a referendum to absorb occupied territories into russia. you find the president says the drive for early ballots shows. moscow is feeling the pressure jailed over the motor of his high school girlfriend. his case became the focus of a popular true crime hold cause. now you waste, judge fries, non saeed on the basis. so you evidence and unrest and growing anger in iran. the death of a young woman in police custody re at night supposed to abolish the strict islamic dress code. ah, i'm been fooling. woke up the winds. annual general assembly is opening in new york with world latest meeting in person for the 1st time in 3 years. in the run up to his address to day secretary general and to cherish is born. the world is in great

peril. due to political conflicts, the climate crisis and the ongoing impact of the pandemic will bring you life coverage of his speech once it gets under way. but 1st, brushing back separatists in several ukrainian regions have announced referendums on joining russia. the self proclaimed to one scandal, yet people's republics in eastern ukraine as well as hassan in the country south. we'll begin voting friday on officially joining the russian federation. the decision comes, as keith continues, it's counter offensive in easton and southern ukraine. joining us now from hockey, vin, northeast, and ukraine is out, corresponded to connolly. nick, tell us more about what's just been announced so far. the details are pretty scarce, ben, but this is something that was expected. there's been talk with it for months and various dates were announced and then shelves as ukraine's advance pushed those russian troops forward. now it seems like they're in a big, big hurry. there's, i think, very little doubt as to what those results will look like. and then the next step,

being russia to accept that entry into the russian federation. we've heard talk figures in moscow talk about excepting that request in kind of an extraordinary speed. and an interesting thing to look at is that russia has played a game since 2014, using these kind of entities in donates kalonski, pretending that they are independent, even though their leaders have russian passports are often members of the ruling party in russia. and now i think, i guess that the kind of usefulness of this game has been lost. russia is, you know, in ukraine with the russian army. and so now in situation where ukraine is really doing quite well about field, pushing russia back at fast speeds, anyone can expected their basic giving up on this pretense. and, you know, looking to incorporate these searches into russia, at least that's what they're, they alone will be in their interpretation. the vote has been rumored for months. now the sudden need for speed. oh, what, what sort of success or,

or basis do you think there will be in this thought? i mean, i think that there, the result is kind of pre, a pre arrange. i think we know that there's very little chance of anything but a huge majority for during rush. i think the reason why this happening now is partly internal. it's because rushes having huge difficulties recruiting people to fight. and if they rational thoughts can claim at least internally, that this is about ukraine attacking russian territory, leased church that russia claims russian territory than it can mobilize. it can force people to fight to privacy, be able to get out of fighting. and it's also about trying to kind of bank some church in situation where it looks to be losing ground here. and ukraine, showing russian domestic kind of view as what this is all about. what the point of this war has been. little some more internationally. it's about having the opportunity to threaten ukraine with the used potentially of nuclear weapons, to say this is russian territory. if you're gonna attack us here, then we will use everything we've got to defend our own territory. now, i don't think any one outside russia is going to go anywhere near this and

recognize this, but that certainly is the kind of brinkman ship that seems to coming to this. russia seemingly convinced that the outside world, especially europe, is not willing to escalate further. that it has the kind of greater tolerance, the greater willingness to go big and to kind of up the stakes here and hope that somehow these kind of announcements force the you got your european backers and american backers of ukraine to come back to the table. the negotiating table may be cult called some kind of truce. how are you creating authorities likely to respond? i think they are ignore it. we've seen it. how do you cranes, army has been targeting russian military installations in crimea. another part of ukraine that russia claims is its own churchy, has claimed as russian since 2014. and we've seen get any announcements from the u . s. that they continue to see crimea as ukraine, as such. the ban on using us made weapons against russ inherited doesn't apply to crimea. it won't apply to the nets in the hans can. so basically ukraine will

continue. it's mitch offensives, maybe even trying to speed things up a bit to get in the way of this kind of creeping russian take over and, and it's gonna hans economy for us in hockey. thank you. or you and general sake for she antonio good terrace is now addressing the united nations general assembly . let's have a listen in closes. at its essence, this chip is the symbol of what we can accomplish. when we act together. it is loaded with ukrainian grain destined for the people of the horn of africa. millions of whom are on the edge of famine. it navigated so a water zone guided by the very bottom these to the conflict. as part of an empty sudan did comprehensive initiative to get more food and fertilizer out of ukraine and russia to being desperately needed relief to those. he needs to come. commodity markets secured, featured artists and lower prices for consumers,

everywhere. crane and the russian federation. we the supports of to the kia, came together to make it happen despite the anonymous complexities, then they say it is and even the hell of war. some might call it a miracle on the sea in throes in his mouth, the left of diplomacy, inaction, the black secret an initiative has opened the best way for the safe navigation of dozens of ships filled with much needed food supplies. but each ship is also carrying one of to these various commodities. hope, excellencies, we need hope and more. we need the extra to is the global foot crazies. we now must urgently address the global fertilizer markets crunch. these ear the world as enough foods. the problem is this to the motion,

but if the fertilizer market is not stabilized, next year's problem might be foot supply itself. you already have reports of farmers in west africa and beyond cultivating fewer crops because of the price or lack availability of fertilizers. if these essential to continue removing all remaining obstacles to the exports of rough and fertilizers and that ingredients including ammonia, these products are not subject to sanctions. and we'll keep up our efforts to eliminate indirect effects. another measure, 10 sun is the impact of high gas prices on the production of nitrogen fertilizers. and these must also be addressed seriously without action now, the global for the lies of shorter through quickly morph into a global foods, shortness excellencies,

we do the action across the board. let's have no illusions we are in rough seas. a, we, instead of global discontent, is on the horizon, a cost of living crises, his raging thrust. these combining inequalities are exploding, and our planet, he's burdening people are hurting with the most vulnerable suffering. the most. do not think nation sharp that in the ideals he 3 presents are in jeopardy. we have a duty to act. and yet we are greed locked in colossal global. this function, the international community is not read the, are willing to tackle the big that emetic challenges of our age. these crises strengthened the very future of humanity, and the fate of all planet cries is like the wadi new crane and the multiplication of conflicts on the globe crime. it's like the climate, the emergency and biodiversity loss cries, is like the dire financial situation of developing countries and the fate that the

sustainable development goals. and gar, is, is like the lack of god, the rains of our around promising new technologies to will disease, connect people and expand opportunity in just the time since i became secondary to general a to less been developed to heavy genes, little technology, connecting technology with the human nervous system as progressed from idea to proof of concept crypto currencies and that the block chain technologies are wide spreads. but the cross host of new technologies that he's a fought us, that red flags, social media platforms based on the business model that monetize his aldridge and get, and negativity are causing n told damage to communities and societies. 8 speech misinformation and abuse. that again, especially at women and vulnerable groups, are probably frightening. our data is being bought and sold to influence our behaviors, while spyware and surveillance,

i don't have control all with no regard for privacy. artificial intelligence can compromise the integrity of information systems that may via and indeed democracy itself. quantum computing, who destroy cyber security and increase the lease of malfunctions to complex systems. we don't have the beginnings of a global architecture to do with any of these excellencies progress on these issues and more is being gal austin by geopolitical tensions out world is in paddle and paralyze. geopolitical divides that end that mining the work of the security council. and they're mining international law and then mining fast and people's facing democratic institutions and their mining all forms of international cooperation. we can not go on like these, even the various groupings set up outside the multilateral system by some members

of the international community. if fallen into the threat of geopolitical divides like the g 20 at one stage, international relations seem to be moving towards a g 2 world. now we risk ending up with a g. nothing. no corporation, no dialogue, no collect is problem solving. but the reality is that we live in the world where the logic of corporation dialogue is the only boss forwards. no power or group alone can call the shots. no most global challenge can be solved through the coalition of the willing. we did the coalition of the world. except loss. what old leaves will do i press on played twaddle. men the only cale said qualities your mom, the out what the do to resolve the super monte. ladies, your, the algae of the corporations and act to kathy on from you. yet, star langley, the color of the united nation,

a 14 percent increase these decades. we have a rendezvous. we've climate disaster. i recently saw it with my own eyes in pakistan, where one says the country is submerged by a most soon, onset arts. we see everywhere. plenty terse is a victim of scorched earth policies. the past here as broad as youtube's worst feet waves, he is the middle ages, mega that out in china, the united states and beyond. fabulous talking the horn of africa. 1000000 species at risk of extinction, no region is untouched, and we ain't seen nothing yet. the hot, the summers of to they may be the coolest summers of 2 mortal once in a lifetime, climate shocks may soon become once at e, at events. and then every crime at these us that we know that women and girls are the most affected, the climate crises as

a case study in moral and economic injustice. the g 20 m, it's 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. but the poorest and most formidable, those upon 3 bolted least 2, these crises are bearing its most brutal impacts. meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry is fisting on hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and windfall profits. while households budgets shrink and our planet burns, excellencies, let's tell. it's like he tease our well, he's addicted to fossil fuels and it's time for an intervention. would it holds fossil fuel companies and that enablers to account. and that includes the banks, private tech, with the asset managers and other financial institutions that continue to invest than than the rights carbon pollution. i think gloves the massive public relations machine. the raking in billions to shield the foss. you falling this the from
