is huge, they have so much to lose shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. does this have to be really, really good? start september 30th on d, w. ah. ah . ah, this is the w news live from berlin, condemnation and sanctions as russia claims victory. and it's so cold referendums. moscow installed officials claim up to 99 percent of voters across several ukrainian regions. want to join russia, ukraine and it's western allies reject the results and pledge at the top response.

european leaders, blaine sabotaged. freed leaks viewing gas into the baltic, se scientists to take that explosions along. rush is not stream pipeline bosco's. his it also was asked by sound to in cuba, the island is left without power up to hearken. he and no sound. the electricity. great. now florida is bracing for the strengthening storm. ah, i'm been visible and welcome you, crane and it's western allies have rejected the results of so called referendums, held in for russian occupied regents. moscow installed officials say between 87 and 99 percent of residents voted yes to being annexed into russia. the united states is planning a un resolution condemning the ballot is a sham, ukraine's president is bound to defend all his countries territory,

and force russia out of the occupied jars. once again, russia seems poised to take over neighboring territory illegally. moscow says the referendums, unoccupied ukraine reflect the voice of the people, and that they say they want to become russian. ukraine in its allies, say the votes are nothing more than a pretext for expansion. there are also fears that russia would try to press men in the regions into military service to fight against keeps forces. ukraine's president says he's not going to let that happen. each other all was provo. this further attempt to annex ukrainian territory means there is nothing more to talk about with the president of russia. i shall audit fishy leveled in with you. we will act to protect our people in the henderson region in this, appalachia region in don bass, in the currently occupied areas of the heart of cape region. and in crimea, if cromwell, russia's annexation of crimea in 2014, was preceded by referendum,

much like the one that just ended unconstitutional, announced mir days before voting began and carried out in a war zone in the presence of armed soldiers. most countries don't recognize russian control of crimea. western allies say the same will apply to the 4 regions where the latest sham referendums took place. here, at the u. n, the u. s. promised to make russia pay if it tries a repeat of crimea, the united states will never recognize any territory. russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex as anything other than part of ukraine. we reject russia's actions unequivocally. and we will continue to work with our allies, partners and like minded to impose cost on russia and to provide historic amounts of support for ukraine. but international condemnation hasn't stopped moscow's

ambitions and ukraine. vladimir putin has even threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend territory. he claims as part of russia at this point, only he knows where that imaginary border lies. i spoke to alexander hook, the former principal deputy chief monitor of the o s e special monitoring mission to ukraine. i asked where the claims of a landslide victory for russia in the so called referendums, reflects the will of the people who live there. what happened in the last few days in these regions of ukraine is over of fiction and a very obscene fiction that these, in which viewers are invited to suppose that victims of atrocities committed by the russian forces might slide if the perpetrators of them. i do believe that the strip for what happened and what will happen has been bricked in a long time ago last year said before what happened in 2014 was probably the

precursor of what we know my seem to be unfold in these 4 areas. will make up 50 percent of the ukranian territory. so we'll ukrainians from these annex regions now be conscripted to fight against their own countrymen. russia certainly will make sure that those area studies will come see the restaurant of each of course, does not correspond with ukrainian law. and international law will serve their own purposes and they will seek any manpower they can find to defend these areas as they have already indicated they would do. i would, however, also suggest that any ukrainian living in russia occupy the areas that may have put across and these paper has done so to survive. not to support these ambitious

claims by russia. what happens now that these regions are part of russia according to moscow? if you cranium forces do attack, i cannot read the heads of the plans of what credit the criminal might do. ukraine has all the right to defend its territory that the remain it's territory after these illegal actions that russia took. as i mentioned before, international law and ukrainian law clearly states that will happen is illegal. russia may use, however, this as a pretext to up its defense and will claim that the areas are russian territory and therefore it can escalate the conflict further. legally, it doesn't change anything, these areas are and remain ukrainian territory. alexander who in the hey, thank you very much for your analysis. thank you. the european union chief says sabotage is responsible for leaks on the north stream pipelines that are sending

plumes of gas into the baltic. sea scientists recorded under c explosions around the lines connecting russia to germany, that there are no claims of responsibility. poland says that leaks martin escalation in the war on ukraine. a chief or so the funder line has pledged the strongest possible response to any deliberate disruption of energy infrastructure. gas bubbles. channing, the baltic sea. this video from denmark's military shows thousands of cubic meters of fuel flowing from a pipeline, at least 70 meters below sea level. the, on the see pipelines north stream one and 2 link russia and germany, the 3 red dots mock, the places where leaks were detected. even though the pipelines are not currently delivering russian gas to europe, they are still full of fuel off to the pressure in the pipeline dropped earlier

this week. the operator said that suggested actual damage to the on the c pipes. some european leaders say that damage was no accident. the order sounds good. we have swedish intelligence, but we also have received information from denmark. and based on this, we concluded that this is probably a deliberate act. it is probably a case, a sabotage. the ausa told anthro ago met sabotaged it, still not clear what caused the problems on the pipeline pulse of which were constructed just a few years ago. but sweden has launched a preliminary probe to find out if the system was intentionally attacked. if it is confirmed, that's clearly in owen's interest. um, now my understanding is the lease will not have a significant impact on years. energy resilience. and what's critical is that we are working day and day out both on a short term basis in

a long term basis. to address our energy security for of, for europe. the ruptured north stream pipelines, partly owned by russia's biggest gas producer. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just knew jeff scooted near them. no option can be ruled out right now. it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline, so we can't exclude any version of events regarding the reason for this to before the results of the official investigation. we're doing these cru church, which broke with, with the accusations of sabotage. the suspicions over who is to blame a ratcheting up tensions between russia and its european neighbors. germany's long awaited nuclear power shut down is likely to be delayed due to concerns about energy supply over the winter. economy minister hope at ha beck says 2 of the countries, 3 nuclear plants being prepared to stay on line until april,

a 3rd year low injection. the development in france in the last few weeks has been significantly worse and actually predicted. and in this respect, it is the scenario they would have to reckon with at the moment. the suggestion that 2 out of the 3 active german new co plans could remain connected to the grid in the 1st quarter of 2023 has triggered a contentious debate within the ruling coalition. some argue their operational lifespans should be extended for several more years. while nuclear pony and say that the plans must be shut down his plans. let's have a look at some of the other stories making use around the world. saudi arabia's crown prince bahamas bid. solomon has been named prime minister post traditionally held by the king. the prince is already seen as the king is the vent to rule the about his father officially remains monarch, but haven't been salmon previously served as defense, minister and cabinet in iran, they have been protests against the death of
