work with not nobody can recognize that. what can we do? we can do what we have been doing since the beginning, more of the same is totally continue supporting your grain with military capacity. the mobilization of army reserves is continuing across russia. president vladimir putin is looking to bolster his forces in ukraine in the far eastern region. novia katya and endorse stadium has been turned into

you're watching out 0 mind about top stories this hour, and ukrainians, reporting that armed soldiers have been going door to door, getting people to vote on whether for occupied regions of use. events of any crane should join russia, keeps as the votes are a sham and an unlawful land gra rusher is continuing his mobilization to reservists in the far eastern region of your katya and indoor stadium has been turned into receptions. and for those drafted at least $77.00 people tried to migrate to europe, have died off to that boat capsized off the coast of syria. rescues managed to save more than 20 microns, but many more. still, iran's military is warning that it will confront what he calls enemies is protest continue. the death of a 22 year old woman in police custody masa many died last week, ought to be arrested by the so called morality police for allegedly violating the countries headscarf laws. around state tv is reporting that at least $26.00 people have been killed during the unrest or credit government counter protests have also

been taking place across iran. the rallies the scene, it's a response to days of demonstrations for ring. i mean, he's death. the rainy government says they were spontaneous. the ceo of space, egg seal mask, says it will activated so satellite internet services, starling, in iran and soft. the u. s. government announced its easing export restrictions there to help improve internet access for protest isn't to try to hinder state surveillance to run has limited internet services as protests spread across the country. when jordan has more from washington d. c, the u. s. on 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 us and overseas to provide this sort of software these sorts of platforms and other

material to iranian citizens so that they can not only access the internet, but a 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 fortuitous that this announcement is coming right now in the days after the death of marsan, nini. 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. would you mind a soon as a technology analysts based in new york and explains why washington's move will be challenging? there is a tremendous amount of complexity and when you impose something like export controls. busy as the u. s. has done, you very much locked down a whole lot of things, whether those are what you intended to lock down or not. i think it's fascinating though that the us is now thing. we want to ease that. we want to try to allow the internet to be in the hands of the people and it's obvious why they would like to do that. and so i think the practical implication is something like star link, which involves satellites. of course that are up in the god, but also receivers on the ground. now you're starting to think about ok, things that might not have been possible before with the export controls now may be possible, and that's very much something that the u. s. government is going to want to encourage, you know, citizens to be able to get, get information at a time when there's certainly protesting with the government to do. it's like

a cat and mouse game. what you do is you ease the export control and say, i want to put the equipment in the hands of the citizen, say, a star link receiver or some other kinds of routers, or other internet equipment that was illegal before this to be exported by u. s. companies, but now it's legal now it may still be illegal in iran because they operate under a different set of laws obviously. so that's the cat and mouse game. and i would expect to see i ran start to try to counter those kinds of things and then the u. s . will counter the counter move so it, it very much ends up being a mouse game, whether any individual citizen is able to look at instagram on any given day or any given device. that's very much an open question. but clearly what we're trying to do here is fight a battle effectively over access to information to us would like for access to be more open. iran, at least at this point in time, would like for it to be more restricted. an independent audit of social media, john matter is found that its services, facebook and instagram home, the rights of palestinians for polt investigated messes humbly of content. during

the 2021, girls, war and notices found that facebook deleted more arabic posts, to the hebrew ones. it also restricted content with the half type. alexa, because it's the name of an own palestinian group, but it's also one of is lambs wholly a sites matter initially blamed a software malfunction. but later i did that there was human error last year and oversight board recommended to review off to face, but remove to post sharing and al jazeera story during the 2 week war digital rights group. pamela from that, from a 500 instances where content was taken down. 85 percent was removed by facebook and instagram, and many more posts were labeled, or the tech jaunt of sensitive last year. it's gram apologize for removing a picture of a passport belonging to the father of american palestinian supermodel. bella had deed that listed his birthplace as palestine, but elisa campbell is the former director of cybersecurity and emerging technology program at the middle east institute. and she says,

report shows that discrimination is systemic on messrs platforms is really just confirms findings that activists and journalists in and around palestine have been telling us for on, upwards of a decade at this point. and so in many ways, i think this is really just showing as what we already know, but it is validating to understand that this is something systemic. and i am excited by the idea that we're starting to consider some of the linguistic implications of discrimination on menace. platforms. mehta is incredibly non transparent about the nature of its content moderation system. this is the system of human and algorithmic actors that's responsible for flocking and deleting posts, the end up getting taken down. and we simply don't know enough about how they work to really know whether this was an intentional or unintentional, technically. but at what i would say, and what many palestinian activists and journalists of human rights groups have said repeatedly, you know, at some point, if you're making the active choice as meta is being such an enormous company with so many resources not to invest and really taking the seriously not just an arabic

language to systemically discriminated, and you know, translated in really poor ways over time and other languages as well. that shows where your priorities are. and that shows that you're intending to not take something seriously and attending not to make investments. and things that really impacts people's lives and safety. so to me that is intentional in some ways to italy, where the final campaign riley's have been held ahead of sundays general election for what prime minister you said you can take, spoke to a large crowded room. but you post just won't come out on top. predictions just to fall right. coalition will, when one of the 1st priorities for the new governments will be rising energy prices . stephanie tech reports not from naples, where the cost of living has become much more expensive. it's a routine and a recipe that has been handed down to generations. continuity has guaranteed success. but decades of hard work, i now at risk your low futrell quantity. i been

a baker for 40 years. the situation as it is they are never been so bad with the gas and electricity bills, increasing the cost of raw material. becker in the series of risk of collapsing, we are sounding the lar, if there is no bread on the table. so battalions, there is a risk about revolution. i energy prices of sort this time last year. this was dominique was bill no electric, and now this was an increase of around 600 per cent. i think to be easy. economists say it's unsustainable. a lot of ally darya was throwing barrels prettily. this coming winter will be the toughest yet the storm of the energy crisis or hit us at the end of 2021. and then with the war with ukraine, things have become far more complicated. italy is worse off than other e u countries as we rely more on imported energy and meaning it is more vulnerable to the fluctuations of the gas and electricity markets. i wonder why misha? ah, and yet somehow, while walking around,

you don't feel how bad things are. the streets here in the city center of naples are busy tourism is booming. it's very difficult to find a hotel room, but this isn't indicative of the real economic crisis that is unfolding here, affecting small family run businesses which make up around 90 percent of companies here in italy. which basically means it's affecting everyone at the morning market . the answer is the same, just like i said, the gear, tamara vancleve, we're all in this crisis together. we need at least $200.00 euro's a week to buy food, and that's just the basics. there's no room for any extras here on java, so i don't make it at the end of the month, everything has increased to gas light, everything is all right, and my pension doesn't increase loving field. we ask her if she thinks the elections will change anything in the wrong arrival door? no, i won't go to holland yet. i'm telling you straight up like an apology. i will have her get selected. it's so the same mass for now the bread continues to rise as do

the bills. you all are not a problem. our worries, the blue chair with political call or come to power with the selection. the problem will not be fixer. so people's anger, we bowler. opinion polls suggest a far right wing coalition could when sundays, vote with italy's 1st female prime minister, whatever the political predictions, the economic forecast is a. this is only going to get worse and for whoever wins these elections. that may have been the easy part. stephanie decker, al jazeera naples, a group of fishermen in senegal is launch your legal charge to try and shut down a fish bill factory local trade. and so the factory is destroying the environment and robbing them of the livelihood. is the story of one of those for solace in her own words, while magnum a song and went to my name is matching dell, i represent women's fish sellers in care. and i want to see the fish mill factories

hail to shut down immediate air. criminal fish meal is food for animals. fish are being keeled, processed to from flower that is used to feed animals, not hair, but mostly in the west. a furry now bought some land to build a factory. he bought machine and stop buying fish to make fish meal man i wanted in the process toxic chemicals being used. the contaminated water is evacuated, close to a water source, and we drink this water. these factories kidding us. since it started production, we have been suffering from day. every oldest children of coughing, adults are getting sick and suffering from asthma. it's polluting a life man, i'm fact a result. so destroying the environment, why it's persisting juvenile fish to make the flower catching. your fish means there is less than the ocean for us. it takes 5 killers of fish to make one killer

fish meal. ramo, liberated, disgusting. i am angry. i'm losing my income, and i'm not the only one. look, we were many, 325 women sitting in this market, and only 76. i left me more time with them. but we used to send the seizure cross west africa to go beneath even lego and it at a low cost. but now we have nothing because the fishermen sell the couch to the factory. note to us little the mill valley of justice of it. we want justice. we want disputing factories to stub their work. it's destroying the ocean. 8 will make life even harder for future generations. look, running out of the indian film industry produces nearly 2000 movies a year in several languages. but an overwhelming majority of recent releases have bombed at the box office. so produces a, taking

a novel approach to attract people back to the cinema as poverty, motel reports, not from you, day movie go us are in for a treat. it's national cinema dane, india, ticket prices have been slashed to less than a dollar. many shows a thought out, probably i got this be a good read and us giving hopkins and bessie for free. so it's really nice that i don't know how to put them on the way that i'd like to spend so much amanda. my need to actually go answered in here, does the water in the cinema often called body wood, is in crisis. one estimates suggest 90 percent of films released in the past 4 months, have bombed at the box office. good. luckily shes legally, 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 in just soft 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 are you still there, stable fed, of in the movies are now watching movies and domain that are going by the album are watching french and spanish shows and films. and therefore, there is a certain broadening mouthpiece that has happened and certain movies which were made in a pre pandemic scenario for a certain type of audience that audiences change now. yeah, this chart topping song and recently married couple created a buzzer.
