a happy bright future for us as part of the russian federation for a happy and bright future for our children, our grandchildren, our descendants. o, i'll show you too. with the defendant, ms. a large chunk of ukraine would become russia, at least in the captain's eyes, gun usually she would near her of course, to day, amid the special military operation and referendums in the don bus, 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 in our country. this is natural because it's connected with dramatic events. in preparation for those dramatic events. russia is sending an additional $300000.00 reservists for implying disguise holden feel wonderful. uh huh. do you believe in the victory?

of course it can be any other way. everything will be fine, everything is okay. how's the mood we are in the mood for fighting with whatnot. everyone is happy. this matter argues with russian official enough, took a city near the border with georgia. i will speak out, i am right, we are the occupiers. ukraine has not been part of the u. s. s r for a long time. but the russian government remains determined this. his defense minister surgeon shall go visiting a training camp for recently mobilized troops. and it's these men that president put in is now relying on to win his war. but more on this were alive from the ukraine capital. but 1st, let's speak to mohammed val in moscow on those results that are coming in. so my heard what happens next then.

yes, carry. what happens next to start today? the lead as the leaders of those 4 regions, including the 2 self declared the republics of the don't buff and also have on and does up. and now that they would address letters to president put in to accept or consider the idea of annexation depending on the results of this referendum, visits by some of those leaders are expected visits to moscow today to meet in person with president put in ad, deliver those messages and the expectation and what's being said here is about russia will be favorable and, but soon either tomorrow or after to morrow, a deal will be assigned or a treaty will be find the treaty of an ex ation between president footing and the

for leaders of those regions, when that happens, that street, he will be studied by the constitutional court to check it compatibility with russian constitution. when it is approved by the constitutional court, it will be voted on by the parliament, the 2 chambers of the parliament in the next couple of days. and thus when it will become law. and that's when we put in we'll deliver speech and officially enough negation of those areas. all of those regions in easton, ukraine. ok, 900. thank you. we're going to get the latest now from charles at stratford in cuba . charles, what are the ukrainian authorities saying about all this? will the reaction from keith, as you can imagine, is one of complete defiance and rejection of what they and their international back as and the un cool illegal referendums,

lacking any kind of legal legitimacy. what so ever we've already heard from the ukranian foreign minister to mitchell calais by. he sang that se, demanding, even toughest sanctions from the european union sang the soft of the reaction to the so called referendum, the great to the motivation for russia to escalate and potentially annex mo, ukrainian territory. we've also been speaking to one. busy of the ukranian presidents advises mckayla, pollock, he again saying that this change is absolutely nothing the ukrainians determined to stick to that number. one goal of as he said de occupying russian occupy territories in the south and the east with respect to this mobilization. interestingly, he again said that this was not possible. mobilization showed desperation by vladimir putin, the ukrainians are estimating that the russians are trying to get at least

a potentially a 1000000 more men to those fronts. hey, describe these men is becoming cannon fodder. and he said that he was encouraged, the ukranian government was encouraged by these protests that we have seen over the last couple of days in russia over this conscription. and he also obviously looks at the legitimacy of this referendum these referendums in these areas. because of course, russia doesn't fully control any of the full regions. for example, this referendum that was held in the areas of zappa's asia o bloss does apparition region. russia does not even control the regional capitals apparition city. so for the ukrainians again, that sort of thing drawing attention to the farcical nature of these votes. let's have. busy listen to what more mr. port ali said about these referendums, no pressure, no my and there is no legality to this referendum because it's pure propaganda. it

will have no consequences in international law. this is ukraine's territory and it will remain ukraine territory with him. secondly, you cannot conduct a referendum legally when there is a war and this occupied territory. and when people go door to door with weapons forcing people to vote, this vote doesn't change anything. when we understand that russia is on the path of escalation and we will liberate all our territory prisons. zalinski says that russian action and holding this vote will completely block away any piece negotiation processing those so we understand that sir, reaction from washington so far, there's plans for an additional weapons or weapons package to be sent to ukraine of we understand more than a $1000000000.00 worth of u. s. weapons being committed. that's in addition to what we know is already around $9000000000.00 in, in weapons from the u. s. and we also know that the europeans are looking at an

additional series of sanctions on russia and the u. k. over the last couple of days is smashed more sanctions on what they say were russians an. busy involved in the organisation of what they called is illegal referendum with respect to the fighting in the east. no, let up there. some interesting developments overnight. certainly, according to the ukrainians, they saying that they've got the russian forces very much on the back foot in the town of lee man, that is a town north of slavery answer in donates an o blaster of great st components because of its railway networks that are an as an as a railway hub, we also know that there is ongoing fighting in various areas across ganske and donates. and as i said, sir portfolio yesterday, the presidential advisors saying that this change is absolutely nothing. and he was keen to quote his president zalinski saying, but the number one priority on

a military level at this moment for ukraine is donnette sco blast ukrainians, only control around 40 percent of donetta. and the reason why that is the number one priority according to a portfolio, is because he says that is russia's number one priority to they want to control all of the nets. ukrainian saying that's simply not going to happen. chance trap fed lie for us in cave there. thank you. that update. now hurricane in has knocked out power across cuba. e category 3. hurricane may land full on the island on tuesday morning with winds of up to tunes and 5 kilometers from around. 40000 people have been forced to flee their homes while joining us now as our 0, where the present evidence talk 7 to what's been going on. well fortunately, if we can say fortunately, kerry the, the storm has now punched its way through cuba. it's a one day event for cuba, it will take a lot longer to get sway through our florida. so we can slightly,

but it is in the process of re strength thing. again, i can show you on the satellite pitcher is massive cloud here, just making its way further. northwoods that is pushing up toward sir, florida now, and you just make out the either storm or that little dark spot just to the north of havana. that's the eye of the storm, and it is once again gathering. so we are looking at sir, wins very close to 200 kilometers per hour. and $95.00 clumped is per hour is kerry was just saying there was $205.00 at its maximum intensity. it will get back up to was that sort of number, i think over the next few hours or so we're probably looking at winds approaching 210 kilometers per hour. so close to a category for may from may catch before status before it does push its way through life threatening storm search. that's the big worry. flash flooding for long spells of heavy rain coming in over the next few hours or so we just zoom into we're florida here. you can just make out the position of the storm then to the south

tampa, which is where we are initially thought. the storm may be making it seats worst impacts. that's now just to the south of that, but a lot, a low lying ground across a good part of southern florida. we're looking at a storm surge. may be 2 to 3 meters, much southern florida. you're lucky to see well heights of around one meter. so that is of course, going to be something of a problem. that's a storm will then just make its way out of that east. the side of florida as we go on through the next couple of days, eventually pushing back up towards the carolinas. but some of these parts carrie could see maybe as much as 30400, maybe 500 millimeters afraid in the next couple of days. ok button thanks very much . now, vietnam has downgraded typhoon north to a tropical depression, but warned people to stay alert. hundreds of thousands have been evacuated from their homes. schools are closed on 2 provinces, have imposed curfews about 40000 soldiers and 200000 militia members have been

could see about a month's worth of rainfall in the next 24 hours or so somewhere to whether to sliding down towards the balkans spattering a shower there which was at eastern side if you have still some rather heavy showers long esparza frame, affecting a good part of southern scandinavia, some of that where to weather also pushing into that east side of scotland. pushing across east narrows of england, sinking further southwards temperature. starting to recover a little bit as we go on into thursday, but by no means wor, cuz splashes, shower se across much of central year, and a shower to come to learn more widespread across the mat. it's rated as well. spain and portugal, tony, decidedly unsettled. o i, which was a se still a fair bit of warmth around here and staying large. she dry while she tried to cross much of north africa, nor the maria could see one or 2 showers, plenty of showers there across southern parts of west africa. with heavier downpours heading over to wards. she already had the weather sponsored by a cat on a ways debating the issues of the day frog use as always,

dan criminalized around the boundaries of races under members. there people or family or friends, american union members on air or online jewel voice this minute to we don't believe in dialogue. political crisis must be off with the political solution as climate change progress is there some people who are in places that they're just going to have to make. there is no recognition about what we're ready facing the street. oh, now g 0. ah ah, he watching out this era, reminder of our main store is now russian, back to authorities and for reasons of ukraine. so the results of a 5 day referendum showed people have overwhelmingly voted to join the russian

federation. keep on its western eyes, say the boat is a sham. under senior russian official has issued the most serious nuclear threat so far in the warren ukraine, former president to meet them at the other. says even east nato went into b. russia tax the country with nuclear weapons or can in, has knocked out how across cuba, the category 3 hurricane by land fall on the on, on tuesday morning with winds of up to 205 kilometers per hour. about 40000 people have been forced to flee their homes in the us government has banned a muslim organization called the poker the front of india for 5 years. the government accuses a group of being involved in anti national and terrorism related activities. several members have been arrested or detained in raids across the country. also says the group has a secret agenda to radicalized parts of society. having a towel has more from new diary. this marks the end of an ongoing crackdown on the

organisation. the popular front of india or p f i has been banned for 5 years. the government has declared all its activities illegal, which basically means that p f. i can neither raise funds and cannot carry out any event. so no protests at all. it also cannot raise funds, it also cannot recruit people. the income tax department has also canceled its registration that the group has many associates and affiliates. the government has also banned it off those. and now this comes a day after coordinated nationwide raids across the country, more than 200 people have been either arrested or detained in these. and this has been going on for some time. in fact, last week of the organization's chairman was also arrested. now the accusations are very serious, the government hasn't exactly given us too many details. but what, what it has said is that the organization has been accused of funding training and

carrying out so called terrorist activities. it's accused the organization of radical lising people and having links with isolate. protests have turned valentina dozens of iranian cities as people continue demonstrating over the death of a woman in police custody rights groups as at least 75 people were killed in the unrest. critics accused for the safari, directly at protested among those arrested is jose shaming the daughter of a former president of shami ross and johnny escalade, to us who said out who's in the iranian capital, tehran. so we're how significant is that arrest the daughter of the former president? well, it's not significant in terms of his potential impact on the iranian politics here . however, for the protesters, having the support from graphs angenie family is, is quite important because of some, any family has been a very much influential family in a more than history off iraq. her father,

the former president, hush mit roxanne. johnny has been one of the founding fathers of the islamic republic, and he was also one of the most influential figures in the more than history of your on particularly the, the da da da da post islamic revolutionary. he was elected twice as deep that the president of the country, and he played a crucial role, particularly after the war between iran and, and iraq. so he was very much close to the revolution leader or khomeini and very much close to the curb and supreme leader ali hominy as well. so in that sense, he has been quite a critical figure for this, for this concert. her absent and family is also a big at business family, but the hush miller, st. johnny, the former president, was quite critical toward the establishment here in the last years off of his life, particularly after 2009 and his children had been arrested several times. so phaser

of son johnny heard his daughter was also was arrested in 2009 and in 2012 and now she's arrested again. so did the security forces here or seeing that the reason that she was arrested is that because she is pro walk in the riots that the rallies, the anti jap rallies, i guess the against the that the government. so we do not know how long she is going to be a stay in the, in, in, in the jail. however, for the protesters, having her support is quite important. but we shall know that she is not a leading figure among the protesters yet, unrest. so what's the latest on the protests that have been taking place? well last night and there had been several protests across iran, but we can see that they are losing the momentum regarding beer they did. they are cycles. so we do not know whether this is because of the internet restrictions that is put by the government, or whether it is the about the, the heavy presence of the security forces in cities. and also they are heavy handed

measures against their protest. her so far, according to the seat at the t, the tilt television or seed agency, and at least $4.00 to $1.00 people were killed during the protest, including the secure, the members of the security forces as well. so, and, but some and yours are speculating. these numbers, they say that, that the real numbers are much higher than the da da da numbers that are provided by this is by the official a sources. however, at this moment is quite impossible, really to confirm the real numbers here. so and semi state agency test names, which is also affiliated to the revolutionary gods here, said that at least $1200.00 professors who were leading the protest have been identified and many of them have been arrested. meanwhile, through the last week, they have been several, a pro government of rallies as well,

particularly the one in to run any michelle were quite big in their success. but so far they haven't been any clashes between the pro and anti government rallies. here are so said are there with that update from terran on palestinian has been killed during an israeli raid on a house in the jenin refugee camp in occupied west bank. at least 9 others were wounded. on 30 is very military vehicles and full days as were seen in the area. local people say the man who is killed was a brother of rod cousin. he's accused of carrying out a mass, shooting television in april. denise format, miniature, them usa, that is come on the goes on charl on wednesday and 12 others are accused of killing a $150.00 protest is in 2009. i. managements reports from conducting the countries and former military ruler arrives in court under escort, accused of overseeing a massacre. 13 years ago,

the judge ordered him to be kept in prison before the trial start. like hundreds of families who blamed the former ruler daddy's will, shall come out for killing $150.00 protested chatter. no, my jabbar is still bitter over the killing of his nephew. and will you thank forgive someone if he didn't bring it, didn't it? did he be lately, but if he did it deliberately, you can't able to forgive him because he did it. september 28th, 2009 was one of guineas most violent days. when security forces open fire on peaceful demonstrators. rights activists say during and after the massacre, torture and other forms of abuses took place. the 10s of thousands of protesters came here 13 years ago to demand a quick return to democracy. but they had no idea the tara that wants to be unleashed on them that day. so i was say, some victims i shot at close range. female demonstrators trapped by the shooting,

was beaten and raped by security forces. as mo jello is president of the association of victims and their families here now at the appointed a different level. and if i get to meet my oppressors, i will ask them why they did that. why they carried out his reprehensible violence . why women will write you on why people are still unaccounted full and who gave the order for lawyers for the former military ruler, whole flew into guinea from brook in a fossil on sunday, say their client is eager to prove his innocence in court. what al farmer, the bar who has taken the case to the international criminal court, says they are prepared to prove otherwise loves it is d. as we hear the poker, the objective is to ensure that the perpetrators are punished and the victims i recorded their rights. and because many people are still missing, the trial could lead us to where the missing some buried. without justice,

there'll be no closure for families. so many have will come to move by guineas military government to bring the case to trial. but there are also suspicious of the trial could be political motivated by colonel mama, dom we're who seized power in cool last year is under pressure to step down from power and set a date for new elections. edris al jazeera cannot re the worst droughts recorded in the horn of africa and for decades is fitting humans and animals against each other. in a battle for resources, katherine sawyer has more from somebody who county in northern virginia cities recently arrived at this sanctuary in some bureau county in north kenya, she was found near her dead mother, with no food or water. ha caretaker, say she is settling into her new home, which she shares with several other offerings. they believe her mother may have starved to death. we are feeding them off over 3 hours, and each and every baby is getting to lead us buffy. and run,
