some project that became a major milestone in their lives. seduction, our ice cold passion starts october 8th on d, w. ah ah, this is d w news coming to live from berlin condemnation. as russia declares victory and its so called referendums, moscow installed officials claim of to 99 percent of voters and occupied ukrainian regions. want to join russia and formerly asked the kremlin for annexation, crane and its allies reject the results. also coming european leaders blame,

sabotaged for 3 leaks, spewing gas into the baltic, sea scientists, detective explosions long rushes, nord stream pipelines. moscow says it's not to blame and also want sensors. plus iranian athletes abroad worried about the deadly cracked animal. protesters backup, dw meets exiled or maintenance, living in berlin, desperate for news from a country under an information blackout typhoon, nor roo slams into se asia bringing floods and fears. wins. the clean up begins in vietnam as thailand ready for heavy rain. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. ukraine and it's western allies have rejected the results of so called ref. condoms held in for russian occupied regions

. moscow installed officials say between 87 and 99 per cent of residence, voted yes to being annexed into the russian federation. some of the supper this leaders have already, formerly requested incorporation. ukraine's president has vowed to defend all his country's territory and force russia out of the occupied zones of clothes and denette. as the results of the so called referendum came in for the russian backed authorities, it was a day they'd been waiting for, for years, visited of them good only with dreaming about bis in 2014. and then we were making history ideally, and that's what this is in him up to day. we live in historic days where we are reuniting without big motherland, murphy, what we've great russia, really gay, or se, according to officials in the 4 occupied regions and overwhelming majority of votes were cast in favor of russian annexation with

a high turn out. but ukrainians, who recently fled those areas tell a very different story also said that was the results were nicely drawn up on paper. but in reality people didn't fold up a kind of the turn out wasn't that large. those people are very much opposed to the referendum re and no one wants to join russia. no one's novice comes in with that. with this pressure, people are scared to over. yes, cognition. i am, but i saw members of the voting commission filling and ballads themselves while sitting in their cars. i thought with my own eyes, they did the same in their voting districts, eat them with, i know my relatives, my friends, mostly no one voted. you don't the whole us a while. what the clipper, this is what the referendum is. is this what free will is walking around with assault rifles and making others sign ballots. so keys in its western allies have

denounced the referendums as illegal and illegitimate. say forced out on you that is forcing the occupied territories cannot even be called an imitation of a referendum when we will, oc, to protect top people in the hassan region in these upper region region in dumbass . emmy currently occupied areas of the hockey region. and in crimea, if cromwell, the u. s. is un representative said, washington would ask the un security council to condemn the vote solution where the resolution ordering russia to withdraw from ukraine am referenda cause. but with moscow having a veto on the council, there's no chance of the resolution passing in the suitcases with the sham votes out of the way. now it's up to president putin just how foster he wants to complete the final step on the lease annexing the occupied territories and escalating his 7 month old war. once again,

our correspondent nick connelly joy just out from the crating capital kid. nick, we've heard from some others fleeing the annexation. what kind of pressure were people they're put under to vote for giving up their holland to russia? we've seen those digital social media of a polling officials walking around kind of residential districts knocking on doors, often accompanied by armed soldiers trying to drum up some kind of interest, some kind of participation in these events. i eat, obviously the message for care of has been clear all the time that you brennan's should. we caught these pseudo referenda that they should stay at home or even voting. let alone participating in the organization of these votes comes with the potential prison sentence here under ukrainian law. so there's definitely a sense that people were being forced to the ballot in particular, people who are dependent on the state teachers, civil servants, police, or other kind of emergency service personnel have all are reported being forced to

turn up by their bosses at pain of losing your bonuses or wages as if he said to those people not only are having to vote and vote the way that they're expected to, but also are being encouraged and pressured into taking russian. possibles ok, so coercion, there in these enter in these are referendums. has russia effectively pushed forward the red line with these so called referendums, neck for defending what it sees as its territory with nuclear weapons? less definitely the threat coming from oscar. now whether or not that sir, a bluff or not, we still can't tell it's, it's a very dangerous bluff to test. but definitely hiring officials, people like to meet that video of the former president, are basically making it very clear that russia would be willing to use nuclear weapons to defend its territory and with its territory. he also means these regions that are look, set to be annexed within the next couple of days. and i think looking more more

broadly this, this does seem like a sign of weakness from russia. russia is losing on the battlefield, those western weapons. i'm a huge difference to ukraine, is military. we had that big offensive in the hockey. now other parts front lines looking pretty difficult for the russian. so escalating with this threat of nuclear retaliation is we're not really excited strength, but a sign of weakness to us. more about what's happening, nick on the battlefield right now. i understand there is a major push by ukrainian forces to capture recapture another city. stephanie, we're seeing a lot of great activity around silly man that's been the northwestern part of dumbass lou haskell region. and in the summer, if you'll remember, that was basically where all the action was, where russia invested a huge number of lives lost and kicked, to lost in winning the use of it, of nets and its surroundings. and now it seems like ukraine is in circling some of the russian forces. they're from 2 directions, believing the option of either giving themselves up as prisoners of war or of retreating from that part of front lines. but i think it's really important to bear

in mind that all through this and a campaign, especially last few months, all the experts, all the analysts have been wrong footed by what ukraine's military has done all in the summer. we have all the attention, all the publicity was about had saw in the south. then in the end we saw all the activity in a place where no one expected it near had give. so that could happen again here. and all the information we get from the front lines normally takes 23 days to kind of trickle through wanting definitely the case that you often even feel, jonas work in those areas. the rush troops, not sure where you think they are in place, where we've been reporting a thought we were surround by ukraine. troops turned out to be still pretty contested. heavily contest and dangerous pot. front lines, definitely sense that ukrainian forces are trying to kind of push their momentum and take advantage of rush weakness until these, you know, hundreds of thousands of munoz mobilized russian troops start arriving on the frontlines. nick, thank you very much. our corresponded nick currently there in kia or russia's military is called up over 300000 reserve soldiers for duty in its war against ukraine. but almost 2 thirds. as many people have fled,

the country. countries bordering russia report almost 200000 russian nationals have crossed since the mobilization was declared. others are staying in protesting despite the risk. ah, no to warn the shout. hundreds of demonstrators stick to the streets of moscow to protest hooton's mobilization. authorities arrested many of them no longer among them was mikhail, a 29 unit musician and bought gusto. but he thought he says, yeah, he spent 6 hours and custody whistler during which the police tried to force him to sign a draft notice yet, but a shot that'll work on. i was taken into another room, though a numerous men, the 2 police officers and other 2 were in plain clothes, faced the man. they locked the door from the inside and they began telling me that

i was nobody. they humiliated me shove me around and even kicked me. i had to endure it all guys. in the end i made out without signing anything. i feel now. i'll just have to wait and see what happens. back all. only of ot becca. as a dash covington dash, since his detention mc has been seeing that the friend he hardly goes out to white police. he could be called up for the mobilization because he has completed his military service. but he says he has been against the war from the very beginning. we're going to call you all. there is no way that i will be drafted. that is all. i would rather go to a penal colony, then go to warn you shall angle, just as military has reportedly suffered heavy losses in ukraine. moscow hoops fresh troops will change its fortunes. officially, 300 pounds and expedient. soldiers have been called up, but critic fate the draft is considerably more universal and more arbitrary,

particularly, and provincial regions. men without basic military training alfredo being sent to fight like this warehouse worker or his galoshes. they say to us just go are at, but they don't care whether we come back some day where just a cannon fodder. the goal of this mobilization is to stock up on cannon fodder, and wind with quantity. since the quality isn't there. you audience thought cost me hail in moscow says he doesn't want to flee abroad, even if it's risky. staying in russia theater will go there. you lead the opera. i can sensing something inside me a sense that i don't like what's going on here. and i want to defend myself or but i think there's still hope every of them when i, but if no one stays in russia, then no one can change anything. in gala thawing thought he is marsden towards

dallas. mchale wants to continue teaching to the streets, to protest against bolton's war, even if he and his fellow demonstrators could be up to 15 years behind laws for doing so. european union leaders say 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 and germany. though there are no claims of responsibility. poland says the leaks marked an escalation in the war in ukraine. a kremlin spokesman said it would be stupid and absurd to blame russia for the attack fuel spilling out into the baltic sea. after while the youth topped diplomat, joseph beryl. say's is a likely octave sabotaged b t. what nodes stream pipelines linked russia and germany, 3 red dots, monk,

the places where the leaks were detected. even though the pipelines are not currently delivering rushing gas to europe. they're still full of fuel. up to 100000000 cubic meters of gas is spewing from the pipelines every hour. with no way of closing them. the links could continue until the pipes are empty. european leaders say they're fairly certain about the calls of the leaks. oh, that 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 of sabotage, the ausa to landfill, a gall met sabotage. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just knew j excruciating yet 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 evening before the results of the official new investigation. we're

doing news crew church which broke to renew. the e. u has vod retaliation for any attack on the energy network. the leaks are expected to last for at least in the week. and only then can investigations begin. earlier we spoke to tor eva storm and from the royal norwegian naval academy. i asked him if there was any evidence of sabotage on the north stream pipelines through all the distance between the leagues and the other explosions near the end in the pipeline. and so on. both indicates that this is not a accident. this is something which was planned and, and conducted by humans in order to destroy the dose black lance. that this happened in the baltic sea, not far from the island of bon home, is quite a bit of traffic out there. maritime tropic. how difficult would it be to carry out

such attacks in those locations without being detected actually fairly easy or seduce expos that could have been their place there, weeks and months, even years and beforehand and a ship could. it's just stopped over dna position or maybe 3 months ago and sent out a remote operated vehicle. i mean a submarine a, something placed those expose it and left. so were later they could designate the dose, exposes by great was emo or by time ingle on the order means. so it's fairly easy to converse integration. is there any indication as to who might be behind the attacks if that's what they were? i would not say indications, but it's highly likely in my opinion that it's russia and basically for 2 reasons.

one s that that is a way to, to make sure that they kind of be pressured in a way to deliver guests to north stream, to germany. again, they have obligations, legal obligations to provide us they have no stop providing that gas to 1st say that's just to help us to delay in maintenance office on to eventually pump systems down from august on with reference to maintenance of the gas lines. and now they have been destroyed, so they cannot deliver it, which makes them look innocent. but still they are behind it. and they don't say that they are using energy as a weapon, but they are really doing it. and everyone knows. but as long as they don't say it disguise is what they are actually doing. when they also, they are popular with is the, a great power competition and a great strategic my point though it last,

russia only had to really pull up a tooth to influence its neighbors negotiation position versus the west bus to grant and so on. at the dos off and it's paula which hub fade to a large degree and it's an a g o. sorry. and but them. yeah, sorry, sorry, yeah, just we don't have that much time. i just wanted to ask you how investigators will go about determining what happened to those pipelines and how long do you think that might take it's very hard to say. obviously they will do an investigation much like the police are doing when they have a tunnel bump or something on shore. and they will try to find the remnants of explosives. so and the order sign off what's going on, don't dare and conduct an investigation. it problem now is to actually get access,

considering that the state, a very dangerous operation on area with all the gas coming out. it's got this, daniel, so humans as ships can actually sink if they get gas in the water mass between been benefit to and there was a last day of an explosion. first, they have to isolate the incident. stop the gas leak and down to come. don't go down and start investigating and proper ok. dangerous complex situation commander taught us doormen of the royal norwegian naval academy. thanks for talking with us . no problem. sketch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. south korea says con yang transpired to short range ballistic missiles off its east coast on the eve of us, vice president come la harris's trip to sol. the reported launch comes days after south korea and the united states began staging joint military drills of the korean

a wrong think there international. i'm glad that for the 1st time the world is hearing app please. for freedom was holl, i'm kid quillen doing your i have anymore. so the more that is because for them the fight against the regime in iran just went into another round typhoon. nora has made land fall in vietnam, bringing heavy rains and winds of over a 100 kilometers an hour. airport schools and offices are closed and hundreds of thousands of been evacuated. the typhoon has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, but residents are being worn to sailor due to lance lives and flooding. north hit vietnam after slamming into the philippines earlier this week. and so that's a short while ago i spoke to michael to car ski, a journalist and human city. i asked him about the situation in vietnam right now. here at home and city were well south of where the storms impact was. what we've

had when the rain today, but up at central vietnam landfall and appears coastal cities were spare, the worst and hours for landfall. there were concerns that this could be, could have been significantly stronger than it was landfall. but we're still waiting on damage reports from the mountain. this region, once you get away from the coast in central vietnam, that's very rugged, lot of remote communities in the mountains. and this is where the dangers of land slides from heavy rain will be really, really prominent. we've already seen reports of the 2 main or south highways being cut off by flood waters in certain areas about a 1000000 people work. i've been without electricity at various points, so no, no fatalities been reported, which is great news, but again, it'll probably be tomorrow once we start to hear from more of the mountain communities that have potentially been cut off in some areas. ok, so transports and electricity disrupted. how have authorities been dealing with this situation? they've been really on the ball with this. i mean,

since the storm track will be strengthened on the other side of the philippines, this has been kind of all i hear about on the storm for the past 4 or 5 days. so authorities evacuated, people who needed to be evacuated station, military equipment and personnel, where they needed to be shut down airports well in advance and several different provinces. and we set up shelters and had teams ready to restore power and distribute supplies. as soon as you conditions come down, you also hold in a lot of fishing ships well before the storm arrived as well. so the official response has been very proactive. well, the typhoons are nothing new and vietnam. how do people generally cope during the typhoon season? yes, certainly nothing new central coast, especially it usually gets hit by 5 or 6 every year or even more than that. but this one was only strong, but they, you know, that a lot of the houses, they're sort of sturdy, a lot of built of country. so we've seen

a lot of damage and photos over the past day or 2 of how you get in there, really blown off, things like that. but a lot of these things are pretty easily repaired. the other take shelter, you know, when, when ordered, and people kind of know what to do when these things make landfall. okay, michael, thank you very much. that was journalist michael to kosky there in hu, human city. thank you. the corona virus pandemic is not yet over, but it's already the subject of numerous movies and tv series, the latest called this england portrays british prime minister boris johnson's personal and political dramas. during the pandemic, he's played by renown shakespearean actor kenneth branagh. but some critics are saying it's all too soon. thank you very much. thank you. goodbye. thank you. most thought many perhaps hoped that this good buy would be the last bid see of boris johnson bought less than a month after leaving office in disgrace. the former prime minister is back in a t v series. king jeff, good?
