the u. s. and nato have condemned the annexation votes. the white house says the votes are an affront to the principles that underpin the international system. those. yes, my friends over sir, the don boss is returning home with that leader of the self proclaimed in its people's republic, announced a vote on joining russia. authorities in the neighboring self declared peoples republic of lou, hence, as well as the occupied parts of the hassan and separation regions have announced similar poles to begin on friday and denounce some residence. welcomed the move when speaking to journalists with separatist mind as nasty, but we all support us all of us. so i think it will all be fine. this long journey won't be for nothing. we will make us the victory will be ours. what would you like? we're so happy this is happening when the operation started back in february.

you're screaming. hooray. and that's what we're saying today. if you wouldn't, you. but ukraine's foreign minister dmitri qu labor was quick to condemn the hastily organized votes as sham referendums sang ukraine would keep liberating its territory and keyed ukrainians, pulled scorn on the plans. we was, i am what we think they should held the referendum on the rush, a collapsing at oscar. we don't need russia. you will. neither enough has san region nor in all of ukraine. we. we didn't invite them here and they have to leave . no amongst them here anymore. roku, mitchell. beacon think whatever the one didn't do you bring into entry, does not belong to anyone else. they can decide whatever they want. ah, the votes come as ukraine continues to press its counter offensive in the east, where it's retaken, thousands of square kilometers within just weeks. with ukraine and officials saying on monday, it's forces had even recaptured a village in the loop,

hence region oh and eliana li vehicle, a political analyst and for a ukrainian member of parliament joins me now from london. welcome to d, w. and let me ask you 1st, what was your reaction when you heard about the upcoming referendums announced today? well, 1st of all, it's of no surprise that russia keep staging these fake referendums. that is their playbook, isn't it? and that's similar referendum that they tried to stage in crimea in 2014, and they just keep going down that route and using that same old template. but obviously, just like the crimea referendum, these will be as legitimate ukrainian officials interpret this as a find that russia is then thing defeat. why do you think russia is doing this now? where we could see an extremely successful counter offensive in the northeast of ukraine and russia has realized that it can no longer sustain the occupied

territories. and i'm sure that they're rushing to have these referendums conducted on the occupied territories as soon as possible. because they have made these attempts previously ever since may and in particular in his own region, as well as than yes, can the hogs, you know, they had several timelines and several deadlines to conduct these referendums and force people into voting affected by the propaganda to get reunited as they say, with russia, but they failed because they simply couldn't get enough people to the phoning stations and they were getting that intelligence. the last date that they've allocated was september 11th, which was the general election day for russia. and they failed to deliver to that date as well. so now they're just having seen this successful counter offensive in the east, they're rushing to secure any positions. they have to think they're going to go through with the referendums. this time around them. it's difficult to say,

i'm sure that if they are progressing, although i know to be put in have keeps postponing his address to the nation. so i'm sure that that decision is still being made and they're waiting on the options, how successful that could be. whether the people will go out to the polling stations and who will actually vote who will be forced into voting, who will be tortured into voting. and if i may note there, then there are constant occasions when russian people have absolutely no idea what's happening in the occupied territories under the propaganda that they've been exposed to. and similarly that people on the occupied territories don't really know the real situation. for example, i hear reports from my friends who are in ukrainian military, that delivery to territories in hot region. people had no idea that which happens people did. people didn't know whether key,

if it's still under ukrainian control. they're surrounded by the narrative of russia spread and it's very difficult for them to know the reality. what would a referendum and the outcome of a referendum, which is quite predictable mean for the situation on the ground for the people who could go from living and russian control territory to territory annexed by russia? well, i think it's not going to change much, realistically. and if anything that's aimed at the internal internal russian audience for, for that consumer, it's not going to change anything internationally. and it's very important that both nature officials, the u. s. and many foreign leaders have said that it's going to be a sham referendum and no one's gonna really believe any outcomes of it. so legally . and legitimately, it's not going to change anything. and ukraine is intended to get all of its territories back. a political analyst and former ukranian member of parliament.

thank you so much for for your assessment tonight. and turkish president, red job type erred on has called on russia and ukraine to compromise on a quote dignified way out of the war. speaking at the united nations general assembly in new york on urged countries to support turkey's efforts for a lasting peace. he also said on crow will work towards protecting ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. in his breakfast and i got together with president putin and we had very extensive discussions with him and he is actually showing me that he's willing to end this as soon as possible. that was my impression because the way things are going right now are quite problematic. our corresponding dorian jones joins me now from is temple dorian or dawn says putin has given him the impression that he wants to put an end to the situation as soon as possible. that is quite vague and past experience tells us that the kremlin

terms for peace negotiations don't respect ukraine's territorial integrity. something on has bound to protect. so what could that dignified way out early on is talking about, look like well, the president has really given very little details on what this dignified diplomatic solution to this conflict will be. other than saying that long talk to president putin last week to take a bunch of them in the conflict as soon as possible. and then one says, positioning itself as the facilitator to bring that conflict to an end. but it has to be said, all the signs and signals coming from moscow point to quite the opposite direction . president putin today to calling on the turkish, on the russian military supplies to step up. they production the supply, russian forces fighting ukraine and. and now we have this talk of a referendum in russian occupied ukraine that would succeed to russia. now this is

totally contradicting what for the no one says where a solution has to involve russian withdrawing from all of ukraine. or dawn has been acting as a mediator between russia and ukraine. he was very important in reaching that, that a great deal a couple of months ago. but is he just someone who is willing to talk to or does food and also listen to him during well, present one's relationship with putin is undoubtedly close. some of the leaders of met 3 times in many months. they've had long total, some out. last for several hours and it's clear that i think in god's value his relationship, we both want to take leave for the cause of the fact that he's not enforcing western sanctions again. and that really isn't very important. guten is why we believe that russia has benefited a low monthly from don and going full with giving the fact that the width are

expect department to make. the thanks so much or even who will be very keen to keep this relationship with the one in tack. therefore he is in a position where he doesn't want to humiliate code one. he knows he has to make concessions sometimes without one the grain deal with the united nations of turkey . one could, is a see is an indication of the who to knows the has to give something to her in this ongoing relationship. does that mean that the all and the complex because one is calling for? no, but i think what we do expect going forward possibly in the coming weeks is some tool to preserve exchange, which one said that they are working to facilitate. i just signed up for just one because one talking with will not enforcing sanctions is that he has to mediate with russia door in jones and assemble. thank you. take a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. you got has announcements. first death from ebola in 3 years. health officials say

a 24 year old man died of the disease. they've declared an outbreak in the central district of move, bending. the world health organization says several suspected patients are receiving care. that use drug regulator has warned that the cope at 1900 pandemic is far from over. and a plan vaccination campaign during the cold season is key to finding it. the europe medicines agency says member states should prepared to roll out vaccines to limit the spread a top un official has called for an independent probe into the death of an iranian woman who was arrested by the morality police 22 year old masa. i mean he's death has foreign nationwide protest she. 7 fell into a coma shortly after being arrested for not covering her hair. the head of the united nations has warned that the world is gridlocked by a string of crises. secretary general and when you go cherish told the un general

assembly in new york that countries are not willing to tackle problems including the war and your brain and climate change. and he warned of a global winter of discontent. thing developing nations are facing a dire financial situation. as the leaders gather in person for the 1st time in 3 years, quoterush also says the world is falling short on goals of tackling poverty and improving education. and he says, solutions must be found without delay. we do action across the board. let's have no illusions. we are in rough seas. we instead of global this content is on the horizon. a cost of living crazy, raging thrust is crumbling, inequality is, are exploding, and our planet is burning. people. i've heard of things with the most vulnerable suffering the most. and we get out after the w. washington guarantee venus paul, who is in new york city following the un general assembly for us in as good to see

good parish at the opening of the un general assembly talked about a multitude of crises the world is facing. find a number of world leaders and also already spoken. what were your main take away so far on this 1st day? i think are the sentence we just heard the most vulnerable or suffering the most. this is kind of in the key of his speech. he obviously talked about ukraine, which brought the world to her at the brink of a nuclear war, but he didn't leave it there. he talked a lot of odd climate change and the climate catastrophe which kind of had so many countries, especially many african countries. he talked about people dying of starvation, he talked about women and girls suffering the most. so he basically really painted or even darker picture than he normally does as the beginning of the united nations general assembly. but he still doesn't give up hope this is probably the 2nd take

away. he said, if we all keep staying together and fighting the bad and the evil, we still have a chance to change this world to a better place. a bit of hope there as well. a year ago, no one would have expected a full scale war on the european continent. how big of a role is the war in ukraine playing at the general assembly? now it does play a big role is everywhere, because as we just talked about, the food crisis in the world is also caused. sure by the climate catastrophe, by climate change, but also by the war in ukraine. and this hold of food crisis is also one of the main topics here. so the wind, ukraine is everywhere, but it's, it's not left. it's like really in the discussion as well that that with what comes up with this warn and what can be done to help. again,

those who are suffering the most. this is the biggest diplomatic week of the year. lot of talking, of course, on the big stage, but also behind closed doors. can we expect any substantial outcome regarding the many crises the world is facing at the moment? that's a good question. you know, many people say the u. n is a toothless tiger and it's only about goodwill speeches. and i think this is fair to certain extent, but what really matters are all these bilateral talks around the official a meeting. so for example, the german chancellor la charles just met refer turkish president, edwin. that was very important. i think a regarding the questions that how to move on within the european union. a with turkey for example. then the new prime minister of great britain met for the 1st time or with the monroe. my call for a longer sit down and she will meet

a president biden, to morrow for the 1st time to talk, talk about a possible a trade agreement. so there's a lot more going on than just right in the building behind me. in this whole, our eyes and ears at the un general assembly. thank you so much. well as the you and general assembly meet the new york, there is a fresh warning that rising sea levels are one of the biggest threats of climate change. the oceans depend on and arctica, which holds 90 percent of the planets ice. now, scientists say the ice is melting much faster and previously thought this is the weights one of the world's largest glaciers. it's located in western undocked car and covered 192 square kilometers. that's an area roughly the size of senegal. like most glaciers around the world, the weight is melting in international team of

researches has now mapped the retreat of the ice giant over the centuries. the results of worrying to say the least, the glaciers falling apart much faster than originally thought. so sweet leisure itself could contribute around 60 centimeters globally to sea level rise. the problem is in fact that swayed, has such a central position in the west. and i think i see that it's retreats and eventually collapse. could cause a whole west. and i think she to collapse and that would mean more than 3 meters of sea level rise. this wage glacier is part of a marine ice sheet. unlike some other glaciers that rest on dry land weights is grounded in the sea bed. one part called the ice shelf floats on the water and that's the problem. as a result of our greenhouse gas emissions,

the water is getting a warm up. as it heats up, it melts the glacier from below. scientist said that we have likely reached a critical point where large parts of the ice shelf might simply collapse. so the ice shells half of so called buttresses force that means their floating on the sea. but on the sides and sometimes also in front, they are in contact with small islands or a little hills on the site. and this gives some restriction, some property to break the flow of the ice. so if the ice self disappears, then this battery thing effect will become smaller. and sweet later will most likely increase its flow velocity. and weight isn't the only place melting. scientists estimate that by 2100 sea levels may arise,

bio rhonda meter or even more for the millions of people around the world who live in coastal areas. that's really bad news. the rising sea level mean that they will be hit by more frequent and more extreme floods. so it's vital to take immediate action scientists say. and the only way to do that is by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions as drastically and quickly as possible. here some other top stories were following for you today. the german government is on the verge of nationalizing the gas importer unit per. the company says it's and final discussions on a deal involving an investment of 8000000000 juris. juniper has been hit by soaring gas prices and cuts and supplies from russia. the european court of justice has ruled that germany cannot indiscriminately collect personal data. it says the practice violates e. you law. some german politicians in security experts say data collection is
