secondly, hans republics in the east and ponts of her soul and separation in the south. keith and its western allies have described the poles as a sham, but president vladimir putin says that aimed at saving the people living in the regions gun. usually she would need her of course, today amid the special military operation and referendums in the dumb boss, saving people in all territories where the referendum is held is at top of the mind . and in the center of the attention for our entire society and our country. you know, this is natural because it's connected with traumatic events, but i would well across russia, a mobilization drive is continuing, despite protests and the, the rest of hundreds of people, books. these pictures of new recruits leaving saint petersburg that have been released by russia's defense ministry. but thousands of russians have been rushing to the board is trying to enter the neighboring countries. georgia says the number arriving each day has nearly doubled since president putin announced the call up

officials and catholics down. one of russia's close allies say they are struggling to accommodate tens of thousands of people. mohammed vol isn't moscow. he says the kremlin could try to use the referendum to justify the mobilization prison vladimir putin from day one. when not to find them was announced. he declared that she would accept the results immediately and the expectation is not. but after the announcement of the results, probably after tomorrow, the russian duma will meet and they will endorse the results. and the feeling is that this is a complete the media talking about high turn out. so this is a concluded process. it will be closed in a few hours, maybe, maybe it's about to close. so it is a fait accompli these regions are going to join russia. russia is going to make that official in a, in a, in a speech by president vladimir put in a probably,

on the 13th of this month. it's a moment of history being felt here in russia and what's after the decision. and the declaration will be different from what's before it, because now the russian government is going to present this as a case of defending the motherland. and there is no escape. and there is no excuse for any russian citizens to try to avoid the drafting and avoid the fighting in east and your great the node stream one and 2 gas pipelines have sustained unprecedented damage. and one day, according to the networks, operate an old stream, a g. it says it's impossible to know when the system will be restored when old stream, one usually ships gas from russia directly to germany. but deliveries were suspended by russia earlier this month because of a stand off over sanctions. denmark and sweden 1st reported to the lakes near the

islands of bourne halls. shipping near the lines has been restricted, some e u members called the development an act of sabotage. parson joins us live now from leudemann and germany, the point when nor stream deliveries rich land as to what more can you tell us about these accusations of sabotage? me? yes, i'm here at the north 3 most to pipeline the one that's never been used and has been costing billions of years a very controversial pipeline. what we're hearing so far was that this all happened overnight for today's and then the sweets reported to leaks and the north $31.00 pipeline. and then a few hours later, also no, it's free to seem to have a leak and it wasn't just a small league. it wasn't correct. what's been reported is been really big holes. so even the swedes and the danish have said that ships should be divert that. they

should not go close to this area where you can actually see some gas bubbling up. so this now, these accusations, so to say of sabotage because it seems very unlikely as, as lead us here in europe. i say in but also experts are saying that these 3 holes will happen at the same time because these pipelines a very solid and they don't really leak easily by themselves. so the danish prime minister sat at the opening today of another pipeline from norway to poland. when she was there at the event, she said, this is too much of a coincidence. and also a german, i'm name to security official, said that the evidence points at a violent act rather than a technical difficulty. and this is what the prime minister from poland had to say, who was at the same event of the integration of the new pipeline. jewish managers,

the junior. today we faced an active, sabotaged. we don't know yet all the details of what happened, but we can see clearly that this is an act of sabotage, an act which likely means a further step of escalation of the situation in ukraine. there was not so. okay. step, can you explain why the node stream is so important while these northridge pipelines, they basically day back from the time that germany really wanted to engage with russia. and also of course, wanted to have cheap gas gases streaming and here directly from russia through this north stream, a one pipeline. but this all of course changed because of the war. there was a lot of discussion at the start of not for him to why would germany want this? it's too vulnerable as too much relation to basically political plays by russia. but germany insisted at one it's pipeline. but just 2 days before the war started,

the invasion by russia into ukraine, germany cancelled this pipeline. so this project has never been used. and it has also shown the phone. the ability of people were warning about that. germany was too, depending on russian gas. it was already before this north room to be pending for 40 percent from russian gas, and that would even go higher if this would have been used. now this all down to only 9 percent, because just a few weeks ago russia has closed north stream one talking about technical difficulties. so right, so germany now is really forced to use other means of their energy. they have to get liquid gas, but also trying to get their gas reserves full. so because both know it's 31 and 2 were not being used this this, these leaks have no impacts on the gas deliveries to germany right now. but it shows that at least if germany was hoping to get gas from north suite one that does

not seem likely anytime soon. now. okay, thank you so much for that update that steadfast and for us in germany. which of hands formulations are, are, by, has been on it in a wrist stayed funeral with world leaders joining prime minister from you because shita and paying tributes of i was assassinated in july while campaigning and parliamentary elections, but many oppose the expensive funeral. following revelations about arbiter and the ruling parties ties to the controversial unification church for mcbride reports from tokyo and a warning to help us. his report contains flash photography. the remains of shinto bay were carried into the venue by his widow accompanied by the current prime minister to me. okay. shita, whose decision it was to go ahead with this controversial states funeral. more than $4000.00 guests, including many dignitaries in world leaders. they heard casita the tribute to his

have also heard his reputation and that of the current government. still thousands turned down from all parts of japan to pay their respects. you know, the more he's always stood up for. he believes, even when many were against him. personally, i like i'll be very much. i'm so happy to see how many people have turned out long lines, waiting patiently to lay flowers as their own tribute. his legacy will certainly be a controversial one responsible for policies that will often divisive here. but since they seem determined to change japan's position in the world and he'll be remembered as one of his countries, most significant political figures. robert bride houses, era took care at least to 80 civilians have been injured to after russian war plans . 5 missiles near the city of it lived in northwest and syria. at least for air strikes, hit close to camps full internally displaced people. the near the bob. i'll how

quasi qua tang announced a package of tax cuts. investors have been unnerved by the huge amount of money the government is borrowing to fund that package, which i know harl has more from london. but tuesday has been slightly calmer than monday when the value of the pound touched historic lows against the dollar of $1.03. it's now recovered to $1.00 and around $0.08, but that's still extremely low. and with it, of course, the value of government debt has plunged, meaning the cost of government borrowing has gone up. the cost in particular of 10 year bonds is now as expensive as its been since $2976.00. and that was the year when the international monetary fund was called in for an emergency loan, a bailout for a falling pound. at that point, the result of the last time, such expensive tax cuts were included in a budget that led then to spiraling inflation. what is going on essentially now is

a massive crisis of confidence among investors who are incredulous, frankly, it's quite how this government plans to pay back the borrowing it will take on to fund those 45000000000 pounds worth of tax cuts, $48000000000.00 worth the to a pretty close to parity. now the falling pound means imports get more expensive and the net importer of what it consumes that will add to the cost of living crisis, probably to the rate of inflation, all of which will have the entirely opposite effect. intended effective positive quad things, mini budget, fiscal event, call it what you will last week, which it had been hoped would make people feel a little bit better off. well, the leader of the u. k. is all position labor party has been speaking at its annual conference in liverpool. kiss darma focused on the filtering currency urging forces to ditch the ruling conservatives. what we've seen in the past few days has no

precedent. the government has lost control of the british economy. and for what they crush the pound and for walt high interest rates, higher inflation pipe offering and for want not for you know, for working people for cut, cuts for the richest one percent in our society or poor bryn and joins us lie from liver, poland, to pull us as a golden opportunity for labor it certainly seems that way, and it was a confident speech from kiersten. i think what he's looking at is the conservative party has moved most definitely to watch the rights on the lead trusts, and on the quasi quotes and very much more free markets. economy. economics a being installed by a new conservative government and the labor party now sees a vacuum appearing in the center ground,

which is where they believe the next election could be one. business has generally gravitated towards the conservatives and kissed armor. a pains to say that labor can now partner with business and with unions in order to actually make the economy work better than the conservative. you heard a click there about the criticism of the conservatives tax plans. i cities just, i'm also went on to say for example, that they used to lecture us, that the conservatives used to lecture us and said about making amending the roof while the sun was shining. they've not only wrecked the roof, they've smash the windows and they've blown the doors off. was his summation of exactly walks. the conservative party has done to the economy with last fridays and many budgets. now, the big policy reveal, i'm was a great british energy company. i publicly own green energy company, which labor says it would introduce and legislate for within the 1st year of any new labor government. and the other thing that i think was very interesting was

there were echo, is very strong carries of glerison. tony blair, who came out of power in 2007, and essentially the echoes of that it's his, was a controversial than and it's disputed legacy. but after rebuilding the labor party following the disastrous 2019 results test, dominant feels he can bounce on from the rebuilding to actually positioning labor as a, as a really credible party of government. okay, thank you for that. so let's pull brennan for us in liverpool. in india, protests are being held over the death of a 15 year old student, diligently beaten by his teacher demonstrations, turned violence in the state of upper dish. the boy belongs to the dallas community that are discriminated against under the hindu cost hierarchy. the teacher has not been found and belongs to a community, regarded as upper cost, a series of beatings and rapes of members of india's dallas community have been

a going to government data about 5 cost based hate crimes. take place every hour on average in the country. not in that does have strict and stringent laws against crimes like these. in fact, a few years ago, some of these laws were even strengthened. but activists say that enforcement remains weak. we've also seen members of this community mobilize and. 6 their right increasingly over the last few years. but their efforts have often been met with more discrimination. and as in incidence, like these more violence or columbia ends in a swale or have re opened their borders to cargo, potentially enabling billions of dollars and tried after a year's long closure. people along the shared border hope it will boost the economy lesandra rump. yet he reports from the colombian border town of co kuta. i adorned with flags from both countries. the 1st cargo trucks crossed the border
