hi alice services. ah, be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by frappe bought, ah, ah, ah, this is the that we use live from berlin explosions in the baltic sea then leaks from the gas pipelines, connecting russia and europe. european countries, including germany, say it was deliberate or the western leaders asked whether this was russian sabotaged. also on the program. moscow claims it so called referendums and occupied ukraine. show people overwhelmingly in favor of joining russia. teeth and its

allies denounced the votes of the shaft. and the great exodus from russia gathers pays tens of thousands more men leave to avoid being called up to fight in ukraine . ah, phil gale, welcome to the program, germany, denmark, and sweden, se saboteurs caused gas leaks in the north stream. pipelines connecting russia to europe, scientist, recorded explosions in the baltic state before detecting 3 simultaneous leaks. ukraine has accused russia of carrying out a terror attack, or the european countries and the u. s. also fierce, sabotaged the kremlin, says it's extremely concerned while the pipeline operates. assess the damage is unprecedented. gas bubbles, churn, the baltic. see this video from denmark's military shows one area where 70 meters

below sea level gases escaping from the nord stream pipelines, the undersea pipelines. nordstrom, $1.00 and $2.00 link russia and germany, 3 red dots mark the places where leaks were detected, even though the pipelines are not currently delivering russian gas to europe. they're still fuel in the pipes. the pipelines operator reported to drop in pressure, but research has said they had detected possible explosions in the area whether leaks were observed, well, the source of these explosions. i mean, i mean, as far as we can tell, there is nothing a natural naturally occurring that that could explain the the exact source of them . it's of course, a bit hard for us to speculate the backs. these really are explosions,

which we find highly likely. then of course there are manmade somehow. denmark said the leaks when no accident but caused by deliberate actions. as the danish prime minister who had an energy facility in poland intended to bring gas from norway to replace russian supplies. poland leader called the leagues sabotaged the questions over the possible blasts and baltic sea highlight how politicized energy supplies have become following russia's invasion of ukraine. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. if she just needs a scrutiny of them, no option can be ruled out right now, it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline is to we can't exclude any version of events regarding the reason for this young man to before the results of the official investigation. we're doing news crew church, which coke with, with sabotaged potentially and play suspicions over who is to blame,

a heightening tensions between russia and its european neighbors. i asked to energy analyst and mikhail critical whether he believes the pipeline leaks were caused by sabotaged. yes, definitely, it was summer tires as far as when to stand that be explosions and ruptures in the biplanes are currently on the same old, same old in asleep. but the problem is to determine who is to blame if well, of the investigators the race pieces over the y, blaine, and the see the holes in the pipes. well have edges point in the words inside the by then it was an explosion for him. i will cite a made by some maybe sub what that was group or some and under water

equipment, which was to explore those by planes. or if we see that the explosions occurred inside the pipes, then it was a gasper, all gas firm could easily send well sounds. and which of the technicians called the big robot that goes inside the pipeline. and it is very easy to well, a sand it in the pipe to a specific point and then head exploded. right. it goes, gasper will definitely the company, the benefits from the explosions. explain why that is, because that would have been one of my next questions. so how would gas problem benefit from these explosions? but guess frog has been trained to the ma straight to the out the world does that. it is degrees in the floor of gas to europe. well, for because of some, a technical problem such as the unsafe door, binds and, or by as

a require in the repairs. we'll see most of the company that maintains the pipeline, it's proved that it was not true and the problem but, but, but why does gas problem need a pretext? these 2 pipelines are non operational. both have been shut down. so if it is gas problem, if it is the russian state, why blow up to pipelines but are not working anyway? will they need some sort of an explanation? they must show that someone was blowing those pipes and it gets promised not to blame. because if the guest room. busy will show as though the world does that the decrees or munition of supply was caused by some forest miser or some well circumstances that are beyond the will of guys pearl then guest is not going

to pay the penalty for breaking their contracts, payment to deliver those us or you go move, guess how difficult would it be then to? i mean, could i non state actors be involved in this? we do not know yet, but it is a very determined act. is it from inside or from outside? we don't know yet. i think investigation will show and well, the problem is that to repair that was pipelines requires well, many months of work. thank you for joining us and explaining that is a cleaning energy analyst. a critical a boscoe says early result from so called referendums, being held in the occupied ukraine show that most voters favored joining russia. the kremlin is expected to use the outcome to annex fort regions. cave in its

allies describe the votes, thus shun ballots and the refusing to recognize the results. the other dropping of votes into the ballot box should mean having a say in one's future, but not many ukrainians believed. that's what happened in so called referendums, staged in for russian held regions of ukraine. first, results showed overwhelming support for joining russia. cave in the west have already said they would not recognize the outcome of a valid that ukraine says was in some cases conducted at gunpoint level which got you're fema today. there's a small number of people who have to put something like that agreement mark on the balance the horse. and why wouldn't? because a man comes to every house with a rifle and asked them to vote. sure. what should people do when an arm person comes to their home, up to what they're forced to sign the ballot room or schumer, you do not see a video from mary. you po, shared by the ukranian city,

government in exile shows armed soldiers following election workers into residential buildings. a warning by ukrainian or thirties that people will face criminal punishment if they vote prompted some to leave. and others to hide behind closed doors with ukrainian leadership and it's western allies see the referendums as a pretext for the kremlin to annexed the 4 regions. blue hans donnette sk sir parisha and her son many ordinary ukrainians. think the same network then as a core illegal region 14, they're worse on fashion. it's simply unbearable. then human, a human to you. in a chilling warning, last week, vladimir putin said he would be ready to use nuclear weapons to protect territory.

he considered part of the russian federation with the war escalating continuously over the last few months. many ukrainians left their homes long before moscow staged. it's so called referendums on their future. those he stayed face the likelihood though now have to live as citizens of russia and perhaps even become fighters for its army. the, with the europe's border agency, front acts as nearly 66000 russians have flooded into the e. you over the last week. as men leave to avoid being called up to fight in ukraine, latvia has declared the state of emergency as it's frontier comes under pressure. kazakstan and ga, reporting tens of thousands of arrivals. he w correspondent maria cutter. mad sir, reports now from a checkpoint on the border between georgia and russia. super, thanks to the georgians for opening the border. it made it much easier for us to

live, to live alone with friends, children, our family on foot, or by bike with or without pads. many of these people crossing the border from russia into georgia are doing so to avoid being sent to war. d, w 's, maria cut to mads. they went to meet some of them says the thought of the mobilization of russia. this checkpoint enabling georgia has been working in an emergency mode. thousands of russians have already until the country trying to escape the war in ukraine. russian mat, along with their families, spent days and nights in q stretching 4 kilometers, most of the time without food and water. the price that they're willing to pay to so would going to the battlefield. alien spent 3 days on the road, moscow to up se, flat cop cars 1st by train than by bicycle. this is how he crossed the border and to ga 1st was just that i cannot support what is happening in russia. now. i am against putin's policies. i am against this war, but i think it makes absolutely no sense. i was actually supposed to go to japan

for a permanent residency in 6 months. but i decided that if everything closes down, there won't be any japan, when you really would've. nikki says originate from moscow, he worked for an energy company which closed down because of the war, he'd like to return to russia some day when moscow changes its political course. are going to, there is a huge influx of cause, a huge influx of people, but i understand the customs officers have figured out how to deal with this situation and have started to organize traffic. and what is interesting is people are also organizing themselves so much when you go with george is on his way from crass nadar to visit relatives in georgia. he tells d w, the border guards don't let every one through those. he took my passport and check to see if i was being drafted. that was it. those who are being mobilized, they just turn them around just like that. there have been cases like this. the george and interior ministry has already announced. it does not intend to close the border with russia. the russian federal security service has already deployed

military personnel and an arm and personal carrier to the frontier. to stop russians fleeing there, mobilization orders a hurricane. ian has left a trail of destruction across cuba, cutting off power to a 1000000 people. it's now heading for the southern united states. nasa has canceled a planned lodge in florida and moved its giant artemus moon rocket safely back into its hunger. as the state prepares for one of the fiercest storms in decades, battling the elements as hurricane in closed in on cuba. the hurricane ripped through the western part of the island for 5 hours, tearing down power, lions, and flooding homes, visible over $40000.00 people were evacuated. they escaped with their lives, but many have nothing left to go home to. you can get through anything except death . we'll keep going,

we'll always keep going. i heard kane ian is expected to head northwards over the gulf of mexico, where it is likely to grow wider and stronger before reaching florida on friday, and bringing heavy rain and flooding to georgia on saturday. while residents prepare for the worst summer, still hoping that hurricane in go away up to 3 meters of storm surge is expected leaving those near the coast, particularly run rouble pima him at the moment. can you imagine we are 100 meters from the beach? we're trying to take precautions bought damages, unavoidable, because a hurricane that comes out with such a force. what caused damage, but we're trying our purse. i will see you as president joe biden has declared a state of emergency in florida and some, 2 and
