ah, oh, i'm adrian for again. this is al jazeera alive from dough, also coming up. polls close on the final day of the referendums and separate just controlled parts of ukraine and whether they should join the russian federation or can ian makes land full of western cuba and heads for the west coast of florida. and ah, japan bids farewell to its former prime minister. sions. obey, but many questioned the lead for such an expensive state. feudal ah, unexplained gas leaks have been detected in the old stream one and 2 gas pipelines from bratia to germany. the damage is unprecedented. according to the networks operators, nordstrom a jeep, it says it's impossible to know when the system will be restored. nod stream,

one normally 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 the leaks near the island of bornhold. shipping near the lions has now been restricted. some e u members suspect the lines have been sabotaged. dish matters, the tenure to day. we faced an act of sabotage. 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 3rd step of escalation of the situation in ukraine. they're out as they are steadfast and has the latest from lookin on little than coasts of germany, where the old stream one pipeline comes ashore. that happened overnight. so when the, the suites and end date, dana found out that there were significant leaks in the north stream one pipeline. and then just a few hours later. also there were, was a big leak in the north stream to pipeline. and that's the pipeline where i'm

standing up right now. it's never been officially used because it's very controversial. and these leaks are not just correct. so the seem to be really significant holes in these pipelines. and you can see apparently gas bubbling up and the swedish and danish authorities have also warned ships from going to that area. they have said that all the ships have to be diverted. and also interestingly, we just spoke to a, sorry, it's me, ologist at the seller university in sweden. and he says that not only last night, but even the night before, they did attacked it explosions in the area of 2.3. at the richter scale causing these kind of a tramos, basically he said that it is basically comparable. if you explode a minds between 10200 kilograms, we're still waiting, of course for confirmation and other sources to explain about what happened there.

but that's of course, also something to keep an eye on what i said, it's unprecedented 3 leagues at 2 pipes at the same time, these light, these pipes don't break very easily. so not only your p and lead us are pointing at sabotage, but also experts say it's very unlikely that this is just a coincidence. lung is the director of the swedish national science pick network. he says there's no doubt that the explosions near the pipelines with detected to bloss, so explosions yesterday in the vicinity of the danish, ireland, was born home. so 1st in the early morning between sunday and mine, monday at o 2 or 3 swedish time, we detected a smaller block south east of the island. later that day at 7 pm, there was a larger last north, east of bourne holland. and the location of the latter blast is very

close to the location that the swedish maritime authorities say that the leaks are occurring. so we have a location uncertainty of a few kilometers. and this location is about 56 kilometers from the point where they say that the leakage is occurring. they're not an earthquake. that's very clear. and we also have quite a lot of data on last in the water, in the area, slightly closer to the swedish coast, when the swedish navy have training exercises and they a lot of minds for example. and they often let us know about the particulars on that. so the data from yesterday's last are very similar. there's no doubt that these are explosions occurring in the water falls of closed on the final day of referendums in separatist controlled parts of ukraine on whether they should join the russian federation. they include the self declared donates and new hampshire

republics in the east. and thomson casts on an apple this year in the south. keith, it's weston allies, have described the poles as a sham. the president putin says the aimed at saving the people living in the regions can usually see wouldn't you? of course today, amid the special military operation and referendums and the don boss, saving people in all territories where the referendum is held at top of the mind. and in the center of the attention for our entire society and our country. this is natural because it's connected with traumatic events, but i would love me to put in 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, the russian duma will meet and they will endorse. that is on the feeling is that this is a fait accompli, 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 of law. me to 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 eastern ukraine. i was 0100 abdel hamid reports now from easton to ukraine. we heard several times from president as the lensky that in his words, this was

a sham and a legal referendum that had no basis for it to be considered. ah, when you speak to people, they also kind of shrug it off, but it does bring a whole load of worry. most of the people i spoke to would tell you that they do know the results of the referendum without waiting the full 5 days of voting. actually voting should be ending quite soon if not. now in the next couple of hours in these 4 regions, i what people are worried about is what happens after the referendum and we serve over the past 5 days. oh, civilians trying to get out of a loo. hines have done yet of as a parade. yeah, of have sold, which is just about an hour drive from where i am. oh they and they've been saying all along the same thing. some will tell you that this referendum for deb was the last drop. they didn't mind stay for 7 months. under rocco, russian occupation,
