occupied areas of ukraine over the last week. the votes denounced by western governments and the ukrainian government as a sham all deliver it at his own. think yes, to join in russia. oh, we bought a metal, the choice of the people in the areas of dimansky hands separate her and her son is not up for discussion. it's been made when you russia will not betray it. and the authorities in here today should treat that free will of the people with respect even and no other way in. yeah, that's the only path to peace that you would we will defend our land using all forces and means at our disposal electric. i will do everything we can to protect the security of our people in total, rush as illegally and next about 50 percent of ukraine's total area land equivalent to the size of portugal. in his speech president put in said the population of the 4 regions with the russian citizens for ever. and while he made no mention of

nuclear weapons is previously said, nothing's off the table when it comes to defending. what in his eyes is now russian territory. that's raised fears of an escalation, if ukrainian attacks in parts of russian claimed regions continue. it. we are looking for an international. they'll try to ensure face of images on television. but people's real emotions will be very far away from what's being shown. people understand that politics is now on the battlefield on a whole different level. what voted for and what sign is not important. in that sense, the kremlin can author in east encountering to the russians system law. that wasn't what the authorities did off for the public was this carefully managed celebration . the patriotism was clear. the appetite among ordinary rushes for a prolonged conflict. perhaps miss so by the stroke of a pen resident hootin has withdrawn the maps of both russia and ukraine. but now

the difficult part begins. ukraine and her powerful western allies exist. the move should be reversed. russia says it is going to defend what is now called its territories. by any means, that implicitly includes nuclear weapons. mohammed one, a da 0, moscow. let us take a look at the areas of ukraine that the kremlin now claims as part of russia. it's about 15 percent of ukraine's territory and includes parts still under ukrainian control. crimea was claimed by russia in 2014. the un secretary general says the annexations are against international law and unacceptable in one of those claimed regions and attacking civilian convoys killed at least 30 people, including children, police, and definition, say $88.00 others have been injured or challenged reports from keith. they've come to help to pick up relatives and deliver supplies to rush unoccupied areas. and

this was how they died. cut down next to their cars or in them blood pooling among the shattered glass. wouldn't you also visit today at 710 russian troops launched 3 missiles at the car. mark, if you're a preacher or keep highway civilians trying to cross the checkpoint for the occupy territory were hit. let me put in russia has denied responsibility and thrown the accusations back at ukraine. how is after the attack? let me put in formally annexed for ukrainian regions. the un has condemned. this is illegal for the kremlin, put on a patry arctic party in moscow. regardless. president lensky has been pushed to respond. after meeting defense and security chiefs. it was his turn for a big announcement, merrill belmont street. we are taking our decisive step by signing ukraine's application for excel rated accession to nate rushes invasion of ukraine has

already driven sweden and finland into nato's protection. now, moscow's big nightmare ukraine's membership may happen to. but all 30 nato countries have to agree before a new member is admitted. and aspirant nations have to commit to the peaceful resolution of any territorial dispute. that's something that ukraine is clearly unable to do, was, is defending itself from an invasion that sees as an existential threat. so the alliance is making no promises yet. the seasonal membership of course, has to be taken by all 30 allies. and we take these decisions by consensus. our focus now is on providing immediate support to ukraine and to help you can defend itself against the russian. brutal innovation inside may tell you or out give says it'll fight on the man in

northern didn't ask russian troops surrounded and on the verge of a local defeats. moscow says it's new acquisitions, a russian forever. ukraine is trying to prove, otherwise. we'll reach helen's. i'm to 0, give us president joe biden says america will never recognize washing claims over ukrainian territory. america is fully depend prepared with our nato allies is offend every single inch of native territory every single and so mr. prudent don't misunderstand what i'm saying. every inch denmark's energy agencies as gasoline from 2 major pipelines that one from russia to germany are expected to stop over the weekend. on monday for rob chose were discovered in the north stream $1.00 and $2.00 pipelines which transport gas under the baltic sea . neither were an operation, but they had been filled with missing that began bubbling to the surface that

you're calling for an urgent investigation. while rushes accused the west of sabotaged the european union once even further action and the blocks energy crisis in your members have agreed to cut peak our power consumption. they're also going to impose levies on windfall profits of energy companies is to try to reduce energy prices, which of sword since the war and ukraine, latasha bottles. good morning. the story from paris. energy ministers have agreed on 3 measures. they say will help reduce energy bills in the european union. they won't implement a power saving measures. so measures that would force, for example, companies and businesses to reduce consumption. they also want to implement a winful tax for some energy companies that have been making enormous profits during this energy crisis. and thirdly, a solidarity tax on fossil fuel companies. the idea is that the extra money from these taxes would go into helping

a poor household across the european union. now the check energy administer, the hosted this meeting in brussels, said of course with the wind to looming. there is a real sense of urgency. he said, the simply doesn't have the luxury of time not to do anything. we are in energy war with russia, which also strongly affects our industry, father, origins, and coordinate the election is needed well in terms of further action, energy ministers are also considering the idea of putting in place a price cap on or gas coming into the european union not just a rush, i guess this is something that 50 member states have been pushing for, including fraud, poland, and spain. they said would help reduce energy prices in the u. that this price limit could be put at a rate that would still make you very competitive. on the international market, but so far,

the commission has been very reluctant to put in place any sort of measure like an e wide priced cab because they are worried about dissuading energy importers, gas importers. at a time when you sort of desperately needs energy sources or rushes use, is vito power to block or un security council resolution condemning it sonic sation of 4 more ukrainian regions, diplomatic out of the james base? joining me now from the united nations in new york, james talk us through what's been happening at the security council when in many ways, it wasn't a surprise that russia used its veto because of course, this was a resolution drawn up by albania and the u. s. they jointly came up with a resolution condemning russia for his actions, for those so called referenda. and for the announcement of the annexation that we've seen in recent hours from our president, putin as worth noting that most of the security council supported this resolution.

although it was vetoed by russia, but there were 4 countries that decided they were going to abstain china, india, brazil, and gabon. what happens next is that this will now be taken by the u. s. to the general assembly of the united nations where we're all 193 member states, get their view and a similar sort of resolution we expect to be put to the vote at some point next week. immediately after the security council meeting, i spoke to one of ukraine staunchest supporters. that's the u. k. the british ambassador abra woodward. it's another example of russia abusing its veto in order to cover up for its illegal invasion. but i think the important result is that no other country supported this illegal annexation by preaching of parts of ukraine. and that's very clear now, we'll go to the general assembly next week, and i expect that we'll see strong support again for this fundamental un principle

of territorial integrity and sovereignty. no other country supported russia, but there were countries abstaining this time. there were 4 abstentions in february, there were 3 this time there was china joined by brazil, india and kept bon, does that make you worried that your isolation campaign is cracking a bit? i think we've heard around the world clear condemnation. all russia's so called unexcused action of these 4 parts of ukraine. i think all of the explanations of vote that i listen to rock solid in their support for the un charter. the support for the 2nd generals very clear statement yesterday, making clear russians actions stand against everything. the un charter stands for and standing up again for the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. bought back in february when you took it to the general assembly, you got 141 votes. while you confident you can get that high watermark again. i'm

confident that we'll have a strong showing of support against this illegal annexation because these are fundamental principles of the charter unless we heard from the mexican permanent representative today. countries that have experienced a tax on annexations feel very strongly about this principle. and i think we'll go on a strong support around that important fundamental principle. president putin spoke earlier. i'm sure you've seen clips of what he said he sounded angry in recent days . this is someone who's issued veiled threats of nuclear force. how worried should we be? how dangerous is this moment with head threat serve nuclear force from russia right from the beginning of this illegal war? of course we take them seriously and, but it is an irresponsible our escalation by president putin. and i think the most important thing is to end this irresponsible rhetoric and end the illegal war. what

do you say to those who come up with a pretty simple argument and you heard it? i think from some of those who abstained to day, that the situation is becoming more tense and dangerous. it's time just to stop the fighting now and start diplomacy doesn't matter who, who owns what territory stopped the fighting. now, i think we've, we've been around this argument before and it's pretty clear if the ukranian stop fighting ukraine ceases to exist. if the russian stop fighting at then we can talk peace. so it's not a, it's not a simple equation like that. so yeah, if he, if the ukrainians don't fighting, we lose ukraine. if the russians don't, what fighting the war ends and we sell the british ambassador barbara would, would british ambassador the un speaking to me earlier on and sounding pretty confident about this. moving now to the general assembly, but it's worth reminding you of those 4 countries that abstained in the security

council to day china, india, brazil, very big countries, will others be watching this and going well, it's probably safe for us to have se stain as well. i think there'll be a comparison when we get that vote next week in the general assembly with the 141 votes that were cast in support of ukraine and deploring russians. russia's actions that took place shortly after the invasion. james, thanks very much. indeed. james bass talking to us from united nations in new york . i had on ours is it how to can ian claims more lives in the us? we're gonna have the latest as the song continues to move north. ah right. florida's suffered severe damage? i mean, as you know, but even though we categorized as a, as

a category one hurricane, as it makes land fall on the coast of south carolina is not as extreme. it still brought with it a huge amount of rain and a storm surge of up to about 2 meters. but it's in land for most the saturday. as you can see, rain will be the problem rain which and you can associate this with it off the coast of the northeast in states. western sites, particular the mountains are getting cold and there's a hint of snow on the tops here in wyoming. otherwise, right, in quite sick, considerable rain, big thunderstorms are possible where says the states follow that line down to the bahamas and cuba. there's some big potential from showers here. and that's true in puerto rico and towards to leave it out for the south looking. all right, mexico's mostly drawn out except just watch that and there's your screen all lean, which looks like a hurricane which you made land full after the weekend was encouraging showers on that coast of mexico and it's still looking wet in honduras, a nicaraguan, down towards panama, where in fact, that line of rain goes into the western amazon,

then it's a big, dry patch except on here and the coast to southeast of brazil, rio down to porto allegra. that looks a little bit dismal ah, with blue, with

ah, watching or does it remind of our top stories? this are russia's presidents, proclaimed the annexation of 4 ukrainian regions. vladimir putin joined thousands of people to bosco's red square for the public celebration is envoy uses russia's veto power to block a un security council resolution condemning the land grab. you members have agreed to cut peak our power consumption. they're also going to impose levies in windfall profits of energy companies. they're hoping to reduce energy prices, which have sort since the born ukraine or king of fossil his leader has been overthrown by the military officer made the announcement on state television a short time ago. according to that statement, the country's new leader is captain abraham with forwarding, he says president polo read the amoeba was removed because of ongoing security

failures. the constitution has been suspended and borders are closed. heavy gunfire has been how to run the capital this morning, including the presidential palace. that course does your, it says one, the constitution is suspended. last to the transitional charter is dissolved worry, the government is dissolved for the transitional. legislative assembly is dissolved 5. the land in air borders are closed from 30th to september, 2022 at 0 hours until further notice. 6, a curfew is introduced from 9 pm to 5 am. 7, all political activity is suspended. 8, all activities of civil society organizations are suspended. 9, the nation's active forces will be convened in the near future to adopt a new transitional charter, and to designate a new civilian or military precedent. violence in unrest of spilled over from marley into neighboring burkina faso multiple times over the past 10 years. the

country suffered attacks by fighters linked to our height as north african branch and i so we been escalating their offensive and gaining territory in the region since 2015 military leader paul, over in the sand. old world amoeba rose to power through a qu in january. yeah, most of the countries civilian government and promised to contain armed groups operating in the area, but dummy but failed to stop new attacks. large supply convoys taking aid to besieged and blockaded towns were hit twice in september by improvised explosive devices killing dozens of civilians on nicholas hacks. joining me now from a darker and nick, the group of african nations that makes up echoes, the trading group says the crew is an inopportune moment. when it says there is progress in democracy. why do we think this qu has happened at this time? well it appears that there's been really an uptick of violence in brick. kina far

so, notably just a few days ago on september 27th, a convoy in the north of the country was attack. now officially, the government of the me by now is that only 11 soldiers had died. but according to some of the members of the military that we spoke to, that death toll was much higher. there's a feeling among some of the rang, some of them that are on the front line, that the government isn't telling the whole truth to the public. and there was growing discontent among the soldiers that are on the front line. and the commanding officer that appeared to be leading from the back, instead of stepping in and helping those soldiers remember, bull all he, that me back came into power in a cou, after a hawk about cowboy got naca. boy, the elected president had failed to help the armed forces. they were struggling with having even food rations delivered to them. equally,

they had issues with being badly equipped with arm groups that are better equipped than the military forces that's according to the president of news year in the neighboring country where there are also attacks from our groups linked to al qaeda and i and i so this is not only a problem for bettina fall, so it's a problem for the region. now, why is this so important? this qu, that we're seeing today because the security of the region is contingent on the stability of burkina faso. when there's fear that with the military acting on united and divided and if in the face of arm groups that are gaining ground, that these are groups could be gaining more grounds and, and launching attacks to countries in the gulf of guinea. wrong. what's been the reaction to the crew?

well, a muted reaction at 1st i remember that there's a curve shoe in place right now. there's a long list that, that was, that was just played out on national television of demands and new rules. no public gatherings, no political activities. now we'll see tomorrow morning when the curfew will have ended, how the reaction is on the street. but there's a muta, reaction perhaps, because there's a sense of deja who amongst the residence of walker do that. we spoke to. i mean, remember, there was a cool like this just a few months ago with colonel demy by taking over power soldiers taking over the main arteries of the capital, promising the very same thing that's being promise yet again, peace in security, in a region that's finding it difficult to find that peace and security, there's really this uptake of violence in this feeling amongst people and residents of walker do that. the security forces are failing them. so now

that the people in breaking up us are waiting for and for actions from these new soldiers i've taken over power rob, they're going to thank you very much. indeed. nickos had bringing up to date from dakar. hawkins in his maid landfall in south carolina. the storm dropped from hartigan status to a post tropical cyclone heavy rains and strong winds of knocked power to more than $170000.00 customers. i left many roadways under the coast under water. us president joe biden is approved and emergency declaration state and the hurricane decimated, florida and at least 21 deaths have been reported. it's one of the most powerful storms to hit the us in recent years with widespread devastation affecting millions of people. 80000 homes and the town of fort myers have been destroyed. florida governor says it's going to take years to repair the damage cause this is what we

found. we've only been here for months. we just pulled off our money to buy it and it's gone 6 months later. but luckily i have family there making sure we can save what we can say. we had probably 3 or 4 feet of water inside the house. no windows are broken, but we just water damage all our personal property. we had little bit of warning. you know, all of us had time to prepare, but it doesn't matter what you've prepared for. you see, all the docs are gone. there's no place entire boat and photos governor ron da signed. his explain more about why he thought the operation was going to take a long time. there's life rescue, making sure people are are ok following up on any type of calls. and there's been really hercules and effort. there's also the assessment ok of what's been damaged. that's going to impact the entire community. and of course the power is

a big issue. there are people that are working. i think lee and charlotte have about 15 percent restored. there's going to be able to be some more restored likely in the relatively near future, there is going to be some that's going to require some rebuild brazilian presidential candidate louis, and after lyla, this silva has held a campaign event in rio with just 2 days ago. before voters had to the polls for this event and finding morning was held just a few hours after the candidates last television debate, which was viewed by about 60000000 people will finish his campaign. in south paulo and saturday was out of both sonata was held. another motorcycle campaign rally and polka dot called us, cried lined up to see the president lead there valley shouting insults about opposition, candidate lula. his supporters believe he will not be defeated despite po number, suggesting otherwise. brazilian soccer saw a name. our union has defended supporting jad bo sonata namer, has been criticized online for dancing to boss anonymous campaign song. he

responded in a tweed seeing he was being attacked for having a different opinion. but the very people who talk about democracy was brazilians prepared to vote. supporters of president wilson, otto, continue to so douse about the country's electronic voting system. getting say he's laying the groundwork to contest the results. if defeated, monica inaccurate reports. i do. oh, in brazil selection there to mean contenders? former president wheezing. that's who rule or the silver on the left of the political spectrum in the incumbent. j. annabelle sonata on the right. but a 3rd character is now sharing the spotlight, brazil's electronic voting system. often as of aim a go blow by man to vanilla said wonderful. bravo, this year, brazil's electronic voting machines have been used in every national election for the past 2 decades, and have been considered reliable. trailing in the polls,

wilson, i was questioning the technologies integrity, prompting his followers to the st. he's taken to the streets, demanding the return of paper balance. if there is no paper trays, how will we to know that the election has not been stolen ballston our road will win on the 1st round on october 2nd, unless there is fraud. the presidents, opponents sable so matter is laying the groundwork to contest the results of he loses yearly omaha. both scenario is a bad copy of donald trump. he tries to copy trump in everything brazil's electoral courts. as the machines are secure. the system has more than turn at technology, technological barriers, security barriers. it's used in most modern mechanisms, navarra cryptography, and digital signature and is consider one to more secure security. secure elector

assistance in the war. political analysts, sasha plaza, says that sparking this controversy is dangerous for brazil's democracy. i think the residential wilson on who's doing this because he won't accept the results of the election if he loses. and so he needs an excuse. he needs or narrative. he needs to tell a story about why he lost and who is behind this, and there's a judicial conspiracy left his confederacy, conspiracy to, to put him out of office for recent polls show that 7 out of every 10 brazilians still believe in the electronic voting system. which was 1st used in 1996 and only 4 years ago facilitated the election of president bull san ardo himself. monica in ocoee of al jazeera rio de janeiro. and you can find a lot more on our website.
