shan balance. class freed over the murder of his high school girlfriend, adam sang was the focus of a popular true prime podcast. now a u. s. judge ordered his release as new evidence comes to life more than 20 years later. ah, i'm anthony howard. welcome. in a hard hitting speech to the un general assembly germany, chancellor. allah schultz has accused the kremlin of pursuing and imperialist war, and ukraine. shots told the assembly, the world must not accept a pace dictated by russia or risk undermining the world's rule based system. he said rushes actions posed a threat to global peace that deserved condemnation. he also pledged germany support to ukraine in the form of supplying weapons to key exam equals on the

employee and john, and let las now to part of what else had to say at the un general assembly. the international would, it does not happen by itself. if we do nothing, then this chapter is about to ease of appeal upon pseudo and gold is charter colton . all of us to uphold it purposely said principles. and we must understand id by today when a major nuclear power armed to the teeth. a founding member of the united nations and a permanent member of the un security council, no less seeks to shift bordered through the use of fired animal. we'd be caught, you know, there is no justification whatsoever for russia's warf occupation against ukraine and president putin. his waging this war with one single objective system to seize ukraine. from self determination, political independence, do not count for him. and that's only one word face. this is imperialism, you are plain, and the same, ultimately not in disaster,

for the returned of imperialism, is not only a disaster for europe. and it is also a disaster. far global, peaceful, old eyes is which is the anti season of imperialism and neo colonialism. and that his wife was so important and that didn't happen here in this room. 141 countries, categorically cont, demo, precious war for occupation was deserted and bought that alone is not in ours. if we want this war to end, than we cannot be indifferent to how it cameron's with john wooten will only give up his full and his imperialist ambitions. if he realised that he cannot win her script dogwood, nor do you call in. so doing or we me up he's isn't just is trying ukraine, but he's also ruining his own country to talk to you. this is why we will not accept a piece dictated by russia. as this is why we will not accept any pretentious referendum

to this is why ukraine must be able to defend itself against russia's invasion when one were supporting ukraine with all our might financially economic. i wish to mention assistant didn't also wish wetlands to get that with our apartments around the world. we have imposed have re konami sanctions on the russian leadership and russia economy. and this is how we are making good on a promise that we need. and every of our country is made when joining the united nation, namely to join forces to maintain international peace and security of shots that will i spoke earlier with the w, washington bureau chief, venus paul who's covering the un general assembly in new york. and i asked her what stood out most from the speech of the german chancellor. well, you know, it comes at a moment when no olaf shows the german chancellor is facing quite some criticism here in the united states and also maybe around the world for not doing enough to support ukraine. so he opened with

a very strong commitment to support ukraine to fight the invasion of russia with everything a possible. he talked about the return of imperialism, saying that dad would not be only a disaster for germany and europe, but also for the rest of the world. this whole speech is in a way, very typical for all of scholes. many other speakers before him. they kind of hit every single problem, but he was very organized to stick to kind of some more structural, more principal question. so after he talked about the russian invasion, the new crane, he talked about human rights and her and the climate change is saying that it starts always at home. so you have to do your homework and you have to take care of the goals of the climate goals or within your own country. and then he also talked

a lot about her supporting the global south. i think it is fair to say that this is kind of a mission of his he really, really wants to work on a kind of working with countries from africa, from latin america on, on a more of an i to i level because he has an understanding of a very multi or literalism approach to the world. and he thinks we have to really work closely and very respectful with those countries if we really want to move on in the right direction in as was heard from sholtes and a host of others. but the stage is very much now set for russian president vladimir putin. when is he due to speaking and what are the expectations? so yeah, well i, it is unclear whether he speaks to morrow morning, a european time. there's a lot of warry going on,

his hardly anybody you can talk to is not mentioning the fear that he might declare war to morrow against ukraine. we talked to know earlier shows about a possible referendum holden, the easton, a regions like a don barza and one sca asking like of forcing people to watch for wanting to become a member going to address ukraine. and also the question, what it would mean if the eastern regions this separatist regions would be forced to hold a referendum they w, washington bureau chief in his pole at the un general assembly in york. thanks so much. okay, so let's remind you of the situation in ukraine. the has the un so concerned that being a plan by separatist authorities in russian hill parts of ukraine to hold referendums

on joining russia. authorities in lou hantz done yet, zapper asia and her son say 4 days of voting will begin on friday. the announcement come as ukrainian soldiers have been making sweeping gains from russian forces in a counter offensive. those yes, my friends are 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 hands as well as the occupied parts of the hassan and separation regions have announced similar poles to begin on friday. internet's 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 get

on that? we're so happy this is happening when the operation started back in february, you're screaming her a and that's what we are 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 ins apparition, ukrainians who had fled russian occupied areas. port scorn on the plans with by no means can i call it a referendum because what happened was a real seizure of territories which is deal and what the russian federation wants to do with those territories. i believe it is illegal and pointless. come, it is a fake exercise to show that the occupied territories want to join the russian federation, which is a total lie. i will have the votes come as ukraine continues to press its counter offensive in the east where it's retaken,
